2016 AFL Round 18: Collingwood Magpies vs North Melbourne Kangaroos
July 21, 2016 by Marc Jerbs

On Friday, the Collingwood Magpies will face the North Melbourne Kangaroos in Round 18 of the 2016 AFL. Game time is set 7:50PM AEST at the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.

North Melbourne has suffered a tremendous decline on their season after a scorching start. With a 9-0 record and two games clear at the top of the ladder, the Roos went on a tailspin after losing six of their last eight games. They slipped into 8th place in the standings and must put an end in their five-game losing streak.

The Collingwood Magpies still have a slim chance to qualify in the finals series. A win against the Roos would give them another lease of life for a week. The Pies have put together some good games on the road late in the season.

The sportsbook handicappers have installed North Melbourne Kangaroos as a 6.5-point favorite to beat the Collingwood Magpies on Friday night.
