"It depends what prism you want to look at it. If you thought it was a done deal, if you thought the game was already played, then you'll look at it through that prism. But if you look at it the way we did as a game that had to be won, then we're really happy with the capacity of the players in that last 10-15 minutes to go and get it done. When you get that far in it's not about talent any more or structure or set ups, it's about who wants to win most, and it was us.' – Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley |
Media Clippings
AFLIT WAS football's version of rope-a-dope. Carlton outplayed Collingwood for three quarters of Saturday's clash at the MCG. The Blues were energetic, enthusiastic and exciting. They kicked big goals, whipped the crowd into a frenzy and threatened to snare perhaps the biggest victory of Brendon Bolton's tenure at the club. They even jumped to an 11-point lead at the 20-minute mark of the final quarter. And then, just as Carlton could start thinking about a memorable win, Collingwood went bang. The Pies booted the final five goals of the game to register a 19-point win over their arch rivals, with late majors to Jordan De Goey, Tom Phillips and Will Hoskin-Elliott sealing the victory. NEWS.com.au The blockbuster between Collingwood and Carlton has been soured by horrific crowd behaviour after multiple fights broke out in the stands at the MCG. It marks the second time in the last week where a fight has unfolded at the MCG either during or after a game. Several calls to 3AW painted an ugly picture of the scenes that unfolded in bays M11 and M12, the two bays are generally where Carlton members sit. “There were four, full-on fights where people were knocked out,” one caller said on 3AW Football. “Security didn’t react quick enough so members of the public had to get in to stop these fights.” Fox Footy But Collingwood’s stars, when it mattered most, stepped up. Brodie Grundy was immense for the Pies in the ruck, finishing with 49 hit-outs, 25 disposals and two goals. It was the first time Grundy had kicked multiple goals in a game for Collingwood since a loss to the Giants in Round 2 of 2018. Tom Phillips, Steele Sidebottom and Adam Treloar all had 34 disposals, while the Blues didn’t really have an answer for De Goey’s X-factor – both in the middle and up forward – throughout the day. Collingwood News While Carlton had plenty of contributors, Collingwood's spread of performers in the big moments proved critical. Treloar (34 disposals), Phillips (34 and two goals) and Steele Sidebottom (34) were enormous in a midfield unit fed by star ruckman Brodie Grundy (25 disposals, two goals, 49 hit-outs), but it was never easy going for the Magpies, who always remained close enough to Carlton despite not being at their sharpest. Wide World Of Sports Carlton's week of soul-searching, scrutiny and off-field drama has ended in heartbreak at the MCG, failing to overcome bitter AFL rivals Collingwood in an agonising 19-point defeat. In one of the most gripping contests of the season, the Blues led by 11 points midway through Saturday afternoon's final term and threatened to pull off a massive upset before the Magpies surged home to claim a 16.10 (106) to 13.9 (87) victory. The result leaves the Blues stranded at the bottom of the ladder with just one win for 2019 and four from their past 40 games. "Last three times we played these guys the game has been decided within four goals so we knew what we were going to get," Scott Pendlebury said. "Credit to our boys for playing it all the way to the end. "I thought our boys played our brand of footy all the way through." The Age Collingwood expect Mason Cox to be in line for selection (against St Kilda) after missing the past two weeks with a foot injury, however Chris Mayne will need to be assessed after he was concussed when he copped a boot to the head from Sidebottom. Matchwinner Jordan De Goey also finished with ice on his shin at the end of the game after kicking the sealer late in the last quarter, with Buckley saying the Magpies were merely managing him. |
