The prediction

Collingwood sit eighth in the AFL ladder. The Victorians come into this one on the back of a dramatic tie against a strong Hawthorn side in their most recent outing. That means they have now suffered just one defeat in their last nine matches.

Defending champions the Brisbane Lions are finishing the regular season with a bit of a flourish as the Queenslanders come into this one on the back of a 42-point hammering of the Gold Coast SUNS, making it nine victories in their last ten games.

Brisbane will be expected to continue to finish with a flourish as they seek to make a statement ahead of the play-offs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
