Carlton and Collingwood are set to meet at Ikon Park for a practice match on Thursday February 20 to help raise funds for the bushfire appeal.

The first bounce will get underway at 4pm, with both sides having their first March Community Series fixtures taking place the following week.

The classic rivalry will be open to all fans to attend, with supporters encouraged to make a gold coin donation with all proceeds going directly to bushfire relief.

Further details regarding entry times and gates will be announced closer to the date.
