North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
This is far from the most exciting game on paper, but the importance of it cannot be overstated.
Another loss this week would only add further fuel to Collingwood’s burning fire following last Saturday’s blowout loss to the Suns at home.
North, meanwhile, will be looking to build on last week’s strong performance against the Demons that saw them lead by 19 points at half time.
It will be interesting to see what Nathan Buckley does from a list perspective, but either way, Collingwood is still being massively overvalued as the -22.5 point favourites.
Despite remaining winless, North has played some inspired football of late against two flag contenders in Geelong and Melbourne over the last three weeks, while it’s become blatantly obvious that Collingwood’s issues stretch far beyond their injury concerns.
With the locker room in chaos and distractions happening off the field, North keeping this close seems incredibly likely.
