Collingwood Magpies vs Melbourne Demons Preview
A game with a great cause, the Big Freeze match at the G has big implications for both sides, who will be looking to erase any memory of Round 12.
The Demons were demolished by the Dockers, lacking any form of inspiration across the ground, and made to look like a training drill inside 50.
Collingwoods injury list continues to grow although they wouldnt be too disappointed with their last outing, having probably been the better team for three out of the four quarters.
Theyre in essence a sleeping giant, but whilst we know their potential is leaps and bounds beyond what were seeing, they sit outside the top eight and need to keep winning to be there when it matters.
Its a rematch of last years Qualifying Final, and we know how tempers flared in that one, we should expect the same again, not mentioning names, but there might be a source of it
How will the Demons respond after last week? It will start in the middle and theyll do their best to get some control early and stop the Pies damage in transition.
Melbourne matches up well with Collingwood as they are well-tuned to spreading on the outside and covering the ground well with their ball movement.
The Pies have stood up in the contest despite their usual talent in the centre stoppage lineups, and behind the Blues, theyre the second-best contested team in the competition.
Melbourne needs to switch on defensively from a midfield perspective, and with no real forward targets, the Pies will look to their midfield talent to hit the scoreboard which they found in the Daicos brothers last week.
A full Collingwood home crowd against a Demons side low on confidence, the Pies will find a way to win.
