No, I'm on no side. I don't like the fact that I'd have to take Collingwood at -42.5 just to get a decent price. But I do think they'll win. I watched the Footy Show last night, kind of in a wine-induced fog mind you, and I'm pretty sure there are no major exclusions from the Magpies in this one. If they were resting people or guys were injured then I'd say you have a chance but as of now I'd say you just have A chance. Although not a large one.
They're the favourites for the Premiership now and they've been on fire whereas Essendon is a young side led by a coach who is trying to save his job because he's messed them up so much this year.
