Collingwood Magpies vs Western Bulldogs Preview
Collingwood find themselves just outside the top 8 through eight rounds with a record of 4-4.
Despite being well beaten in the ruck (49-16 hit outs) against Richmond, they had more centre clearances and had just two less shots on goal.
The game was littered with turnovers with a combined 151 between both teams.
This is something they will need to improve on because the Western Bulldogs will hurt them if they continually turn the football over.
Despite wallowing in 10th position the Western Bulldogs statistically don’t look too bad.
They average 20.4 shots on goal (6th), have the least amount of clangers in the competition and the 7th most inside 50s.
It is my belief that only one of these two teams will play finals football in 2022 and this is a crucial clash to decide who.
I’m going to be an absolute coward and sit on the fence with my bet but I think it is the best play.
