Preview:
Nathan Buckley posed a question to his side following a close shave against Carlton, and as expected, the Pies responded with a convincing 41-point win over St. Kilda.
Collingwood never really looked threatened despite leading by only two goals at half time. The Pies raced away to boot six in the final term, extending their winning streak to six ahead of Friday nights trip to the SCG.
Sydney have also gone on a run of late stringing together a pair of wins to improve to 14th on the ladder. Last week’s five-point win over North Melbourne in Tasmania got the job done, but there’s still plenty to be desired from John Longmire’s side.
These two played only once last year, and just like last week, it was another close call for the Swans. Sydney survived by two-points at home to the Pies, largely due to a whopping six-goal bag from Buddy Franklin.
The superstar forward is set to miss his fifth-straight game this weekend with a hamstring injury, but that’s not the only reason the Swans find themselves as serious outsiders at home.
Sydney are currently 3-4 straight-up as the home favourite over the last 12 months, while their 4-4 record as the home favourite against Collingwood isn’t quite so convincing either.
The Pies have been unlucky with injuries in recent weeks, but the good news is Mason Cox is ready to return on Friday. Having to choose between the likes of Cox, Ben Reid and Brody Mihocek is a good problem to have if you’re Buckley, and one that should see the Pies win easily.
