Geelong Cats vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
Things are just coming up Milhouse down at Kardinia Park.
The too-old, too-slow Cats won the flag without a care in the world and had a glorious off-season basking in premiership glory and loving every minute of it.
Collingwood had all the luck in the world last season, winning games by under a kick every single week and having people like them.
Ten of the Magpies last 12 matches were decided by 15 points or less towards last season. Collingwood won nine games by single digits – and 11 by less than 12 points, with two out their three finals going the other way and decided by less than a kick.
Will we have another thriller on Friday night between these two sides?
When they met in last year’s Qualifying Final, the Cats won a thriller thanks to a late Max Holmes goal by six points in one of the games of season 2022.
While the general footy fan would love the Cats and Pies to go hammer and tongs, what’s in it for the Punter.
You’d expect Geelong to keep on its winning streak of 16 (including the flag) and they just know how to get the job done.
I’m backing the Cats to win a close one.
