Best Bet

Collingwood -4.5
Line

The Suns have been an automatic lay against quality opposition.

They’ve covered the line in just five of their last 20 games against top eight sides, losing by an average of 20 points. This year, they’re one from six against the top eight, and that sole cover came in Darwin, where they’ve built a fortress.

Gold Coast have won and covered their last two, but they were against Essendon (13th) and Richmond (17th). Before that, they lost and failed to cover against GWS (8th), Fremantle (9th) and Geelong (4th).

Collingwood are flying. They’ve won eight straight and are now clear premiership favourites.

The numbers are all with them. They’ve covered seven of their last eight interstate night games, four straight on Friday night and three of four against the Suns.

Steele Sidebottom is set to return for the Pies, while Sam Collins and Jack Witts should be back for the Suns.

Gold Coast may sit in the eight, but they’ve shown next to nothing against the competition’s best. Back the Pies to do this comfortably.


Same Game Multi

Collingwood -4.5, J.Daicos & N.Anderson 25+ Disposals, J.Elliott 2+ Goals

Jamie Elliott has kicked 2+ in four straight interstate games. Expect his tremendous season to continue.

Josh Daicos has had 25+ in nine straight on the road.

The Pies don’t tag so the Suns mids should still fill the stat sheet. Noah Anderson has had 25+ in eight of his last nine.


Value Bet

Jamie Elliott
4+ Goals

Not a whole lot of value on offer here but Jamie Elliott has two bags of 4+ in his last five games and booted five in his most recent clash against the Suns.
