We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.

NORTH MELBOURNE v COLLINGWOOD

Saturday 24 May @ Marvel Stadium

While this should spell danger in terms of a competitive game, being 1st against 17th, something says North is slowly improving.

Be good to get as exciting a game as last year, although we could do without the controversy.

North got a deserved win over Richmond coming off the Brisbane draw. Their offence stands up well, being nowhere near the bottom of the ladder. They just have to defend better.

That won't be easy against a Collingwood side though with all their options. But Marvel is such a long way for the Pies to travel!

Match North Melbourne Collingwood Ground
Last time they met     19.4 [118] 18.11 [119] Marvel
Last 10 matches 2 wins 8 wins  
Notes Controversial decision made Collingwood's big 2024 comeback less of the story.
Scoring 118 and losing last year would win an exceptionally high % of games.
What the Magpies will do is have a whole of ground defensive approach.

All areas are prepared to get down and dirty and that pressure can bring any side undone, so one this low surely is easier.

That said last year North should have won by doing exactly that back. They attacked Collingwood and had them on toast until the dramas late.

However the Pies are a better side in 2025. So they win in a reasonably close game.

Match Selection: Collingwood by 21 points

Suggested Bets: Collingwood 1-39 @ $2.15
