Melbourne Demons vs Collingwood Magpies, Round 13 2025 - Expert Prediction
Collingwood will put a major dent in Melbourne’s slim finals chances with a win at the MCG on King’s Birthday.
The Magpies sit on top of the ladder with 10 wins from 12 matches as we pass the halfway mark of the season and stifled Hawthorn last weekend in the 51-point victory.
The Demons went down to St Kilda by 28-points in Alice Springs in a game they simply needed to win. Wasteful kicking in front of goal cost them in the 7.21 to 14.7 scoreline
The 2021 premiers had improved their scoring output in previous weeks but come up against a Collingwood side that have conceded fewer points than any other side this season.
Expect the Magpies to roll on with another win with the total points going under. Jamie Elliott will be hard to stop up forward, while Nick Daicos looks set for another game. Max Gawn has had the measure of Darcy Cameron in recent years and will be influential for Melbourne.
- Collingwood have conceded the fewest amount of points of any side this season.
- Jamie Elliott has kicked 10 goals in the past two rounds
- Nick Daicos had 40 disposals the last time the two sides met
- Max Gawn is averaging over 20 disposals this season and has averaged 24 in his past three matches against Collingwood
