All the ins and outs for Collingwood’s clash with Brisbane on the last Saturday in September, plus our experts’ tips for the game and who will win the Norm Smith Medal.
The Magpies could, and maybe should, have lost both their finals this year, but instead found a way to win both times. That’s been a trend in the Craig McRae era, and they are due to produce a really strong performance.Last time they played in Melbourne it was at Marvel Stadium and Collingwood lost by four goals without Darcy Moore, Nick Daicos, Jordan De Goey or Bobby Hill. On MCG with those four in the team, the Pies get up.
The loss of Dan McStay and potential use of Billy Frampton highlight Collingwood’s structural issue up forward, compared with the settled Lions, who have more firepower and improved grunt. It will be enough to overcome their MCG bogey.
