MY THOUGHTS;
As long as the weather holds off, we should do the "business" here today and just dispose of Melbourne like all sides have been recently. The loss of both Sylvia and McDonald outweighs any losses we had, as they lack the depth, especially through the middle, that the pies possess.
Melbourne have started badly lately, so expect them to be fired up early, but in a similar vein to last week, the second and third terms should be where we "make our move" here.
Would be surprised if there were any late changes here, although rumours still persist about Jones' hamstring.
Collingwood has to be efficient once inside 50, because while we will get plenty of chances, turnovers, even inside your own attacking 50, hurt against quicker sides like Melbourne.
MY TIP;
Pies to prevail though, just through talent and perseverance, although in a closer game then what some may expect.
COLLINGWOOD BY 22 POINTS.
