This weekend marks the club's Ladies Day, where all the help from the women behind the scenes is put on show and appreciated.
Coach of the first grade squad, Scott Abercrombie, said it was a good way of saying thank you.
"It's a way of showing our appreciation to all the wives, girlfriends, partners and mothers for giving their partners to us on a long term basis," he said.
"It will be a big day with all three grades playing and everyone from all grades including 18s to join in.
"There will be marquees set up for them to sit in comfort and watch the footy with nibbles and refreshments."
All grades will take on Coffs Harbour but the main event, first grade will especially be an exciting round.
The last time the two sides met Coffs put the Magpies to the sword by 22 points.
But the Pies have been on the improve and looking to turn their season around.
Defeating the first placed Coffs team would be the ultimate sign that the club has put their season back on track after a disastrous start.
Abercrombie knows it will be a hard task but said he was confident if his side approaches the game with the right mindset they have a good chance of coming away with a win. Taylor Stone and Mark Harris return to the line-up boosting their ranks and Abercrombie said Adam Eckermann was better for his run last week.
The game kicks off at Wayne Richards Park at 2.20pm.
