Collingwood Magpies vs West Coast Eagles Preview
The Pies are officially back in the finals picture and with a win against the Eagles, they suddenly sneak back up on the top four.
The Eagles are competitive again, and whilst it can change in an instant, its a lot more desirable to watch.
Nick Daicos magic got the job done late for the Pies, but before that, it was their ability to shut down the Blues transition and pounce with the speed that got the job done in crucial moments.
The Eagles were valiant against the Bombers, and if it wasnt for a bit of ill-discipline in the final quarter, they were close to jumping the Dons late.
The Pies had 11 individual goal scorers which is the key to their winning ways, when the midfielders hit the scoreboard.
The Eagles are finding their groove offensively, and their transition game is giving their athletic forwards a chance to create space and get shots on goal.
Uncontested footy is where the Pies will thrive, trying to break the Eagles with pressure and push the ball forward with movement inside the corridor and out wide inside 50.
The Eagles must lift their tackle pressure, sitting second last in the competition, whilst the Pies sit first.
A focus on contested footy will give the Eagles a chance to stay competitive, but theyre coming up against one of the hardest road trips in footy.
