Brisbane Lions vs Collingwood Magpies Preview

Brisbane’s undefeated start to 2025 will face a tough challenge when they host an in-form Collingwood at the Gabba on Thursday night. The Lions proved their resilience during Gather Round, overturning a 39-point deficit to defeat the Bulldogs 118-97, marking their sixth comeback win from a margin of at least 23 points. However, when these sides last met in Round 23, 2024, it was Brisbane that faltered, squandering an 18-point lead with under six minutes remaining at the MCG. Collingwood has won the last three encounters, including a 92-72 victory at the Gabba earlier in 2024. The Magpies are on a four-match winning streak, most recently defeating Sydney 109-78, with Nick Daicos starring with 34 disposals, 15 contested possessions, and nine clearances. This matchup promises to be a thrilling contest between two of the league’s most in-form teams.
