Brisbane Lions vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
There’s still no venue confirmed at time of publish in what is a vitally important game for the Lions.
Brisbane still holds top four aspirations if they win out from here, but they’ll also be eager to hold off the Swans and finish fifth on the table.
Collingwood has little left to play for at this point other than bragging rights over one of their long-term rivals.
The Pies were no match for the runaway Hawks last week in Tassie, while they won’t hold particularly fond memories of the Lions after their one-point loss on the siren back in Round 3.
The jury is still out on whether Brisbane is a genuine premiership contender, but they did look good in their blowout win over Freo last week thanks to a huge four-goal game from Joe Daniher.
Collingwood gave up plenty of goals last week to the Hawks, so there are some danger signs about for the Pies if Brisbane’s forward line turns up to play.
