CHRISTMAS is well and truly coming early for local Collingwood fans.
The Magpies are heading to the Latrobe Valley for not just one, or even two, but four days starting this Sunday.
The 2023 premier will start their visit to the region with a super clinic at Morwell Recreation Reserve on Sunday afternoon, before visiting schools and junior football clubs and holding an open training session over the following few days.
The Magpies are slated to visit Morwell, Traralgon, Moe, Warragul, Drouin and head down to Fish Creek to offer their support.
Fish Creek was left devastated recently, after fire torched the local football/netball rooms.
Morwell Football-Netball Club export Tew Jiath, who was recently selected by Collingwood in the 2023 AFL Draft, will return to his hometown as part of the camp.
No surprise which Express journalist has already called first dibs on this.
