My Prediction
Collingwood Magpies by 10If I were a betting man, I'd say this is a no-brainer, but this isn't about me, is it? Let's delve into this, shall we? Collingwood Magpies are up against Carlton Blues. It reminds me a bit of a bar fight between a chihuahua and a rottweiler, but I digress.
First, let's dial it back a bit and revisit history, shall we? The past match-ups between these two have been a bit of a seesaw, to say the least. Collingwood nicked a couple, and as did Carlton. But don't break out the scales of justice just yet, we've seen more decisive victories from the Magpies than the teary-eyed Blues.
Fast forward to the present and take a look at the records. I know, I know, we're only at round 4 of the season, but even the early bird will tell you that a 2-1 record for Collingwood and a 0-3 for Carlton says something. Or my eyesight is failing me, which is also entirely possible.
Recently, the Blues have seen more sorrow than joy. Losses piling up faster than my laundry, while on the other end of the spectrum, the Magpies are flying high with some rather impressive wins.
Pulling the wider lens, let's acknowledge the elephant in the room - current standings: Carlton sit at a lonesome 16th while the Magpies nestle comfortably in 6th. If you reckon this could fully turn any day, I've got a unicorn to sell you.
So, let’s put some numbers to this beating, shall we? Being generous, let’s say 10. A comfortable win, but not a massacre.
