"There's a lot of things we could have done better and when you lose a game at the death you're not as positive as you might have been otherwise. We didn't move the ball as efficiently as we would have liked. We didn't execute well enough going inside 50. Harris Andrews took six marks, (Ryan) Lester took four and (Marcus) Adams took three marks from our kicks. That's too many. They're good players. Harris Andrews was a thorn in our side. You'd like to see a few more of them come to ground and see what you can make of them." – Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley

Media Clippings

The manic celebrations said it all. Brisbane Lions’ season is alive after the sort of drama only sport can deliver. Gallantry wins you medals. It also wins you four points. Brisbane’s Zac Bailey kicked the winning goal after the siren on Thursday night. 


ZAC Bailey has lived every young footballer's dream, kicking a goal after the siren to help Brisbane defeat Collingwood at Marvel Stadium by one point and revive its flagging season. With his team trailing by five points and the clock winding down, Bailey marked a deftly weighted Daniel Rich kick 50m from goal. The young midfielder moved in as the siren sounded and flushed the kick straight between the posts to lift the Lions to a 11.7 (73) to 11.6 (72) victory.


In a piece of football poetry, Brisbane’s Zac Bailey has beaten Collingwood with a goal after the siren - a week after being robbed of a shot at the match-winner by an umpiring mistake. ... On Thursday night, after his side trailed all night, Bailey marked directly in front and 45 metres out with seconds left. The siren sounded and he kicked truly for a famous one-point backs-against-the-wall victory. ... Collingwood (1-2) was led by a dominant Brodie Grundy ruck performance. He finished with a massive 22 hitouts to advantage, along with 28 disposals and six tackles.
