Collingwood Magpies vs Sydney Swans
Last Meeting

(Collingwood by 7 Points)
Last 5 Meetings
Collingwood – 2 Wins
Sydney – 3 Wins
Fact – Single digits have decided the last three clashes between these two sides.
Last Round
The Magpies were disappointing out West against both WA Teams with their last loss being by 12 Points to Fremantle.
The Swans were well beaten by the Saints by 53 Points last Saturday.
A few changes for this match where the Pies have dropped four players who were not performing. Callum Brown, Ben Reid, Jordan Roughead and Trey Ruscoe makes his debut.
For the Swans, they have also made four changes including Ryan Clarke, Nick Blakey and recruit Sam Gray. Lewis Melican, Dylan Stephens, Jackson Thurlow come into the side, and Sam Wicks will make his AFL Debut.
Current Head to Head Odds
Collingwood –$1.31
Sydney – $3.50
Prediction
The Pies would want to avoid losing three on the trot here and need the win to stay in the finals hunt. They need to rectify a few issues from last week and have made some changes to the team for this clash. The Swans will always try, and have goal sneak Tom Papley who somehow keeps them in games with his talent around goals.
The Pies should get some confidence back in this game and need to be a little more aware of defensive pressure for this clash. Brodie Grundy is a significant advantage in the Ruck, and the Pies should be too good.
Our Pick – Collingwood (Win)
Player Prop – Brodie Grundy + 106.5 Fantasy Points
Grundy plays well against the Swans and has an average of 144 Fantasy Points in their last 3 clashes. Should be around this number even if he is below standards out there.
Gold Coast Suns vs St Kilda Saints
Last Meeting
Round 13 2020 Gold Coast 11.10 76 – St Kilda 11.14 80
(St Kilda by 4 Points)
Last 5 Meetings
Gold Coast – 1 Win
St Kilda – 4 Wins
Fact – The Saints have won the past three clashes against the Suns by under 1 Goal.
Last Round
Gold Coast has been excellent this season considering where they were projected to finish, but was outclassed by a talented Giants outfit last week and lost the match by 26 Points.
The Saints were too good for the Swans and managed to pull out a 53 Point Win.
A couple of changes for this clash with the Suns dropping Pearce Hanley and Darcy MacPherson. Sean Lemmens comes into the team and Jeremy Sharp makes his AFL Debut.
For the Saints, Matthew Parker and Shane Savage have been left out of the team and Dean Kent and Ben Long come back in.
Current Head to Head Odds
Gold Coast – $2.60
St Kilda – $1.50
Prediction
The Saints are playing good football at the moment and moving the ball well with some excellent disposal efficiency. The Suns can be dangerous if a side gets complacent, but the Saints have the talent to win the stoppages, and some goals sneaks that are kicking goals this season.
The Saints are the smart tip in this clash.
Our Pick – St Kilda (Win)
Player Prop – Rowan Marshall + 71 .5 Fantasy Points
Will spend a lot of time in the ruck and should get some chances to push forward to kick some goal. Might as well jump on this number while it is still low.
