| What The Pies Coach Said "We were pretty happy with that. We were looking for a response after
last week (loss to Brisbane) … and we felt got that today. The girls'
intent was pretty positive from the start and we did overdo the ball a
bit today and made a few mistakes, but we did it with intent." – Collingwood coach Steve Symonds |
Media Clippings
COLLINGWOOD has shored up its top-two hopes with a comprehensive 47-point win over an embattled St Kilda on Saturday. Led by small forward Aliesha Newman (two goals in the opening four minutes and three overall), the Pies were switched on from the opening bounce in the 8.11 (59) to 2.1 (13) win at Victoria Park. ... As the game progressed, the Pies spread the ball with much more purpose, showing greater composure in the face of some fierce St Kilda tackling. ... Brianna Davey (23 touches) was outstanding all around the ground, with the Saints having no match for her physicality and marking ability, while the ever-industrious Britt Bonnici (29) and Jaimee Lambert (21 and seven tackles) found plenty of the footy. ... At this time of the season, percentage is especially vital for teams in finals calculation. The Pies now cannot drop out of the top six, and had entered the match with a percentage of 195.9. Thanks in part to two fearsome goal-saving tackles by Ruby Schleicher as the Saints pressed in the third, Collingwood's percentage now sits at 217.0, and the team is in first place halfway through the round. Collingwood bounced back from a heartbreaking loss with a percentage-boosting win against St Kilda that piles the pressure on the AFLW ladder leaders. Brianna Davey has roared back into form to help Collingwood back onto the winners list, with a 46-point win over St Kilda keeping the Magpies in top-two calculations. Following her uncharacteristically down performance against Brisbane last week, Davey (23 disposals) and midfield partner Britt Bonnici (29 disposals) were superb as the Pies notched a healthy percentage boost heading into their final game of the season against fellow finals contenders Adelaide. Collingwood have kept in touch with the top two after a clinical 46-point win over St Kilda at Victoria Park on Saturday. Usual suspects Brittany Bonnici (29 disposals, five marks), Ruby Schleicher (23 disposals, five marks, three tackles) and Brianna Davey (23 touches) all starred as the Magpies flew to their seventh win of the season. Aliesha Newman, who had not kicked a goal this season prior to the match, booted three majors and two behinds from eight disposals. |
