Collingwood vs Brisbane Lions Preview
Collingwood and Brisbane square off under the lights at the MCG on Saturday night in a blockbuster with huge top-two ramifications. The Magpies enter full of confidence after a commanding 93-57 victory over Richmond, inspired by a Nick Daicos masterclass. The midfield ace piled up 42 disposals, three goals and 910 metres gained—easily the most dominant individual display of the season so far.
That performance capped a powerful run for Collingwood, who earlier this year humbled the Lions by 52 points at the Gabba in Round 7. But Brisbane has since rediscovered its edge in Victoria, stringing together seven consecutive wins in the state—a streak they’ll be desperate to keep alive.
The Lions also have redemption on their minds after last week’s humbling QClash defeat to Gold Coast. With finals looming, both sides will be desperate to fine-tune their game, and this clash looms as one of the fiercest contests of the season.
