"The will to win has been really strong and we keep finding a way... We didn't expect anything different from what we got tonight. It was always going to be a heavily contested game. ... The players are the ones that believe there is no challenge that is insurmountable, or there is no challenge we can't overcome if we stick to our task. We're not going to win every game, but we are going to be competitive and impose our brand on it and give ourselves every chance." – Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley |

AFLA possibly career-ending knee injury to veteran Daniel Wells has soured Collingwood's 11.14 (80) to 11.7 (73) come-from-behind win over Sydney at the SCG on Friday night. In his first game since round 11, 2018, the 34-year-old Magpie kicked three goals to remind the football world what he is capable of when fit, before his evening finished early in the third term. NEWS.com.au The game up for grabs in the dying stages, but a costly mistake by Dane Rampe gifted the Magpies a goal and sealed the result. The win for the Magpies was soured when Daniel Wells, who returned for the first time in almost a year, suffered a knee injury in the third quarter and took no further in the game. It makes it seven straight wins for Collingwood and further locks in their premiership credentials. Ruckman Brodie Grundy was once again an unstoppable force as he monstered the Swans big men with a staggering 64 hitouts to go along with 18 disposals. Fox Footy With the Pies leading the Swans by just two points at the SCG — with Nick Blakey having closed the margin late in their clash — Chris Mayne marked inside 50. And (Dane) Rampe was the man on the mark. In a bizarre, if entertaining, series of events, Rampe marked out where the ‘mark’ was on the ground, then did his very best to distract Mayne. The Swans co-captain ran from side to side, then looped towards the mark — before jumping right over it. While it had the desired effect — with Mayne missing his set shot — Rampe almost immediately was made to regret his actions, with the umpire paying a straightforward 50-metre penalty. Mayne was brought forward, and from point-blank range, made no mistake, giving the Pies an eight-point lead — and Rampe a moment to rue. Collingwood News ... Pies skipper Scott Pendlebury delivered another vintage outing to continue what has been another fine season. The Magpies took advantage of the absence of Swans midfield duo Josh Kennedy (left knee) and George Hewett (concussion) in the final term, stringing together their seventh-straight win, 11.14 (80) to 11.7 (73). In the ruck, Brodie Grundy was simply excellent, putting it down the throats of his teammates time and again, with Adam Treloar (38 disposals) among the beneficiaries. Sydney led by 10 early in the final term as they eyed off an unlikely upset, but Callum Sinclair and Will Hayward were made to rue misses after having their shots at goal set up by Reid. Hard-working wingman Chris Mayne kicked a unique goal, volleying through a high Ben Reid pass while lying on the ground. Then seconds later, Callum Brown put on a burst of speed to give his team a lead it wouldn't concede. Wide World Of Sports Luckless Collingwood veteran Daniel Wells has suffered yet another knee injury in his first AFL game since Round 12 last season. After being traded by North Melbourne, Wells' tenure as a Magpie has been cruelled by multiple injuries and he limped off yet again in the Magpies' 11. 14. (80) to 11. 7. (73) at the SCG. Wells was chasing a loose ball on the wing in the third quarter when his left knee landed heavily on the turf after a tackle from Sydney's Jackson Thurlow. The 34-year-old tried to knock the side of his left knee with his hand before eventually limping off with the assistance of the Magpies' medical staff. The Age The 11.14 (80) to 11.7 (73) result sealed win number seven in a row for Collingwood, and no doubt came as a massive relief for coach Nathan Buckley, who was without seven of the 22 players who ran out in last year’s grand final. ... Collingwood dominated the key metrics, including contested possessions (153-138), inside 50s (63-47) and clearances (48-39), and would have dominated the scoreboard too were it not for wonky kicking. There was only so long that the Swans could hold out a team posting those sort of numbers, and it was to their credit that they did so to the dying moments. |
