LIVE AFL: Pies, Demons’ wobbly seasons on the line in King’s Birthday blockbuster

Must read

The King’s Birthday blockbuster concludes Round 13, and sees both Collingwood and Melbourne desperate to keep in touch with the top eight.

The Magpies (6-4-2, 104.6%) haven’t won in three weeks as a mounting injury toll compounds their tough task of overcoming an 0-3 start to the season.

The Demons (7-5, 104.3%) have dropped three of their last four games and were simply awful last time out against Fremantle.
