After five wins in a row, Collingwood's streak came to an end at the SCG.
Battling for a position in the top four, there was a lot on the line against the Swans.
It unfortunately was not our day, but there were plenty of positive signs.
Finn Macrae once again was a star, with 30 disposals, two goals and five tackles.
His speed in the midfield and ability to convert has been extremely influential.
Other major ball winners for the day were Campbell Hustwaite, Trey Ruscoe and Lachlan Tardrew.
Sam Glover was once again reliable in the forward line kicking three goals.
Macrae finished with two goals whilst Ashwin, Blacmore-Moore, Hartley and Murley all finished with one.
Jack Madgen was not as accurate in front of goal as last week, however, ended the match with a team high of seven marks.
The margin was only ever as high as 20, occuring in the first quarter.
Collingwood were within a kick or two throughout the game, with Macrae's last goal closing the margin to four.
A rushed behind in the last minute was the final score for the day, with the margin at full time only three points.
Collingwood will take on Carlton next Sunday at the MCG as part of another double header with the AFL.
The match will begin at 11.45am at the MCG and will be streamed on Channel 7.
