Monday Afternoon: Melbourne Demons vs. Collingwood Magpies



Dark Days for Demons

5.9.39 to 17.20.122. for Melbourne an 83 point beating is an improvement. The Demons were even competitive against the Magpies (1.5.11 to 1.6.12) for the first quarter before Collingwood really had won the game at halftime with a 40 point lead. Melbourne were never going to come back from that. If they really wanted to, Collingwood could not have scored at all in the third and fourth quarters and still won the game. 
Still 83 points is an improvement but I doubt it’s enough to save Mark Neeld as coach.

I’m not going to bother with best on ground for Collingwood because all their players were pretty consistent.

Collingwood travel, what is essentially down the road for them, to Etihad Stadium to play the Bulldogs which is beyond a certainty for them to win. Melbourne have a bye in which the team will prepare for Saint Kilda while the board will probably decide on who the new Coach will be.

My tips: 6 from 6 (from all 11 rounds) 67 (70% correct)
