Preview:

COLLINGWOOD and the Western Bulldogs have gone in different directions since a series of tremendous battles late last decade. The Magpies have managed to stay in premiership contention since the 2011 Grand Final without really threatening, while the Bulldogs have gone into a rebuilding phase. Having said that this game should be tight, as Collingwood have been travelling OK without being brilliant while the Western Bulldogs have been having significant costly lapses. Ryan Griffen will need to lift to match Collingwood’s class and Jordan Roughead has a big task quelling Travis Cloke. Collingwood is working well enough as a team to win, but the game should be tighter than most think.
