Geelong Cats vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
The MCG will be a sellout on Saturday night for a massive qualifying final between Geelong and Collingwood.
The Cats have been flying in the back half of the year but it doesn’t mean much if they can’t secure a win and a spot in a preliminary final here.
Collingwood are a massive threat too given their remarkable never give up attitude that has seen them steal a handful of games in the back half of the year.
I’m backing the Cats to win here but as a neutral I just hope its a cracking contest.

Geelong have continued to shorten this week and they’ll head into this game as the clear favourites.
