Melbourne Demons vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
Another week, another Collingwood win by under two kicks with a controversial call on a Jack Ginnivan free kick for good measure.
The Magpies have won 10 in a row, and sit third on the ladder but surely they are due for a loss?
Friday nights clash against the Demons should be a beauty.
Melbourne looked back to their dominant best against Freo last week, and after the odd blip here and there in the middle part of the season look set to finish strong in a quest for back-to-back premierships.
When these two last met on the Queens’ birthday, Collingwood produced a memorable 26-point win, coming back from 20 points down in the third quarter kicking seven of the last eight goals to win their fourth straight as part of this magical winning streak.
It’s tempting to take Collingwood 1-39, and I wouldn’t rule out a thriller, however, if one team is to pip the Pies winning streak – it’s going to be the Demons.
