Collingwood Magpies vs Carlton Blues Preview
Traditional rivals Carlton and Collingwood do battle on Sunday afternoon at the home of football and this shapes as a cracker of a contest between 13th and 15th.
Carlton put together back to back wins against Adelaide and Fremantle before wayward kicking put their chances to bed against Geelong on the weekend.
Collingwood comes into this clash off the back of a come from behind win against Richmond and it is easy to see a change of tactics already from new coach Robert Harvey.
He has implored his players to show their footballing personalities and to take the game on and it has had an immediate impact on their game style and ball movement.
This game will be won by the team that can take their chances when going into their forward 50 and in lieu of a tip I will be tipping a tight one.
