SavvyPlays Tip — Lean

01Geelong by 10

Geelong’s season remains a tale of two teams: 10–0 at Kardinia Park, 2–6 everywhere else. Tonight they’re at the MCG — not their fortress. But Collingwood at 7–11 are struggling and lost to Adelaide by 36 last round.

The H2H favours Geelong 3–2 in the last five. 21 of 27 Squiggle models tip Geelong at 59.9% with a +9.0 margin. Geelong’s overall quality (12–6) should prevail, but their away fragility keeps this as a Lean.
