Collingwood v Western Bulldogs Preview, Marvel Stadium

Injuries are starting to rack up for Collingwood, but the premiers came away with their
second draw of the season when they faced Fremantle last Friday night. The Magpies
probably should have taken all four points considering they led by four goals with seven
minutes remaining. But Collingwood are looking more like the 2023 version than the team
that stumbled out of the blocks by going 0-3. Collingwood star Jordan De Goey will miss up
to another month of football and Mason Cox is out for at least six weeks. But the Magpies
look set to recall versatile tall Jeremy Howe (groin) and Jack Bytel (concussion). The
Bulldogs were brave against ladder-leaders Sydney but seem a way off the AFL’s very best
teams.

TIP: Collingwood by 14 points, Nick Daicos to have 30 or more possessions
