"We're
really pleased to come up here and bring our energy. Brisbane are a
really good team. We knew they'd come at us at some stage, they're the
number one hard ball contested team, so we knew they'd come at us
physically. We put the bit between the teeth and wanted to show we were
up for it."

The AgeCollingwood have shown their AFLW finals credentials with an impressive 29-point away win over Brisbane on Saturday. A midfield masterclass from Pies pair Brittany Bonnici (26 disposals) and Brianna Davey (22) and strong marking from forward Sarah D'Arcy was instrumental in the 5.13 (43) to 2.2 (14) victory. The Lions nearly made the visitors pay for wasteful kicking at goal with a third-quarter comeback, but Collingwood finished strongly to claim their third straight win over the Lions. The afternoon was soured for Collingwood however by a compound fracture to ruck Sharni Layton's right finger. Only players and officials from both teams were in attendance at Brisbane's Hickey Park, with supporters not permitted to attend AFLW matches due to the coronavirus pandemic. Herald Sun Spectators were locked out of today’s clash between Brisbane and Collingwood and the Lions also failed to show up in the first half to fall to their second-straight AFLW defeat. The Magpies blew Brisbane away in the opening two quarters to run away with a 5.13 (43) to 2.2 (14) victory in front of only “essential” club, AFL and broadcast staff due to an AFL ban on crowds because of the coronavirus crisis. The Lions kicked just the one behind in the first term and went scoreless in the second and fourth quarters as hardy supporters of both clubs stood behind the temporary security fencing that surrounded Hickey Park. That metal fencing provided better defence than the Lions who trailed 16-1 at quarter-time after goals to Collingwood duo Sarah Rowe and Sophie Alexander and by 25-1 at the main break when a Chloe Molloy major extended the Magpies’ buffer. Collingwood News Collingwood has thrown Conference B wide open with a 29-point demolition of Brisbane at Hickey Park on Saturday. The first AFL Women's game played in front of no crowd was one-way traffic from the outset as Collingwood was too tough, too quick and too polished to win 5.13 (43) to 2.2 (14). The four points moves the Magpies into equal second in their conference with Melbourne and Carlton – ahead of that pair's clash on Saturday night. Collingwood led by 15 points at the first change and 24 at half-time, margins that could have been greater bar some inaccurate kicking. They had to withstand a strong third quarter from the Lions, but were never really challenged. |
