Collingwood will chalk up a big win against West Coast in Scott Pendlebury’s record-breaking game, with the man of the moment set to enjoy a huge afternoon at the MCG.
The Magpies champion will play his 433rd career match, going past Brent Harvey as the outright VFL/AFL games record holder in the process.
While the Eagles come in with confidence after registering their third win of the season last weekend against GWS, they face a stiff test in what will be a full and intimidating house in front of the Magpie army at the MCG.
The West Aussies, who failed dramatically to back up after their previous victory by losing to Sydney by 128 points back in Round 4, will find it hard to score against a Collingwood outfit that have generally owned lower-ranked sides in recent times.
The occasion itself should bring the best out of Collingwood, who are likely to come with enormous energy and intensity from the opening bounce. Their pressure game is outstanding and against a younger and less experienced West Coast side, we can expect to see dividends on the scoreboard.
The Eagles were outstanding last week but now head into a vastly different environment against one of the competition’s best pressure sides at a packed MCG, where handling momentum swings and hostile crowd noise becomes a major factor.
The Magpies should have a significant edge around territory and repeat entries. Even in defeat against Sydney, they generated 56 inside 50s and remained highly competitive around clearances.
The Eagles are averaging just 71 points per game this season and while there have been signs of improvement with their pressure and contest work, generating consistent scoring opportunities against elite defensive sides remains a problem. Collingwood’s ability to defend the ground and force turnovers through pressure should gradually wear the Eagles down as the game progresses.
That is where the margin can blow out late. Pendlebury himself shapes as a major factor in the fairytale occasion. The veteran has collected 70 disposals across his past two matches and has kicked three goals in that period. Expect Collingwood to look to get the ball in his hands regularly throughout the day, while his ability to drift forward makes him a genuine chance to hit the scoreboard as well.
- Collingwood have won their past three against the Eagles by an average margin of 53 points.
- Prior to losing to Sydney last weekend, the Magpies had won 14 straight matches against sides that did not make finals in 2025.
- Scott Pendlebury has recorded 70 disposals across his past two matches.
- Pendlebury has also kicked three goals in his past two games.
Head to Head Stats
Collingwood have taken out the past three meetings between the two sides by an average margin of 53 points. They have not met at the MCG since 2021, when the Magpies scored a 45-point victory.
Standout player performances in recent head-to-head clashes have come from:
- Nick Daicos (Pies) – averages 33 disposals against West Coast
- Jack Crisp (Pies) – 25+ disposals in his past two against the Eagles
- Liam Duggan (Eagles) – 25+ disposals in his past three against Collingwood
- Tom McCarthy (Eagles) – 29 disposals in his only match against the Pies
- Tim Membrey (Pies) – seven goals from his past two against West Coast
Collingwood Magpies Form Analysis
Collingwood come in with a 4-5-1 win/loss/draw record. Since splitting their Round 8 fixture against Hawthorn at 93 apiece, they have gone down to Geelong by 54 points and Sydney by six.
They led the Swans late in the Round 10 clash but could not hold on, with the 71-56 inside 50 count proving decisive in the end.
They now take on a lower-ranked side and had won their previous 14 against teams that did not make finals in 2025 before the loss to Sydney ended that streak, although it is worth noting the ladder-leading Swans are a very different outfit to the injury-ravaged side of last season.
A big positive in recent weeks has been the form of Jordan De Goey, who has recorded 29 and 30 disposals in his past two outings, his best returns in two years. Nick Daicos had 28 disposals against Sydney and 29 against Geelong. He had produced seven consecutive 30+ disposal games prior to that.
Meanwhile, the man of the moment, Scott Pendlebury, is averaging 24 disposals per game in 2026, just shy of his career average of 25.36. He picked up 27 in his most recent outing against Geelong in Round 9, while in the ANZAC Day clash against Essendon he produced a career-high 43 disposals.
West Coast Eagles Form Analysis
West Coast snapped a six-game losing streak by defeating GWS by 17 points last weekend, with the win built on some impressive work in the ruck by Bailey Williams, who had 41 hit-outs and two goals, while Harley Reid stood tall with 34 disposals and two goals of his own. Jake Waterman spearheaded the attack with three goals.
Waterman has kicked three goals in each of his past three matches, while Reid has recorded 25 or more disposals in three of his past four.
From a defensive point of view, the match against GWS was the Eagles’ best of the season, conceding just 71 points, the lowest opposition score they have allowed in 2026. Scoring has been an issue for West Coast, averaging just 71 points per game this season, but there are signs of improvement with their ball movement and midfield connection.
The Eagles are also beginning to compete much better around the contest. Reid, Williams, Liam Baker and Tim Kelly all had 10 or more contested possessions against GWS, while Willem Duursma continues to progress strongly.
