Preview:
Good teams know how to win close games, and even if it was against Carlton, Collingwood’s class was on full display last week during their 19-point victory over the Blues.
Collingwood found themselves on the ropes at three-quarter time trailing by a goal but exploded with five unanswered goals of their own in the final six minutes to leave with a win.
St. Kilda’s comeback attempts fell short against the Eagles at home, losing by 18-points in another lackluster effort. The Saints have now lost three straight games to slump to 12th on the ladder, and as the odds suggest, they are in for a tough time this week against the premiership favourites.
Nathan Buckley’s side has won three of their last five meetings against the Saints, and with a 9-3 record as the home favourite, Collingwood should win this one easily. The Saints are allowing an average of nine goals a game, and considering the Pies will likely look to make a statement for last week’s ho-hum performance, you can expect this one to get out of hand.
