It was one of the best games of the modern era. Under Mick Malthouse, Collingwood had rapidly risen from perennial cellar dwellers of the late 1990s to one of the most dangerous sides in the competition. The match against the Brisbane Lions under the Colonial Stadium roof was to be the side's sternest test so far. Although the Pies had beaten Essendon on ANZAC Day, it would take a win against the premiers of 2001 before Collingwood could be declared the real deal.
And win it did. In outstanding fashion.
The start was fast and the Lions made the most of their purple patches to lead at both quarter and half time. Collingwood had threatened to get a run-on in both quarters, and burst from the blocks with the first two goals of the game to Scott Cummings and Anthony Rocca. Brisbane captain Michael Voss had been concussed by a stray Jonathon Brown forearm as he was tackled at a centre bounce in the opening minutes.
Half forward Rupert Betheras had the night of his life, kicking three goals in the second half to turn the game.
Collingwood put the foot down in the third quarter, kicking six goals to two to establish a 15-point lead at the final change. Nathan Buckley was outstanding, and in his 2008 autobiography All I Can Be described his mind as "in the zone" outlining the level of his performance.
Gutsy half forward Rupert Betheras nearly lifted the roof off Colonial Stadium with two late goals in the third term before following it up with a third major early in the last quarter.
But you could never write the Lions off during their 2001-2004 peak, and so it proved as they bombarded the goals in the final quarter. They frittered away several golden opportunities to kick 4.6 for the term as the Collingwood backline lead by Shane Wakelin, James Clement and Jason Cloke withstood the heat superbly.
Six Magpies who contributed to the victory (L-R): Steve McKee, Shane O'Bree, Scott Cummings, Jarrod Molloy, Paul Licuria and Ben Johnson.
The final siren sounded as Brisbane charged into attack once again, only for Cloke to snatch the game saving mark on the bell. Collingwood had won its sixth match for the season and shared top spot on the ladder with Brisbane after eight rounds.
Michael Voss gets tackled by Mark McGough early in the first quarter and doesn't see Jonathon Brown's accidental elbow coming in his direction.
The game, played in front of one of the Collingwood loudest crowds in memory, marked "the night the new Magpies came of age", according to Channel Ten commentator Stephen Quartermain.
Seventeen-year-old Mark McGough, on crutches after suffering what was thought to be a broken leg after a collision with Shaun Hart, is consoled by Anthony Rocca as the team leaves the ground triumphant.
One of Collingwood's finest hours. James Clement, Chris Tarrant, Shane Wakelin, Ben Johnson, Simon Prestigiacomo, Chris Tarrant and Nick Davis share their elation after the win.
Mark McGough, Mick Malthouse, Brodie Holland and Nathan Buckley lead the side in a rousing rendition of Good Old Collingwood Forever.
President Eddie McGuire can't hide his excitement in the circle after the match.
Little did they all know that four months later the two sides would face each other on the last Saturday of September. Nathan Buckley and Michael Voss hold the 2002 premiership cup aloft on the steps of the State Treasury Building at the end of the Grand Final parade. Only 24-hours later, the Magpies, rank underdogs, came within nine-points of a premiership.
