Despite the long trip facing them before the game, the Australian bookmaker is backing the visitors to succeed – after pricing Fremantle at 1.76. Odds of 2.08 are currently available for Collingwood.

The Magpies will be hoping that their higher than average crowds can create a hostile atmosphere for the Dockers at the MCG. However, the Dockers are sure to be boosted by the return of Nat Fyfe and Hayden Ballantyne.

The pair sat out Fremantle’s final trial against West Coast last Thursday, but Dockers captain Matthew Pavlich expects both to feature – after they came through Monday’s training session unscathed.

Pavlich said: “It’s really hard for me to know exactly how they are tracking, but I would suggest they’ll be ready for Friday night.”
