Collingwood v Richmond previewLachlan Geleit

29 March 2023What a blockbuster this game is.
Perhaps the competition’s two biggest clubs under lights at the MCG on a Friday night, with both rivals yet to cop a loss this season.
While both teams are technically unbeaten, the Tigers split the points with Carlton and had to fight to hold the Crows off in Adelaide.
On the other side of Melbourne Park, Collingwood have quickly become the AFL’s hottest team with scintillating wins over Geelong and Port Adelaide to rocket into premiership favouritism.
While last year Tom Lynch and the Tigers got a hold of the Magpies, Collingwood deserve to enter this game as favourites given their early season form and they’ll say they’re a drastically different team to Round 8, 2022.
With several injury concerns at Punt Road and Craig McRae’s side clearly firing on all cylinders, Collingwood should be too strong for Richmond if they’re able to get their game going as they have in the season’s opening fortnight.
Tip: Collingwood by 20 points.
