Carlton Blues vs Collingwood Magpies Preview

It’s the biggest Blues v Pies game since the 1988 Qualifying Final.

90,000+ fans are set to pack out the MCG.

If Carlton wins*, they play finals for the first time since 1988.

(Should the Hawks beat the Dogs, the Blues will be in the finals)

If Collingwood wins, they finish top four.

I won’t go into what happened last week for the Blues, and the Pies magical run came to a halt in Sydney against the rampaging Swans.

While some injury concerns face Collingwood – notably Jack Ginnivan and Jordan De Goey, the Magpies can still pull off something, it’s been the case all season – including when these two sides met in Round 11 with the Pies getting up by four points.

A real 50/50 with much at stake, but Collingwood winning a close one would add a lot of drama…and heartbreak.

Pies 1-39, Carlton fans better hope the Hawks cause an upset.
