Single bet as follows:

* Collingwood to defeat Melbourne $266.24 @ 1.16

After a bumper weekend I am (finally) back in the black and with alot of potential upset games this week the only safe bet looks to be Collingwood to defeat Melbourne. Last time these two teams met Melbourne almost pinched the

Scott Pendlebury performed well against Melbourne last time they met

upset win of the season and it is for this reason that Collingwood will not underestimate the Dees this time, they will come out like they would against Geelong or Carlton.

While Collingwood are relatively injury free the Dees are not faring so well with James Frawley, Nathan Jones, James McDonald and Colin Sylvia all questionable to play in the Queen’s Birthday clash on Monday. After last weeks late scare against the Bulldogs the Pies will be looking to stamp some dominance on the competition and what better chance to do so before earning a week long break.

Last time these two teams met it was Collingwood’s young midfield who racked up the possessions with  Sharrod Wellingham (24), Scott Pendlebury (23) and Steele Sidebottom (21) all playing a major part in the win, despite Melbourne’s Mark Jamar dominating in the ruck.   Expect Collingwood to win by 4-5 goals.

Also for those having a bet on the Football World Cup Robin Van Persie is an a lock in to score most goals for the Netherlands @ $2.20 and that’s not just because I’m an Arsenal fan.
