Collingwood News Melbourne spoiled Collingwood's homecoming with a dominant display in a lopsided contest at Victoria Park on Saturday afternoon. The Demons controlled the play virtually from ruck Lauren Pearce's first hitout ... To compound the Magpies' party woes, the traditional rivals condemned them to their lowest score, the previous worst being 1.5 (11) against Carlton in the opening game of the inaugural 2017 season. It also equalled the competition's most meagre total, the Pies now sharing that dubious honour with Greater Western Sydney. The crowd was stunned into silence as Collingwood didn't score for two quarters until Sarah Dargan gave them something to cheer by kicking the first goal off the ground midway through the last term. The Age Collingwood narrowly escaped the ignominy of being the first AFLW team to go through a game goalless when Sarah Dargan soccered their first goal at the 11-minute mark of the last quarter. However it was not enough for the Pies to threaten the Demons who thumped them from start to finish ... The Magpies score equalled the lowest score in AFLW history, a mark Greater Western Sydney previously held on their own ... At half-time the Pies had just four of the 16 top possession winners in the game and they were getting obliterated by most other statistical measures too. . The Roar It was a one-women show for the Pies, with Ash Brazill everywhere around the ground, racking up 23 disposals, three tackles, an unsuccessful snap at goal and evening going into the ruck at one point. Steph Chiocci (11 disposals, 5 tackles) tried her best to get things going for her side, while Sarah D’Arcy was influential in her eight disposals taking the game on through half forward. Sarah Dargan scored the Pies’ only goal, it came late in the fourth quarter, but won’t mask the otherwise dull performance by Collingwood. Fox Sports Melbourne has spoiled Collingwood’s homecoming on Saturday. Two decades after the Magpies played their final AFL game at Victoria Park, they played their first AFLW game at their spiritual home. But they were rarely in the game... With gale force winds swirling around Collingwood and Abbotsford, it was far from ideal conditions for football, but Melbourne adjusted to the conditions better than the Magpies. The Herald Sun Collingwood’s happy homecoming became a house of horrors on Saturday after the Pies were held to the equal-lowest score in AFLW history. Returning to Victoria Park for the competition’s historic debut match, Collingwood made some unwelcome history in a 3.8 (26) to 1.3 (9) loss to Melbourne. The Pies’ final score tied the lowest score mark set by Greater Western Sydney in a game in which they were brushed aside by the Demons. Collingwood’s only goal came with four minutes left when Sarah Dargan soccered one through from the goalsquare, sparing the Pies from becoming the only AFLW side to finish a game goalless. |
