The Magpies’ hopes for finals have nearly faded after their crushing loss to the ladder-leading Sydney Swans in their last outing.
Craig Macrae’s team held a 27-point lead with just 10 minutes to go, underscoring how winning close games like that can be pivotal for securing a premiership, as it was in their title-winning campaign last year.
Interestingly, this weekend’s clash is a rematch of the 2023 Grand Final. Collingwood has already won a Grand Final rematch this season, pulling off a 20-point upset on the road in Round 3. However, both teams have evolved since the start of the season, especially the Lions
Chris Fagan’s squad has turned things around dramatically, winning nine of their last 10 games to transform a 2-5 start into a shot at the minor premiership. That momentum was recently halted by a hungry GWS Giants team, putting their top spot ambitions on hold.
Despite the setback, the Lions enter this match as favorites and will be eager to avenge their previous loss to Collingwood at this venue. A win would give them a psychological boost heading into the finals, especially against the team that denied them the flag in 2023.
Moreover, their top-four spot is not yet secure, with crucial games against Collingwood and Essendon to close out the season. These matches are must-wins if they want to secure the coveted double chance in the finals.
