What our experts say:
Daniel Paproth
Collingwood vs. Gold Coast:
Six on the trot now and Collingwood are firmly back in everyone’s sights. Most betting agencies have them equal or outright favourites for the flag, and while they aren’t playing the unstoppable football they once did, they are building ominously.
For the still winless Gold Coast, it’s nervous times. They’re desperate for their first win of the season but it certainly won’t come this week. Their biggest problem this season has been a lack of four-quarter performances. They aren’t running games out.
This weekend marks the beginning of a laid-back few weeks for the Magpies. They play Melbourne in the Queens Birthday clash next week, before a week off, and then it’s back to the big time against West Coast. Heading into the break 9-2, after starting 1-2, is a huge win.

Collingwood ($1.01) vs. Gold Coast ($17):
The Pies just win this one. With only the Suns and Demons between them and the bye there is a small chance they may take the foot off the pedal too early. Yet, their team is somewhat unsettled and I suspect quite a number of them will be playing for a regular spot in the team, which should bring with it the right attitude. The Suns seem to have suffered considerably from their defeat at the hands of the Giants, having since lost to the Dogs (6 goals) and Power (8 goals). I don’t give them any hope here.
Suggested bet: Pendlebury to gather the most possessions (no market yet)
