On close finishes

"There wouldn't be too many Collingwood supporters who turn the TV off at three quarter time, I wouldn't have thought."

"We don't want to be in that position every week but we're finding ways to win - this group has a real will to win.

"You need a little bit of luck... but there's a lot of good decisions being made at critical times."

SP350

"All year we've had this mantra of honouring the jumper, the past Collingwood greats."

"Every time we have a debutant we talk about honouring the jumper.

"Today we talked about honouring Pendles - the guy who has worn the jumper more than any other person in the history of our club."

Crows defensive pressure

"The last six weeks their pressure has been as good as anyone in the competition."

"That part of their game is going really well and will keep them really competitive.

"We were well aware of what was coming - they are the number one pressure team in the comp."

Nick Daicos

"He just seems to be going to another level."

"He had 40 (disposals) today and kicked three - he's a first year player, it's unbelievable.

"The coaches upstairs moved him forward and that was one of their best decisions today.

"Nick is having an outstanding season and he just seems to be getting better every week.

"I'd seen him kick these classy goals at training and thought, 'jeez it would be nice to move him forward.'

"Now you've seen the benefit of that."
