ON THE BLOCK: Winners are grinners and a look across the MCG failed to find an under-performer for the Magpies with every single player reaching double-figure possessions and arguably beating their opponents. The forward structure was more open and while Mason Cox dropped some marks he should have taken he presented an option and with Darcy Moore up and going the Pies finally look to have enough goals in them. ON THE CUSP: Ben Reid, rested for Sunday's clash after being banged up through the opening five rounds, could find his way back in to the side for the clash with Carlton. But Buckley said the performance of Lynden Dunn, in his first game for the Magpies after a pre-season switch from the Demons, had posed "a question" for the match committee given he kept Tom Hawkins to a single goal and provided some good run from the backline. RUSSELL GOULD'S FORECAST: The Magpies didn't just beat Geelong, they dismantled them, taking the ball to dangerous parts of the ground more often than not and opening the Cats up on enough occasions to suggest better things are ahead. Nathan Buckley's list is relatively healthy and with Jordan de Goey's club-imposed suspension nearing an end the "blue sky" the coach spoke of post the win looms prominent in Collingwood's near future. |
