Best Bet

Melbourne +21.5
Line

This is a nasty match-up for the struggling Magpies.

Collingwood have now dropped five of their last six, with their only win in that stretch coming against the lowly Tigers. The underdog has covered in all six.

Their turnover game has completely fallen apart. After sitting top four for scores from turnover across the first two-thirds of the season, the Pies rank 16th in the same category over the last five games. Melbourne sit fifth.

The Dees were stifled last week by a defensively strong Hawthorn, but their form prior to that was sound. They smashed the Eagles and Roos and lost to the Dogs, Saints, Blues and Crows by an average margin of just 5.75 points. These teams also met on King’s Birthday, with the margin only three points.

Melbourne’s new interim coach has introduced a more attacking style, which could further expose Collingwood’s fragile backline. The Dees are averaging 99 points per game over the last five, ranked fifth, while the Pies only average 65, ranked equal fourth-worst.

Back the Dees to stay within 20 points.


Same Game Multi

Melbourne +21.5, J.Daicos & C.Oliver 25+ Disposals, H.Petty Anytime Goal

Josh Daicos has had 30+ touches in three straight against Melbourne, while Clayton Oliver has had 25+ in 10 straight against the Pies.

Harry Petty has kicked a goal in six straight at the MCG. He could take advantage of Collingwood’s battling key backs.


Value Bet

Melbourne 1-39
Margin

This is a big price to find out whether the Pies are truly cooked in 2025. The Pies, formerly the kings of the close finish, have also lost three straight games decided by 12 points or fewer.
