THE SIX POINTS
1. Both sides claimed a victory in 2013, with Adam Goodes starring in the Swans' terrific 47-point triumph at the MCG. But the Pies bounced back strongly in round 20 at ANZ Stadium, led by Scott Pendlebury, Dane Swan and Dayne Beams.
2. Collingwood has dominated the Swans over the past decade, winning 11 of the last 13, including a run of 11 straight between 2006-2012.
3. Despite their disappointing effort against GWS, the Swans still had the third most contested possessions for any team in round one with 158. Collingwood was eighth with 145.
4. One area that may have pleased coach Nathan Buckley in round one was Collingwood's 83 tackles, the second most among all teams. The Swans were fourth with 76.
5. Collingwood's final score of 5.16 (46) in round one against Fremantle was its lowest against any team since round three, 2010.
Prediction: Swans by 37 points
