Melbourne Demons vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
The annual big freeze game being played in Sydney will feel a bit weird, but hopefully the good folk of the Harbour City do it justice.
Make no mistake, the top of the ladder Demons are real and they are spectacular..
They proved it last week in their comeback win over the Brisbane Lions (Proudly sponsored by Neds) and are currently $4.50 flag favorites.
Collingwood can also breathe a sigh of relief, given yet another game under not pedantic at all and certainly not over-the-top quarantine conditions from a state government, and they are a Jamie Elliott-inspired Magpie outfit won a thriller against the Crows.
Based on form, you’d expect Melbourne to be thrashing the Pies in this contest, however, Collingwood will be finding a way to slow the game down ensuring as few scoring opportunities as possible.
It could turn out to be a really shocking keepings-off, high-possession type match to watch.
How fitting that style of play would be for Nathan Buckley’s last game as coach of the Magpies.
While you’d love to back the Demons 40+, I reckon to back the under outright is just as good a bet when Collingwood is playing.
