Collingwood Magpies vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
Now, some of my readers may consider this a bit of a troll tip taking the Gold Coast Suns at $2.85 to beat Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.
And, perhaps, I’m really taking the piss by pressing the best bet button.
If you think the pressure/doom/gloom surrounding talk about the Pies is intense right now, just see what happens should they lose to the Suns at home!
Collingwood currently sits 17th on the ladder – a position that didn’t exist when they last won a premiership in 2010. With 1 win, 4 losses the pressure is on the Magpies.
Gold Coast is coming off a solid 40-point win over the Swans at home last Saturday, and bar an incredibly disappointing effort against the Bulldogs in Round 4 have been competitive in every game this season.
Sometimes in the entertainment business, you’ve gotta barrack for the story – the prospect of everyone’s second favorite team (the Suns) beating the team you love to hate (Collingwood) is one I’m willing to back at this price.
