MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
"Geelong's pressure tonight was outstanding. We struggled with it at times, we weren't clean. We were able to work our way through it, we did the right things at the right time. I guess if you're winning games you're always happy. I don't think we're playing our best footy yet and that's what we're all trying to achieve is play perfect football all the time. We're still trying to work out how all the pieces are coming together." – Collingwood coach Steve Symonds |

Herald SunCollingwood further established themselves as premiership fancies after holding off Geelong by 11 points in one of the best games of the season. In a game dominated by fierce pressure and stoppages, the Cats threw everything they had at the Pies to nearly snatch a memorable win over their highly fancied opponents. But the class of Collingwood shone through when it mattered most, as the returning Chloe Molloy kicked two goals, Jaimee Lambert and Mikala Cann stood firm in the middle, and Ruby Schleicher gave the Pies bounce off halfback. Collingwood News Collingwood has survived a scare from Geelong to win its third match in a row and extend the Cats' losing streak at home to 10 straight games. In a fiery clash, both teams piled on the pressure, each laying more than 60 tackles for the game as the Magpies held on to record a 5.5.(35) to 3.6 (24) victory at GMHBA Stadium that sees them move to the top of the ladder. The Age Collingwood remain undefeated after silencing Geelong as they hosted their first home Pride game under lights at Kardinia Park.

Winless at their previous nine matches at home, Geelong were boosted by the return of Nina Morrison, Julia Crockett-Grills, Sophie Van De Heuvel and Georgie Rankin, who missed round two due to health and safety protocols. The Magpies made two changes, with Molloy returning and Bella Smith added to the interchange to rotate through the ruck. |
