Collingwood Magpies vs GWS Giants Preview
The Pies and the Giants met in a famous Prelim Final three years ago, but their most recent encounter was rather one-sided.
Collingwood walked away comfortable 30-point winners at the MCG last April, and it’s no surprise to find Craig McRae’s side favoured by over two goals returning from the bye.
The Pies ran out 26-point winners over reigning premiers Melbourne a fortnight ago, extending their winning streak to four in a row following two impressive wins over finals contenders Fremantle and Carlton.
Collingwood’s pressure has been a big reason for their midseason turnaround, but they do face an uncertain time moving forward with Jordan deGoey, Jack Ginnivan, and Issac Quaynor in the midst of some off-field trouble.
The Giants put up a brave fight in one of the games of the season last week against the Bulldogs, one Luke Beveridge probably like to have back.
Star forward Toby Greene kicked a career-high seven goals, but defensively, the Giants let themselves down as Cody Weightman and Aaron Naughton enjoyed a big day in front of the sticks.
Collingwood’s forward line will miss deGoey and Ginnivan, but there’s still enough talent to get the job done.
