It’s been an up and down month of results for Collingwood and their overall record of 4-3, sees them sitting in eighth spot on the ladder.
Last week they travelled to Perth to take on the Dockers but were blown off the part early by their opponents who raced to a five goal lead at quarter time.
The Pies rallied in the second half and hit the lead at the start of the final quarter but had nothing left late and Dockers recorded a 27 points win in the end.
Things obviously do not get easier for Collingwood this week as they take on the undefeated Cats.
Geelong are in impeccable form and have accounted for Hawthorn, Sydney and Essendon thus far this season.
Despite being slow out of the block in each game, you know Geelong are going to build and be in a position come the back of the game, to win the match. Expect they’ll have too many guns for Collingwood.
