Collingwood Magpies vs Carlton Blues Preview
Carlton bring a five game winning streak as they take on the premiership favourites Collingwood at the MCG on Friday night.
Included in this streak is a 50 point win over second placed Port Adelaide, and despite being outscored in the second half, a 71 point win over West Coast last weekend.
But the Blues have plenty of injury concerns.
Harry McKay is out indefinitely but add to that list Jack Silvagni, Sam Walsh and Jesse Motlop.
On the flip side, Collingwood are motoring along with little to no injury concerns and will finish as minor premiers, ready for a crack at another flag.
Nick Daicos is one of the shortest priced Brownlow favourites in recent memory and Jamie Elliott is in white hot form in front of goal.
In front of a raucous and likely sold out crowd, this is one that can not be missed.
Have Carlton been bullying sides below them on the ladder or are they a genuine threat to a top side like Collingwood?
Well, they have failed to cover the line in eight of their last nine games against opponents that were ranked in the top eight at the time.
And the Pies have won their last 15 home games.
This leads to one result.
