Collingwood have been tipped to bounce back and enter the finals in some form, priced at $1.17 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to beat Essendon in the final round of the season.

Essendon have been priced as $5.00 long shots while Hawthorn will start as $1.25 favourites in the match of the round against the West Coast Eagles ($3.95).

“Collingwood still have much to play for in terms of trying to secure a top 4 spot, and given Essendon have no chance of making the finals, the market suggests it will be one way traffic,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
