Collingwood head to Optus Stadium on Sunday afternoon with a heavily depleted side, which makes the Eagles worth taking with the start.
Best Bet
The Eagles are worth backing with the points here.
West Coast pushed Collingwood earlier in the year, and the Magpies arrive west without five of their better players.
Jordan De Goey and Scott Pendlebury both miss with injury, joined by Jeremy Howe, Harry Perryman and Pat Lipinski. Key defender Noah Howes comes in for his AFL debut, which leaves a young and inexperienced side making the longest trip in the competition. Both teams have 10 players who have played 50 games or fewer.
Liam Baker returns for the Eagles after missing last week with calf tightness, with John Lindsay and Tom Gross also recalled.
The Eagles have been a good bet at home this season, covering the line in 7 of 11. Excluding games against top six teams, they are 4-1 against the line with each game decided by fewer than 11 points.
Take the start.
Same Game Multi
Collingwood are a good match-up for half-backs and Marcus Herbert has racked up 70 touches across the last two games.
Harley Reid has had 30 and 34 in his last two.
Josh Daicos should get more midfield time with the Magpies short on numbers, and he is coming off 33 disposals.
Value Bet
A great bet at this price.
Herbert has posted 36 and 34 in his last two games and Collingwood have been the best match-up for half-backs in the competition this season.
