Collingwood vs Brisbane Lions Preview

Collingwood and Brisbane collide at the MCG on Saturday night in a clash with major top-two implications. The Magpies are riding high after a commanding 93-57 win over Richmond, led by a masterclass from Nick Daicos. The midfield star delivered 42 disposals, three goals and 910 metres gained—marking the highest-rated individual performance of the season.

It continues a dominant patch for the Pies, who also dismantled Brisbane by 52 points earlier this year at the Gabba. That Round 7 win was a rare stumble for the Lions in Victoria, where they’ve since reeled off seven straight wins in the state—an impressive streak they’ll be desperate to extend.

Brisbane will also be out to atone for last week’s QClash embarrassment, having been soundly beaten by Gold Coast. With September just around the corner, both clubs will be eager to sharpen up—and few matchups promise more intensity than this one.
