Best Bet

Hawthorn -21.5
Line
Bet Now
$1.90

The Hawks own this match-up and are in superb form right now.

Hawthorn have won and covered in 11 of their last 16 games against Collingwood, winning by an average of 31 points. They arrive having won six straight including a win over the white-hot Swans, and they regain James Sicily and another Dylan Moore from suspension this week.

Collingwood get Darcy Moore back but Scott Pendlebury is rested after his best-on-ground Anzac Day performance. The Pies have handled lesser teams reasonably well this year but were well beaten by Brisbane early in the season.

Their most notable result against quality opposition was a bizarre 45-39 win over Fremantle during Gather Round, but it’s hard to take much from that performance.

Back the Hawks to keep firing.

Defensive distributors fill up against Collingwood so Amon, Sicily, Impey and Battle are targets here. Karl Amon takes the majority of kick-outs while James Impey operates in a largely unaccountable role across half-back. Both had 25 disposals last time these teams met.

Ginnivan loves playing his old team, recording 26, 31 and 31 in his last three games against the Pies. He also had 28 three weeks ago against the Bulldogs. This is a good price to see if he can pig out again.
