Bernie Vince has nailed a shot from 50, after Jetta marks. It’s a goal but it wont stand and it will have to come back. Jetta misses. Not sure why it wasn’t play on.

About 10 players manage to misread the ball as Collingwood slow the play down attempting to open up the play.
Seedsman is the man to take the opening but it’s marked by Dunn.
Collingwood behind.
Demons have been pinged for deliberate out of bounds, which seems more like a judgement on the poor blokes ability, rather than his decision making. Did his best to keep it in and egg bounces every way and then out.
[VIDEO] Melbourne Demons vs Collingwood Magpies: AFL live scores, blog, highlights
Goldsack had been decked and a concussion could be possible. He’s on the field and just fumbled. Seedsman drives through the middle, he manages to not hear the whole crowd yell “PASS!” but he dodges a few tackles in a “I told you so” fashion. Cloke does well to release a teammate. Just as the ball comes in Cloke drags Dunn to the ground. Dees are relieved.
Clean footy so far.
