Collingwood Magpies vs Brisbane Lions Preview
Rematch from Easter Thursday leads off the round with the Pies hoping to enact revenge on the Lions for their 33-point beatdown earlier in the year.
Collingwood returned to form last week with a stirring win over reigning premiers Geelong, but the Pies have suffered another serious injury blow with skipper Darcy Moore set for a 2-3 week stint on the sideline.
Brisbane suffered their own blow with offseason recruit Jack Gunston straining his MCL, but given their depth, the Lions should be fine up forward for the next few weeks.
The jury is still out on the Lions, but they did exploit Collingwood in a big way when they met in Round 4 – carving the Pies up through the midfield, winning the clearances handily, and forcing some big turnovers.
Brisbane tends to get strong support at Marvel, a key factor against the Collingwood Army this time of year.
After allowing the Cats to come back last week, plus the fact they are missing two key leaders in Moore and Nick Daicos, Brisbane to win a high-scoring game looks the play.
