Preview:

Four straight losses has Alastair Clarkson reflecting on what looks to be a lost season following last week’s agonizing six-point defeat to West Coast at the MCG.

Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley is also asking questions of his side following a flat and uninspiring performance against North Melbourne.

The Pies lost by 44-points in a low-scoring game, a result that leaves Collingwood eight points shy of the ladder leading Cats.

Fireworks normally fly whenever Hawthorn and Collingwood get together, and while the Hawks look a shell of their former selves, the brown and gold still have plenty to feel confident about after thumping the Pies by 20+ points in their last two meetings.

Collingwood’s woes last week can be chalked up to a variety of factors. Losing Ben Reid in the opening quarter didn’t help, while the Pies also failed to respond to North’s no-nonsense pressure losing the disposal and inside 50 counts by a wide margin.

The Hawks weren’t disgraced in their loss to the Eagles, but they were on the scoreboard. It’s tough to win games of footy when you boot 17 behinds. Hawthorn’s decision to switch into game-saving mode with four minutes on the clock was also a questionable strategy against the reigning premiers.

Collingwood holds a perfect 3-0 record on the heels of a previous loss, so they deserve the benefit of the doubt this week. The Pies are 2-2 on the Friday night footy stage this year, so look for them to respond.
