LAST season the Crows were the easiest team to play against but this year it’s looking like the Pies are the team who are giving up bulk points in 2021.
Across all positions except the ruck (due to Brodie Grundy’s dominance), Collingwood have given up the most points to their opposition.
Defenders against the Pies are some of the biggest beneficiaries. Calvin expects Jack Ziebell and Aaron Hall to have big games this week based on what they’ve been allowed to do in North Melbourne’s backline this season, coupled with the easy opponent.
