Collingwood Magpies vs Adelaide Crows Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: AFL Round 10 2024
The Collingwood Magpies have made a tremendous comeback this season, going from a string of losses to four wins and a draw in their last five games. This weekend, they’ll be looking to continue their ascent by defeating the Adelaide Crows at the MCG.
The Magpies started the season poorly, losing their first three games. Things looked bleak for the premiership defenders, but they were quick to turn their fortunes around.
Despite being ranked ninth on the ladder, Collingwood's form is fantastic. The only blemish in their last six games is their ANZAC day match against the No. 3-ranked Essendon Bombers, which ended in a draw. Note that three of the clubs they’ve played against recently are ranked in the top eight on the AFL Ladder.
While the Adelaide Crows don’t have the encouraging form that Collingwood does, they’ve still put up great performances in recent matches. Their last five games against Collingwood have been exciting from start to finish, with the Magpies securing four close wins and one dominant victory.
This time around, it won’t be close. We expect the Magpies to deliver a masterclass and prove that they belong in the top eight.
