Football’s biggest rivalry takes place on Saturday night with Collingwood and Carlton locking horns at the MCG in a game that has massive implications on the lower half of the Top 10. Collingwood sit 9th and have won 4 consecutive games since the bye. Carlton’s 7 game winning streak came to an end last week against the 3rd placed Hawks. These games are traditionally decided in the final quarter but the Pies have won 8 of the last 9. You’d have to have more faith in the Pies despite their growing injury list.
Both sides have made multiple changes. Collingwood lose both Jeremy Howe and Lachie Schultz from their forward line and have omitted Jack Buller. Isaac Quaynor, Harvey Harrison and Charlie West all return. Carlton have swung the axe dropping Ollie Hollands, Flynn Riley and Jack Ison. Blake Acres, Liam Reddy and Cooper Lord come in.
