GWS GIANTS vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
Omen betters, where art thou?
With Aussie Rules and horse racing sharing a storied history together, Collingwood supporters would have loved the vision of Craig McRae celebrating as Feroce crossed the line first in last Saturdays Australian Guineas.
Part-owning a G1 winner on the eve of the AFL season? Yes, please.
Perhaps even more importantly, Pies fans would have enjoyed every moment of their off-season.
From trading in Dan Houston (Port Adelaide), Harry Perryman (GWS) and Tim Membrey (St Kilda), to their 83-point demolition of Richmond in a practice match, things are looking up for McRaes men for the first time since the 2023 Grand Final.
Despite missing the finals last season, Collingwood will enter its first-round clash against the Giants as $1.68 favourites.
With Nick Daicos ($4.50) leads all comers in Brownlow Medal betting, as he prepares to lead a midfield consisting of Darcy Cameron, Jordan De Goey and Scott Pendlebury.
Giants fans will be licking their lips with the current head-to-head market against a side who couldnt crack the top eight, but will be without Tom Green (calf), Jesse Hogan (thumb) and Jake Riccardi (suspension) on Sunday.
Jake Stringer (Essendon), who will eventually join Hogan, Toby Greene and Aaron Cadman up forward, has also picked up a hamstring injury that has ruled him out of the next two weeks.
While GWS defeated the Pies by 26 points in their sole match-up last season, they werent as injury-riddled as their current list.
