What The Pies Coach Said "I felt pretty good about it (Daicos goal). We struggled to find the middle of the big sticks for most of the night after dominating in general play…that was a bit of individual brilliance that helped give us a little bit of wriggle room. The negatives of it, the lack of finish…they are cream on the cake. The cake was really positive, the way that we set the ground up, our willingness inside, the pressure on them and our ability to win the ball was really strong. I thought we defended the ground really well for the most part and we actually used it OK through the midfield. It’s just that last kick. We were largely able to impose ourselves on the game and control the game for pretty much all of it. We could have lost it in the end, but we do need to finish and that will come.’’ – Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley

Media Clippings The Age Josh Daicos channelled the silky skills of his famous father to hand Collingwood a weird, wild and wacky nine-point win over Sydney at the Gabba on Thursday night. With the injury-ravaged Pies leading by three points with less than three minutes remaining and reduced to one fit player on the interchange bench, Daicos produced a stunning match-winner to make his father Peter proud. He won the ball hard up against the boundary line and pulled out a towering checkside in traffic to help the Pies snap a two-game losing streak and set themselves up with a friendly fixture over the next month. Daicos produced a horrible shank in the second term but as soon as he loomed over the Sherrin in the dying minutes, his DNA kicked in. But any bonhomie from the win was tempered by additions to the bulging and star-studded casualty ward at the Magpies, who butchered the ball all night. Midfielder Adam Treloar left the game in the third quarter with a suspected hamstring injury after the Pies lost Will Hoskin-Elliott with a leg injury in the first term. Boom young gun Isaac Quaynor was then carried from the field with a lower leg injury to leave the Collingwood bench to just one player. The Pies are already without the likes of skipper Scott Pendlebury, Jordan De Goey and Jeremy Howe as the mounting injury toll continues to undermine what was such a promising campaign just a few short weeks ago. AFL A STUNNING banana goal from Josh Daicos sealed a much-needed 6.14 (50) to 6.5 (41) win for Collingwood against Sydney at the Gabba on Thursday evening. The Pies had been woeful in front of goal through the first half, going into the long break with 2.10 on the board and trailing by eight points, but they straightened in the second half, however, the match was still on the line until Daicos' classic sealer. The young Sydney side didn't stop trying and a Jackson Thurlow goal midway through the last quarter brought the margin to just two points, but Nathan Buckley's men settled to go on and secure their fifth win from the opening 10 rounds. The victory was soured by a final-term leg injury to Isaac Quaynor that saw the young defender carried from the ground on a stretcher, adding to woes with Will Hoskin-Elliott and Adam Treloar also seeing the game out on the bench. Fox Footy Collingwood has escaped with a thrilling nine-point win against Sydney despite losing three players to injury and butchering the footy for an entire half. The Magpies (5-4-1) were woeful in the first two quarters, kicking 2.10 with one of those goals coming after the halftime siren, wasting total dominance in the midfield as the defence of the Swans (3-7) stood up. Nathan Buckley’s side hit the front midway through the third quarter and held on from there. but not without copping a major scare from their unfancied opponents, who got within two points - before a Josh Daicos special sealed the victory. AAP Collingwood have survived a massive scare brought about by their own woeful inaccuracy in front of goal and lost three key players to injuries in a tense nine-point win over Sydney at the Gabba. Will Hoskin-Elliott, Adam Treloar and Isaac Quaynor all failed to finish Thursday’s match as the Magpies’ almost kicked themselves to a third straight defeat. Brayden Maynard was also treated for a shoulder complaint but returned to play an important role in defence as Nathan Buckley’s men recorded an important 6.14 (50) to 6.5 (41) victory.
