Yet another thriller

"I don't know what to say, I really don't," Fly said in his post-match presser.

"Watching this group... I'm speechless. We found another way to win."

"I tried to find a quiet space to myself to take it all in."

On the belief

"This is a unique thing - no one has won as many close games in the history of the game."

"It's quite remarkable really.

"At some stage we will sit back and just admire.

(On ranking the close wins) "I thought the Essendon one was next level but this was pretty close."

"I didn't tell the players but there was a moment where I thought, 'if the Blues get one of these goals we're done.'

"This group is the best I've ever seen at being able to play the minutes and manage the moments."

Second last to top four

"We get an opportunity to play two finals... we will see what comes of it."

"We've just got to get the games close.

"When you look at the stats sheet, we are getting smashed in all the numbers.

"If we keep the game close this group is going to believe they can get it done."

Coaching from the bench

"I like to be really measured when things aren't working for us and celebrate when things go right."

"There will be some footage of me celebrating tonight."

Ginnivan

"He was a chance not to play and all week he's been thinking, 'is my body going to get through this?'"

"He kept himself available."

"All the hours and hours he did to prepare and get himself up to play, we gave him a massive pat on the back for that."

Forward efficiency

"Certainly we've had moments where we've connected really well."

"We learnt from last week (when we were not so efficient up forward).

"It's part and parcel of the game, you need to execute."

A great day for Collingwood

"Today's a great day for our footy club."

"We had a year (in 2021) we wanted to make amends for."

"No one in their wildest dreams thought we would have made top four and our VFL side is in the top six...we're going to enjoy the moment for now."
