The relative struggles being endured by Collingwood is box office news with all AFL publications and multi betting sites and the sporting gods haven’t been too kind to them with their next fixture.
St Kilda is their next assignment, a side that have picked up plenty of big results against Collingwood over the years and the local rivalry between the sides stems back decades.
Collingwood have lost both of their opening games and going back-to-back in the AFL is never easy, but they know they need to arrest the slide, with a busy and chaotic season ahead, nobody wants to be playing catch up.
Beating St Kilda on their home patch is never an easy thing to do but Collingwood need to prove a point to the AFL world as a whole and they should pick up an important win here.
Best Bet: Collingwood to win the match - $1.62 (Bet365)

Another side possessing a 100% record at this point in the season is Gold Coast and they will put that on the line here at the Western Bulldogs, in a fixture that is intriguing many AFL betting sites.
The Western Bulldogs were well beaten last weekend against Melbourne, and they know that they need to improve significantly if they are to climb up the table and feature in the top 8 conversation at the end of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Gold Coast have won two from two and should be full of confidence here, although they will be mindful that this is their toughest game of the season so far on paper.
Whilst most of the AFL bookmakers have gone with the Western Bulldogs to win this one, Gold Coast are going well, and they could pick up an impressive win on their travels.
Best Bet: Gold Coast to win the match - $2.30 (GetSetBet).

Richmond have endured an underwhelming start to the campaign, and they will be eager to bounce back here, for both their fans and all AFL betting sites.
Next up is a meeting with Port Adelaide, a side that pushed Collingwood all the way in 2023 and who in many tipsters eyes, could push on beyond just finishing inside the top 4 this season.
Richmond know they need to improve if they are to have any chance of cracking the top 8 this season and this game will be a very good yardstick but Port Adelaide are too long in the tooth and they should pick up an important win on their travels here.
Best Bet: Port Adelaide to win the match - $1.50 (Unibet).
