Collingwood vs Fremantle Prediction & Betting Tips: AFL 2025 Round 19
Magpies to Recalibrate After Loss
A genuine Sunday blockbuster awaits as the ladder-leading Collingwood Magpies host a red-hot Fremantle Dockers outfit at the MCG. The Magpies will be smarting after their eight-game winning streak was snapped by the Gold Coast Suns last weekend. In a performance that was well below their usual lofty standards for three quarters, Craig McRae’s side still showcased their champion quality, storming home in the final term to momentarily snatch the lead before ultimately falling short by six points. Despite the loss, Collingwood remains the benchmark of the competition, and a return to their spiritual home provides the perfect opportunity to issue a statement and get back on the winners' list.
Dockers in Strong Winning Form
Fremantle will travel to Melbourne with confidence, shaping as a legitimate threat to the reigning premiers. Justin Longmuir’s side currently occupies eighth spot on the ladder and is arguably one of the form teams of the competition. Their gritty 13-point victory over Hawthorn last weekend was their seventh win from their past eight games, with the only blemish in that impressive stretch being a narrow loss to the second-placed Sydney Swans. The Dockers’ momentum is set to receive another significant boost with the timely return of star midfielder Hayden Young, who has been sidelined for nearly four months with a serious injury. His inclusion adds another layer of class and toughness to their already formidable engine room.
Recent History
Recent history and venue advantage sit firmly with the Magpies. Collingwood secured a hard-fought 14-point win when these sides met at Optus Stadium earlier this season and are undefeated in their last five clashes against the Dockers, a run that includes a draw in their only meeting last year. The MCG factor cannot be overstated; the Magpies have turned their home ground into an absolute fortress, winning 12 of their last 13 games at the venue. While Fremantle has improved its form on the road, confronting a top-of-the-table Collingwood side at the MCG is the toughest assignment in football.
Magpies or Dockers? Here's our Collingwood vs Fremantle Tip
While Fremantle is in superb form, expect a fierce response from the Magpies. A rare loss is often the catalyst for a renewed focus, and they will be determined to re-establish their dominance and extend their lead at the top of the ladder. The return to the MCG, combined with their superior class and depth across the field, should prove too much for the travelling Dockers.

Our Best Player Prop Bet: Young Score Anytime
One of the Dockers best players in Hayden Young will return after a long injury layoff. He was spending a decent amount of time as a half forward earlier in the year when resting from the midfield, and he did manage to make some scoreboard impact. He’s kicked 2, 0, 1, and 1 goals from his four games this season, and I expect him to play mostly ahead of the ball here in his first game back.
