The Coach
Daily Telegraph
“We were really looking forward to the contest and there’s obviously a bit of spark that it’s a Carlton-Collingwood game. I was hearing from mates of mine I didn’t even know barracked for Carlton over the last couple of days and they were looking forward to the game and thought they were going to go well. I’ll be getting back to them in the next 24 hours. That was the strongest performance we’ve put together over the last five or six weeks and we want to see that continue. ... We’ve always had that confidence in the way we played. We’ve had to really grind out the last five or six weeks and I think most sides sort of feel like they’re in that position. Pretty footy will get you so far, but really it’s that consistency of being able to stay in shape and win contested ball and defend well that’s going to keep you in games. There’s been a fair bit of scrutiny on the way we’ve gone about the last five or six weeks and outside of the West Coast and Melbourne games we’ve been fairly competitive. We’ve used 39 players so we’ve gone to the depth of our squad.” - Nathan Buckley

The Game
The Age
A rivalry, old, with a venue, new. And Carlton’s finals hopes are on borrowed time after Collingwood finished over the top of the Blues. That was the story from the Gabba on Sunday as the Magpies delivered a hammer blow to Carlton’s finals dream with an enthralling 24-point victory over the Blues. Collingwood kept Carlton goal-less in the second half to firmly reinforce their place in the top eight and give senior coach Nathan Buckley extra reason to celebrate his 200th game in charge of the Pies. The Magpies also drew level with Carlton with 127 wins apiece in the storied rivalry – the first time they have been equal with the Blues since 1982 and their 11th win over Carlton in the last 13 meetings between the clubs. Collingwood hit the front early in the fourth term after a rushed behind and after being shaky in front of goal, Jaidyn Stephenson dribbled through a vital goal before Josh Daicos, Brody Mihocek and Mason Cox iced the four points for the fast-finishing Pies. In amongst the goal avalanche, Chris Mayne suffered a heavy knock from Carlton captain Patrick Cripps and was taken from the field in the hands of medical staff.
Fox Footy
No Adam Treloar, No Steele Sidebottom, No Jordan De Goey, no Jeremy Howe — no worries for Collingwood, which produced one of its most stirring and important wins of 2020 so far. One of the biggest games between traditional rivals Carlton and Collingwood in years lived up to all expectations — but only the Magpies, ultimately, stamped their finals authority. After an arm-wrestle of a first half, the Magpies kicked five goals in the second half and kept the Blues goalless to run out 24-point winners, 10.12 (72) to 7.6 (48). It was Collingwood’s highest score since Round 3. The win saw the Pies leapfrog St Kilda into sixth spot on the AFL ladder. ... Collingwood’s forward line finally clicked, with Jaidyn Stephenson, Josh Thomas, Mason Cox and Brody Mihocek all kicking two goals each.Taylor Adams was inspirational for the Pies, with 16 of his 23 disposals coming during the Magpies’ second-half surge. Adams also had 17 contested possessions, seven clearances and six score involvements.

Carlton has been left staring into the abyss after a second half shut out against the Magpies left their finals campaign hanging by a thread. The Pies came back from nine-points down in the third quarter to secure a 10.12 (72) to 7.6 (48) victory that sees them jump up to sixth on the AFL ladder. The Pies had no Steele Sidebottom, Adam Treloar, Jordan De Goey or Jeremy Howe — but they had no worries in a second half blitz where they kept the Blues goalless. The Blues didn’t kick a goal after Jack Newnes kicked the last goal of the first half at the 26-minute mark of the second term. Collingwood kicked five goals to none in the second half and should have had more if not for some wayward kicking in front of the big sticks. The result may be the end of the Blues’ season — adding a cherry on top of the win for the Magpies, who also levelled the record in the AFL’s oldest rivalry at 127 wins each.

COLLINGWOOD keeps holding the challengers at bay. A campaign that looked to be losing its lustre a fortnight ago has suddenly been steadied with back-to-back wins, with a 24-point victory over Carlton on Sunday satisfying for a number of reasons. The side's brave 10.12 (72) to 7.6 (48) win at the Gabba was a backs-to-the-wall performance full of heart. Without a number of key players, the Pies rose to the sizeable task laid down by the Blues. But while the manner of the victory was certainly the most pleasing aspect of a result that will take the Pies one step closer to sealing a top-eight berth, putting a dagger in the finals hopes of their arch rivals was undoubtedly just as sweet.
ABC News
Collingwood has staved off rivals Carlton in a boost for its finals aspirations, winning by 24 points at the Gabba. The 10.12 (72) to 7.6 (48) victory on Sunday came after the Magpies trailed by two points at the final change. It keeps them entrenched in the top eight in sixth position while ensuring the resurgent Blues remain on the outer in 12th place. The goal-kicking duties were shared around by the Magpies, with Mason Cox, Brody Mihocek, Jaidyn Stephenson and Josh Thomas kicking two goals each.
