COLLINGWOOD v ADELAIDE
Saturday 18 May @ MCG
Strange to say but 8th against 12th looks to be a very watchable game if they both show their best.
Last Sunday Collingwood did a job on West Coast when it might have been a stumble and Adelaide played in a cracking draw.
Hoping they turn it on at the MCG. We remember last year and a rather controversial finish with a Jordan Dawson high tackle not paid.
Things could have gone pear-shaped with most of the Pies forward set up on the sidelines. Yet they managed 15 goals. They just don't need any more bad injuries.
Adelaide is more than capable of kicking a score but kicking straight is often a quandary. They didn't do a lot wrong as the Brisbane game swung back and forth.
Soligo once again showed his ability in the middle and Rankine up front will pose major problems for the Pies.
| Match | Collingwood | Adelaide | Ground |
| Last time they met | 12.10 [82] | 11.14 [80] | MCG |
| Last 10 matches | 8 wins | 1 win | 1 draw |
| Notes | 4 of the last 5 games decided by 5 points or less | ||
| Overall Collingwood dominate 33/1/15 | |||
This is ripe for an upset. Adelaide is on the rise and Collingwood are not yet firing on all cylinders. Just put someone on Nick Daicos and pray for the best.
Magpies to win but it might end up a kick in it once more. Take the start.
Match Selection: Collingwood by 6 points
Suggested Bets: Adelaide +19.5 @ 1.91 @ bet365
