Collingwood Magpies vs Carlton Blues Preview

Carlton’s rough start to 2025 continues, as they aim to avoid further embarrassment when they face off against Collingwood at the MCG on Thursday night. The Blues’ third consecutive loss, an 83-75 defeat to the Bulldogs, saw them squander another half-time lead, leaving them 0-3 for the first time since 2019. The pressure is mounting on coach Michael Voss. Meanwhile, Collingwood comes into the clash off a bye, with their most recent outing a narrow 76-70 win over the Bulldogs. Last year, the two sides produced two thrilling encounters, with the Magpies emerging victorious both times. Nick Daicos played a pivotal role in both, averaging 30 disposals, 548.5 metres gained, and 15 contested possessions. Carlton will need to find a way to stop Daicos and turn their form around if they are to avoid a fourth straight defeat.
