Collingwood Magpies 13.12.90
Hawthorn Hawks 11.6.72
Two struggling sides meet at the MCG as the Collingwood Magpies play the Hawthorn Hawks. Join The Roar for all the action from 7:25pm (AEST).
Collingwood have struggled to start the season, but they almost got their biggest win of the season last weekend against Greater Western Sydney.
It was only a late Steve Johnson goal that handed the Magpies their sixth loss of the season, but the improvements were on display for all to see.
Despite this, Nathan Buckley’s seat just got a whole lot warmer, and they’ll want a strong showing against a struggling team like Hawthorn to get the media off their back.
The Hawks’ fall from grace saw the side lose their first four games of the year to be essentially eliminated from finals contention. However, wins over the Eagles and Demons have Hawthorn clawing their way back up the ladder.
Last weekend was a 38-point victory over the Lions in Launceston, and they’ll be hoping to continue this vein of form against the Magpies, another team they would view as vulnerable.
The Pies have made one change for this clash, welcoming midfielder Adam Treloar back from injury. Ben Reid has been omitted with a quad injury, meaning Collingwood may be a little short in the talls department.
The Hawks have made four changes, with Jack Fitzpatrick (Concussion), Ben Stratton (Knee), Cyril Rioli (Knee), and James Frawley (Toe) all suffering injuries. Kaiden Brand, Taylor Duryea, Ty Vickery and Brendan Whitecross will come into the side.
Although the Magpies are lower on the ladder, they’ve been in better form than the Hawks so far. With the return of Treloar, the midfield that matched it with GWS last weekend should have too much class for Hawthorn.
Prediction
Although the Hawks have won three from four, I can’t see that continuing this weekend, especially with the players they’ve lost.
If the Magpies don’t win this one, we could see Buckley out the door sooner rather than later.
Magpies by 28.

Well, it took Mick Malthouse 11 years to win a flag, so I think we can be a little more patient with Bucks,eh?

Great call Joel. I was stuck doing the rather lacklustre Brisbane v Adelaide. Much obliged for the entertainment in between.

FULL TIME The Magpies have stormed back from a 34-point half-time deficit to record an 18-point victory over the Hawks at the MCG. Possibly even more pleasing than the victory for the Magpies though is the fact they held the Hawks to 1.2 after halftime. Full Report to come.

Clarkson totally out coached by Bucks. Time for Clarko to move on. Hodge...how pathetic! Such tantrums from a has been.

They shouldn't be getting those kind of decisions wrong. There's no grey area with that rule, you either give it straight to the man, or it's 50. Or at least, that's how I learnt the game.

0' It's going to be a very important win for the Pies. Probably keeps the coach around a bit longer as well. Less than 30 seconds remaining, and the ball is stuck deep inside the Pies' attacking 50. FINAL SCORE Collingwood 13.12 90 Hawthorn 11.6 72

That's a howler. Can't believe how bad the umpiring has been this season. And it kills me to say that in a Hawks-Pies game

GOAL MAGPIES 2' Luke Hodge going after Taylor Adams at the moment. He's not happy about something. While that's going on, Smith will snap the sealer with the left boot. Magpies 13.12 90 Hawks 11.6 72

2' Crisp sends one inside 50, but Moore can't mark. Blair manages to scramble it towards the boundary line, and the Pies will set up deep in their attacking territory. Hawks 12.12 84 Magpies 11.6 72

3' Goldsack with a good mark at half-back, and the Pies can slow it down. Elliott coming off with some blood above the eye. Magpies 12.12 84 Hawks 11.6 72

BEHIND HAWKS 4' Less than 5 minutes to go now, as the Hawks come forward through Langford. He'll come out wide to Breust, who eventually finds Gunston. He's told to play on, and his snap misses to the near side. Magpies 12.12 84 Hawks 11.6 72

6' Three goals in six minutes required for the Hawks from this point. Probably a bridge too far, but you never know. Adams comes out of congestion with a right foot snap, but it's not on target. Fasolo now has the footy in the pocket, but he's turned it over to Tom Mitchell. The Hawks stream forward now, and now Breust is impeded at half-forward. Maynard has kicked the footy away from Breust, but now 50 metre penalty. That's a mistake from the umpires, and that would have been a goal. Magpies 12.12 84 Hawks 11.5 71

GOAL MAGPIES 7' The Pies pushing forward in numbers here, as Pendlebury flicks a handball inside for 50 for Blair. He'll handball out wide for Sidebottom, who steps around his man and launches a snap off the left boot. It's curling back perfectly, and the Pies may be home!! Magpies 12.12 84 Hawks 11.5 71

8' Clearance for Treloar, but the Hawks have numbers back. Hodge goes to Hardwick with the hands, and they'll eventually work the ball wide to Gunston. He comes inboard for Hodge, and the Hawks will slow it down. Magpies 11.12 78 Hawks 11.5 71

GOAL MAGPIES 9' Jeremy Howe with a strong mark at half-back, and now Crisp takes off from halfback. He sends it long to half-forward, but Isaac Smith will win possession. He's turned it over, and now the Pies are in. Pendlebury will gather and fire on the left, and it's over the goal-umpire's head!! Magpies 11.12 78 Hawks 11.5 71

10' Pendlebury turns the ball over at half-back, but he makes up for it by forcing a throw out of Liam Shiels. Long kick comes down the line, and neither side can win possession. Magpies 10.12 72 Hawks 11.5 71

10' The Hawks win the clearance, but Puopolo is tackled well by Maynard. Now Whitecross gets rid of Crisp, but Hardwick's kick inside is very poor. It's out on the full, and the Pies are off the hook for now. Magpies 10.12 72 Hawks 11.5 71

GOAL MAGPIES 11' Schade makes a good contest on the wing, and now the Pies can go forward. Greenwood sends one inside 50, but there's no mark taken. It comes out the back for Pendlebury, and he's got space. He goes with the hands to Elliott, and he'll snap one through on the left!! Collingwood leads for the first time tonight!!

BEHIND MAGPIES 12' Darcy Moore with a very strong mark on the lead, as he gets out in front of Gibson. He's going to have to launch this one from 55, and the distance ends up being a problem. The Hawks will punch it through. Magpies 9.12 66 Hawks 11.5 71
