"Pies give Tigers a lesson - for a quarter"

"Magpies thump Tigers by 71 points"
Sam Edmund - Herald Sun
"COLLINGWOOD'S winning streak has continued, but the Magpies were made to work by a gallant Richmond at the MCG."
"Bored Magpies flick the switch"
Mark Robinson - Herald Sun
"MOSTLY everyone tuned out half-way through the second quarter last night, with Collingwood leading by eight goals and Dane Swan destined for another three Brownlow Medal votes."
"Collingwood extends the gap after thrashing Richmond"
Courtney Walsh - The Australian
"Collingwood fans are convinced the next three flags are theirs, a confidence not dulled by an outstanding start to the season that includes last night's 71-point defeat of Richmond."
"Hawkins, Stratton prove need for change"
Mick Malthouse - The Australian
"The duty of care, player to player, has to be acknowledged. My suggestion is that a ball cannot be contested on the ground by a player who is not on his feet. Sliding in, in a reckless manner, has to be penalised with a free kick against the offending player or even in the extremity, a report."
“Tigers roar for a bit, then go quietly”
Martin Boulton - The Age
“Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse was disappointed with the third term, but said it was important not to take credit away from Richmond.”
“Tigers fail to catch rampant Magpies”
Rohan Connolly - The Age
“But the bottom line remained that the Tigers were already 50 points in arrears when they finally stirred, and for all their third-quarter effort, still ended up losing by 71 after Collingwood restored the equilibrium with a thumping nine goals to two in the final term.”
“Swan goes into overdrive as Pies team on”
Greg Baum - The Age
“Swan is a one-pace player, but never slackens in that pace, never relaxes, nor does he look for twists and flourishes.”
