Digby Beacham’s AFL Preview: Round 22

Posted on | Posted by Digby Beacham

THURSDAY

Hawthorn v Collingwood, MCG, 5.30pm

Is this the feedback Collingwood needed to have entering September or are three losses in their past four outings an indication of a decline that should have coach Craig McRae and his players on red alert?

We will know much more at the completion of this match, a contest many expect the Magpies to hit back hard in. Their intent at selection was profound, recalling important defensive duo Jeremy Howe and Billy Frampton, alongside Tom Mitchell.

Hawthorn have caused Collingwood problems in recent meetings, albeit they were obliterated by the Magpies earlier this season. Sam Mitchell, a lateral thinker in the box, will have gone to work on that performance. Expect something different this evening.

VERDICT: Collingwood to win

Same Game Multi: Karl Amon, Jarman Impey and Scott Pendlebury to have 20+ disposals and Jamie Elliott and Jack Ginnivan to kick 1+ goals @ $3.45*

*Odds correct at the time of publication.
