The prediction

Ladder-leading Collingwood, the competition's undisputed benchmark, takes on the embattled West Coast Eagles in a match where the only real question is not who will win, but by what margin

Collingwood (1st) continued its dominant season in Round 15 with a professional 34-point victory over St Kilda (108-74). The win marked the Magpies' sixth in a row and solidified their commanding position at the top of the ladder.

The West Coast Eagles (18th) are coming off a bye in Round 15. In their last outing in Round 14, they suffered a 34-point loss to Carlton and remain anchored to the bottom of the ladder.

Collingwood ruckman Darcy Cameron is in career-best form and was dominant against St Kilda. He earned best-on-ground honours with a complete performance that included 19 disposals, 8 marks and 2 goals.

For the Eagles, Tom McCarthy was a standout in the loss to Carlton in Round 14, finishing with 31 disposals.

Collingwood dismantled West Coast by a convincing 66 points (103-37) when the two sides last met in Round 9 of the 2024 season.

This is the biggest mismatch of the round. While Collingwood may look to manage their players ahead of September, their sheer class and professionalism should see them cruise to a thumping victory against the struggling Eagles.

Collingwood vs West Coast tip: Collingwood to win by 40+ points
