North Melbourne – $3.10
Prediction
The Kangaroos have disappointed us this season when tipping them, but it is hard to get excited about the Magpies for this clash. The Roos won last years encounter by 44 Points and were pretty good against a fancied Lions outfit in Round 12.
Both sides have struggled to put points on the board this season, and the addition of Jordan Roughead to the Collingwood defence will make it tougher for the Kangaroos. If the Pies can use their strength which is their midfield, they should win this clash. Going to stick with the Pies because they are the better side and need the win to put pressure on a final eight finish.
Our Pick – Collingwood (Win)
Player Prop – Shaun Atley + 59.5 Fantasy Points
Has been ok over the last couple of week and averaged 70 Points from the backline. Collingwood gives up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing backs this year, and he should get some cheap disposals on the back half to pad those stats.
