Melbourne Demons take on Collingwood Magpies in Round 13 of the 2025 AFL season on Monday at the MCG.
The Demons are coming off a disappointing 63-91 loss against St Kilda in Alice Springs -- a defeat that put a halt to their recent momentum. They are sitting 5-7, and will hope to avoid mistakes that cost them points early in the season.
Now they face a red-hot Magpies side whom they have only beaten twice in the last 12 encounters.
Collingwood, on the other hand, are 10-2, sitting comfortably at the top of the ladder and are the team to beat this season. They have favourable fixtures in the upcoming weeks -- four straight games against teams outside the top eight as the Pies look to further extend their lead in the league.
