Collingwood Magpies vs Greater Western Sydney Giants Preview
The market tells you just about all you need to know heading into this game.
Collingwood has opened as the short-priced favourite to add to the Giants’ misery despite last week’s heartbreak on the siren against the Lions.
Now sitting 11th on the ladder at 1-2, the Pies know they need to have this one if they hold any hope of joining the back log of teams vying for a spot in the top eight.
Fortunately, Nathan Buckley has a little less to worry about this week with the Giants battered and bruised right across the pitch.
Stephen Coniglio is out for the next two months after injuring his ankle last week in the loss to Melbourne, a tough blow for the club with Phil Davis, Matt de Boer, Harry Perryman and a handful of others also on the sideline.
The Pies, meanwhile, received some good news on the Chris Mayne front with their key midfielder cleared of a broken jaw.
There’s obviously no love lost between these sides after playing out a thrilling Prelim final two years ago, but it’s still tough to see the Giants putting up much of a fight against this hungry Pies outfit.
Injuries aside, Collingwood’s forward line looked lethal at times last week against Brisbane – worrying sign for a Giants team that has allowed the second-most inside 50s in the competition.
