Collingwood Magpies vs Fremantle Dockers Prediction: Incredible Magpies can not forfeit top spot

In the AFL matchup for round 18, the top-table Collingwood Magpies will take on Fremantle Dockers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The Magpies were victorious on the road against the Western Bulldogs in their most recent match, while the Dockers suffered a defeat at home at the hands of the Carlton Blues.

Collingwood Magpies - must keep winning run intact

The most recent match for the Collingwood Magpies was a road victory over the Western Bulldogs, which they took by a score of 89-77. This victory extended their winning streak to three games in a row. Collingwood has made it a point this season not to allow one loss to snowball into another, and they continued to build momentum toward their goal of winning the tournament by notching their third victory in a row by beating the Western Bulldogs. Their victory over the Dogs was their 14th of the season, both at home and on the road, and it propels them to the top of the table, where they are tied with Port Adelaide on 56 points each. The Collingwood Magpies are aware that even though they have had an outstanding season thus far, they cannot afford to suffer a loss because they know it will almost certainly cause them to lose their position as leaders in what is shaping out to be an extremely close fight at the top. After dealing with knee and shoulder injuries, respectively, Steele Sidebottom and Brayden Maynard should be able to return to action for Collingwood. Dan McStay will be able to participate in the game; however, Brody Mihocek will continue to sit out due to a hamstring ailment for another week.

Fremantle Dockers - another tough test for the Dockers

The Fremantle Dockers have now lost two games in a row after their opponent, the Carlton Blues, defeated them by a score of 98-45. This season, the Fremantle Dockers have had a lot of trouble maintaining any sort of continuity, as they have all too frequently gone from winning to losing. In fact, their most recent victory came after a string of four losses, and they are currently in the midst of a two-game losing streak after suffering defeat at the hands of the Western Bulldogs and the Carlton Blues. If the Dockers are able to pull off the victory, then it will go down as one of the most significant results of the year. However, with only two victories in seven games played away from home, it appears that this will not be possible. Caleb Serong is not available to play for the Dockers because he received a suspension for a reckless tackle the previous week.

However, taking a detailed look at the match in order to make an appropriate decision that will earn a significant amount of money is far more beneficial. Despite the fact that the Fremantle Dockers have had a lot of trouble in their most recent matches, I have no doubt that they will show some grit when they play a team like the Magpies. However, given that the Magpies team possesses a huge defensive and offensive caliber squad and that this side will want to keep their top rank, this match is anticipated to be a walk in the park for the Collingwood Magpies. In this match, I anticipate a significant amount of points being scored by the Magpies while the Fremantle Dockers' offensive is held to a minimum.
