Winner: Collingwood
This contest could be just as exciting as their match in the finals, and just as close. The Geelong side here is made up of players with premiership medals from the AFL and VFL, but Collingwood might have the edge as included in their 18 youngest players are Thomas, Pendlebury, Clarke, Cloke and Wood.

Nathan Djerrkura can play anywhere, and in the previous matchups for the Future Forces posts he was named on the wing. Yes he can play as a running defender like P Burgoyne and he also had some big games last season up forward for the VFL Geelong side.
