Two old foes vying to keep within touching distance of the top eight meet at the MCG as Collingwood bid for a third victory in a row against the up-and-down Hawthorn. Join The Roar for live scores and rolling coverage from 2:10pm (AEST).

Hawthorn head to the MCG this afternoon having lost five of their last six games and Collingwood have won two in a row against quality opponents. The Hawks have been extremely dominant in this match-up in recent years, but they come into this one as the underdogs based on recent form.

The Hawks were beaten in every aspect of the game last weekend against an emerging Suns outfit. The midfield struggled to deliver the ball into the forward line and their defence was no match for the Suns’ combination of small and tall forwards.

Tom Mitchell had a dominant outing with 29 touches for the night but the lack of a recognised ruck was ultimately what led to the Hawks being inefficient with ball in hand. Ned Reeves will be a welcome addition back into the side for Sam Mitchell as Darcy Cameron is proving to be an effective replacement for Brodie Grundy in the ruck at Collingwood.

Jaeger O’Meara’s return will also be a handy boost to their midfield as he and Mitchell look to re-spark their dominance as one of the AFL’s best midfield pairings when they are firing on all cylinders.

Collingwood are coming off a win that was arguably the match of the season so far, beating the red-hot Blues at the MCG on Sunday afternoon. They were able to hold off a resurgent Carlton side who kicked the last three goals of the game to ultimately come away with a four-point win.

Despite the Blues having the majority of the ball in the midfield, Jack Crisp was able to continue his new role in the centre with 27 touches to lead Collingwood through the middle of the ground.

Scott Pendlebury and Steele Sidebottom will equal the record this week for most games as teammates this afternoon. It will be interesting to see how the Hawks handle these two legends of the game in their new positions up forward and in defence, respectively. The Pies will also have the upper hand in the ruck this afternoon, with Cameron in great form and Mason Cox backing up after a great showing last week against Carlton.

Prediction

I am tipping Collingwood to continue their good patch of form with a 12-point win this afternoon.
