Carlton vs Collingwood Preview
Carlton faces a towering challenge as it confronts fierce rival Collingwood under the Friday night lights at the MCG. The Blues are reeling after consecutive heavy losses, including a demoralising 50-point defeat to Port Adelaide that left questions over their resolve and finals hopes.
In stark contrast, the Magpies are in full flight, sitting atop the ladder on the back of a seven-game winning streak. Their latest triumph came in a 29-point win over West Coast, where Nick Daicos was again instrumental with 34 touches, nearly 700 metres gained, and a goal.
Collingwood has dominated recent meetings, winning six of the last seven against Carlton, including a gritty 17-point win earlier this year in wet conditions. With momentum on their side and the Blues on the ropes, the Pies will enter favourites—though rivalry clashes often have a way of defying form lines.
