Show Preview
The Collingwood Magpies and the Fremantle Dockers meet in Round 11 AFL action at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 1:45pm (AEST).
The longer the 2019 season runs, the better the chances of the Collingwood Magpies appear after the disappointment of a loss in the 2018 decider to West Coast.
Their run to the ‘grannie’ has been proven to have been no fluke and the squad looks strong across the park. The Magpies are paying with precision, determination and confidence; a dangerous proposition for opposition teams.
Ross Lyon’s Fremantle have been one of the big improvers in season 2019. Sitting just inside the eight after ten rounds, not many thought the men from the west would be as competitive as they have been to this point.
The last gasp win against the Lions last week was representative of their improved fortunes and after three straight losses, it was much needed.
Collingwood have strung seven wins together and not tasted defeat since the 6 April. They will look to expertly use the familiar space of the MCG to dissect the Dockers and claim their ninth win of the season.
Boosting the home sides’ chances are the returns of Travis Varcoe, Darcy Moore and Jordan De Goey. With Adam Treloar dominating between the arcs, the Pies look set to ask the most imposing of questions to the Dockers today.
Lyon has named an unchanged team from the one that grabbed the points against the Lions last weekend. Michael Walters, enjoying a stellar season, and Jesse Hogan will once again be key for Fremantle up front.
With Collingwood sure to score freely, the question will be whether the Dockers can post a winning score on what looks like being a cool but clear afternoon of weather for this match.
Prediction
Looking like potentially the most complete package playing in the AFL at this point in time, Collingwood should have too many guns for the Dockers.
It is a chance for the visitors to make a real statement on the road, yet it is hard to see the purple haze putting enough points on the board to worry Nathan Buckley’s machine.
Collingwood by 6 goals.
