What The Pies Coach Said “We came here to win, and we felt like we had the plan to do so. And I think it probably showed early in the game that what we put in place was going to trouble Sydney. The fact that they only scored 10 goals in the end [shows] defensively we held up for the most part. We’re disappointed for not being able to stick at it and not being able to put enough chains together to score or get field position after quarter-time. The reality is we had some players that dropped away and that’s going to happen at times, especially with young boys.” - Nathan Buckley

Media Clippings Herald Sun A Sydney surge from after quarter time has solidified the Swans place inside the AFL’s top eight and compounded Collingwood’s woes in season 2021 as they romped home to win by 30 points at the SCG. After surprising the SCG faithful with a four goal to one first term, courtesy of a double to Jordan De Goey, Collingwood would become the first team this season to endure two goalless quarters – the second and third - as the Swans piled on ten majors to one over the remainder of the contest. NEWS.com.au The Collingwood faithful have slammed their side’s performance against Sydney, declaring the Magpies’ effort “utterly embarrassing”, “woeful” and a “horror show”. After surprising the SCG with a four goals to one first term, courtesy of a double to Jordan De Goey, Collingwood would become the first team this season to endure two goalless quarters — the second and third — as the Swans piled on 10 majors to one over the remainder of the contest. The wheels fell off spectacularly after quarter time for Nathan Buckley’s troops, who managed a total of just four points across the second and third terms. The Swans, meanwhile, helped themselves to six unanswered goals in a 37-point turnaround between the first and third breaks. Collingwood kicked just one goal after quarter time, ensuring any pressure eased by last week’s win has been firmly forced back onto Buckley’s shoulders. The Age Sydney have heaped more misery upon struggling Collingwood, overcoming a lacklustre start to notch an important 30-point win on Saturday. Plagued by injuries, a run of bad form and murmurs of a pending boardroom coup, the Magpies came out with a point to prove at the SCG, scoring three of the first four goals – including two from under-fire star Jordan De Goey – to lead by 18 points at quarter-time. But they were held to just two behinds in the middle quarters and after ex-Swan Darcy Cameron’s 24th-minute set shot, the Pies kicked just one more goal for the remainder of the afternoon.
