LET'S GET INTO IT: Cal Twomey, Sarah Olle and Riley Beveridge bring you AFL Exchange. Picture: AFL Digital

Collingwood came into the 2022 season with little to no expectations on it after finishing 2021 in 17th spot. As it stands, it is sitting seventh, has won five games in a row and with a favourable draw is every chance to feature in September. 

Sarah Olle, Riley Beveridge and Cal Twomey are back again on AFL Exchange to discuss how Craig McRae has turned the Magpies around. Plus, before the bye rounds began, St Kilda was seated in the top four. Now, it is outside the top eight and may not see September action. 

Also, Cal has the latest from the trade and free agency landscape. Plus, what were the biggest takeaways from the weekend's NAB AFL Under-18 Championships games?
