GOAL CARLTON
The pace has gone up a notch! An ever-familiar intercept mark from Docherty at half-back launches a fantastic attack down the wing from the Blues. Simpson, Graham, Charlie Curnow, and now Marc Murphy, who hits SPS on a hard lead 40m out in front!! Brilliant mark under pressure from the closing defender – and an even better kick, with the young man splitting the middle! He is something special!

Treloar wants to make up for his error – straight from the clearance he dashes towards 50 and launches an absolute cannon off the boot! He kicks from about 70 out, and it bounces towards goal… and into the post.

GOAL CARLTON
Big stuff-up in the middle there with Treloar knocking the ball from his captain’s hands (!?!) leading to a bad turnover. Goldsack mans Wright one-on-one, and the smaller man’s bodywork is just too good! He edges Goldsack under the Sherrin, runs onto the bouncing ball and drills his second!

BEHIND COLLINGWOOD
Collingwood stream down the wing in numbers! Pendles, Treloar, Elliot – kick inside 50! Simon White. His kick out is cut off by Mason Cox though, and he sends the ball back forward! Tim Broomhead gathers the bouncing Sherrin in the pocket and tries for a miracle bouncer – it’s not a bad effort but not quite good enough. One behind.

GOAL COLLINGWOOD
A bit of luck with the Pies there! Sidebottom darts into 50 and looks certain to drill the goal – strangely however he pulls the kick, aiming instead for Darcy Moore on a lead. It’s a shocking kick and is fisted powerfully away by Sam Rowe… landing straight in the arms of a waiting De Goey, who turns and snaps a ripper!

SPS is magic. He picks up the ball, dancing along the boundary line and fools everybody by slinging the ball across his body to Gibbs rather than sending it forward predictably. Gibbs has time and space, and finds Dale Thomas on a hard lead! He’ll kick from 45 in front.

Casboult forgets to look at his own goals and fails to see Thomas all alone inside 50 – would’ve been a certain goal, instead he holds up play and play is neutralised. Throw in on the wing.

Really odd quarter there, with a whole lot of nothing preceding a pretty hectic ten minute period of action. It’s nice and tight in around the ball, so it’s no surprise to see Cripps and Ed Curnow leading the possession count with 9 apiece. Pendles has 8 for the Pies, but Taylor Adams is the one getting dirty, winning a game-high 6 contested possessions. Yet to see anything at all from Jamie Elliot yet, someone who I thought would be key if Collingwood were to win. Still plenty of time!

GOAL COLLINGWOOD
As the clock runs down, Fasolo is given a free kick right in front of goal! As a ball is sent in long, Kade Simpson takes his eyes off the ball and is seen to block Fasolo’s run. Easy kick, and Alex nails it. The Pies get their first, and soon after the siren to end the quarter rings out. It’s the Blues by 13 at the first break.

A brilliant Pendlebury handball gives the Pies all the room in the world as they break half-forward. Crips is the one to pull the trigger on the shot, and he lets everyone down by missing.

Blues control it for a sec, but SPS’ luck runs out and he turns the ball over in the middle. The Pies work it through with handball, but the kick inside 50 is a shocker! Docherty marks and is dealt with unfairly straight after, earning a 50m penalty. Blues set to score next! Or not. Murphy’s short snap on the left is woeful, not making the distance from 20 out. Pies regain the ball.
