The AFLW finals series has been thrown into chaos, with a COVID-19 cluster at Collingwood causing the Magpies' qualifying final to be postponed.
Collingwood were due to take on the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Saturday night, but the AFL has decided that it won't go ahead as planned.
The AFL is yet-to-confirm a new date for the sudden-death final.
The other qualifying final between North Melbourne and Fremantle at Arden St on Saturday will go ahead as scheduled.
AFL competition management boss Laura Kane said the league received a request from Collingwood to postpone the match.
AFLW COVID-19 guidelines states a team is required to have a minimum 16 primary-listed players and five train-on players available to play.
"The health and safety of all members of the Collingwood AFLW program remains the priority and we will continue to work closely with both clubs," Kane said.
"Working alongside the club, it has been determined Collingwood would not be able to participate in a match this weekend.
"While the ongoing pandemic continues to impact and challenge our competition and our wider community, we remain committed to progressing the finals series as safely as possible."
The Magpies have also lost men's player Will Hoskin-Elliott and two assistant coaches to coronavirus protocols ahead of Friday night's AFL clash with St Kilda.
Magpies men's assistants Brendon Bolton and Josh Fraser are also isolating at home due to COVID-19 guidelines.
