Collingwood Magpies vs Geelong Cats Preview

Collingwood and Geelong will clash in a highly anticipated fixture at the MCG on Saturday night, with both teams in contrasting form. The Magpies are on a roll, extending their winning streak to six matches with a dominant 107-66 victory over Essendon on ANZAC Day. Steele Sidebottom was instrumental in that performance, racking up 35 disposals, 598 metres gained, and 15 clearances, while Jamie Elliott booted five goals. Sidebottom’s form is remarkable, having recorded 26+ disposals in three straight matches for the first time since 2020. Geelong, on the other hand, suffered a setback last week, falling 94-76 to Carlton to end a three-match winning streak. However, they have a strong recent record against the Magpies, winning five of the last seven meetings, including a 91-71 victory at the ‘G last season. Gryan Miers, who missed last week’s loss due to concussion, could be a key inclusion for the Cats.
