Only chink of light I can see is that if the talls can get the ball to the deck, the dees have the small defenders to get the ball out of dodge while the tall WC forwards keep ambling around - yes I know they aren't complete Travis Clokes on defensive pressure, but they are still slow in relative terms.
But if they exploit one of the dees weaknesses - giving up forward 50 contested marks - they will have a field day.

I liked this bit best
"Ominously, the dynamic duo has also won their past seven games together at Optus Stadium, contributing 45 goals (Kennedy 25, Darling 20) to an average winning margin of 36 points."

I'm not surprised that the odds haven't moved all week.
WC $1,80 on Monday $1,80 today
Melbourne $2,05 Monday $2,05 today
WC $1,80 on Monday $1,80 today

Collingwood hold onto this one then there is no way the Eagles are winning tomorrow...
Since when is West Coast's fate decided by what happens in the Collingwood/Richmond game?

Crowds do, once upon a time Melbourne was susceptible to the crowd factor, lord knows the umps are, my point is the way Melbourne goes about it, it is much less of a factor, we are a very good travelling side. Never said your midfield is crap, just because I reckon Melbourne has a better midfield. You guys are rightly favourites, just like Richmond...

Sorry West Coast. Melbourne vs Collingwood is too good of a matchup to pass on.

Lol. Sorry Cats supporter but its not up to you. Pies have tried to beat us twice and failed. WC vs Pies would be a great contest.

Can we put aside our differences and agree whoever wins has a moral and ethical duty to absolutely flog the pies, for the greater good and world peace please let it be so

Took them 3 cracks at the Tigers as well.
Either matchup would be great, and regardless I’ll be pulling against the Pies

I know I’m a Melbourne supporter but the storylines in Melbourne v Collingwood would be amazing.
The ancient rivalry.
The cultural duel - the top end of town and the MCC against the working class
The GF record - Melbourne 6-1 Collingwood, but that one Pies win stopped Melbourne and Norm Smith equalling the Pies and Jock McHale
The player (Melbourne) - Sam Weideman, the grandson of Collingwood premiership captain Murray
The player (Collingwood) - Jeremy Howe, who started at the Dees
The heartbreak - Lynden Dunn, who played a ton of games in the dark years for Melbourne, goes to Collingwood and plays amazingly until doing an ACL in the year where he would finally get a shot against his old side
Grundy v Gawn
Two top midfields duelling
And that’s without individual stories like Jones, Cox, Miochek, Jetta just to name a few.
In the modern era it would be incredible.
That said. Rule one all year has been simple. Win Dees.
