Cats TV asked Tom Lonergan and Scott Gullan on Argue the Toss if Collingwood were ripe for the picking or ready to take flight.

Despite Collingwood’s inconsistent start to the season, Lonergan believes they have the ability to rise to the occasion and will play to win.

"They always show up when they play the Cats, not at all right for the picking. I think they’ll come out pretty keen to prove that their form is not so bad," Lonergan said.

Gullan agrees that Saturday night’s rivalry clash provides the perfect ingredients for a dangerous contest and  both teams will take their game to the next level.

"I think it’s like St Kilda Carlton this week, I mean St Kilda looked out of form and in trouble and they lifted against the team they play well against, Collingwood have played well against Geelong, it’s a big danger game," Gullan said.
