Pies bring Giants down to earth
The Australian – 15/06/15
Greg Denham

Magpies ‘better this year’
The Age – 15/06/15
Michael Gleeson

A painful lesson
The Age – 15/06/15
Peter Hanlon
“Anticipation wrapped itself around this contest to a degree previously unknown for a game involving the competition’s young team in orange. A sunny Sunday afternoon, Collingwood, a place in the top four up for grabs. It’s a scenario everyone knew was coming, and like a train running ahead of time, here it was.”

Magpies expect Thomas and Keeffe to get two-year bans
The Age – 15/06/15
“Collingwood chief executive Gary Pert says it appears likely Lachlan Keeffe and Josh Thomas will be suspended for two years on anti-doping breaches, but stressed the club had deliberately stayed at arm’s length from the legal process that will decide their fate.”

And while I’m at it…
The Age – 15/06/15
Rohan Connolly
“The sceptics are going to keep coming for Collingwood, and this week there will be several reasons for the cynicism you’re going to keep hearing… Of course we’re going to have a better idea how far Collingwood can go this year once they’ve negotiated their next four games. But it’s a challenge the Magpies couldn’t be better placed for.”

The Age – 15/06/15

Bucks: we’re a better outfit
Herald Sun – 15/06/15

Treloar off Pie radar
Herald Sun – 15/06/15
Jon Ralph

It’s not black and white
Herald Sun – 15/06/15
Mark Robinson
“This time last year, Collingwood was 8-3 and rolling towards finals. Injuries beset it, the kids weren’t ready and the Magpies stumbled to a demoralising 3-8 finish and September was for holidays.”

Pies earn extra credit
Herald Sun – 15/06/15
Jon Ralph
“Soft draw. Played no one. Lucky wins. Charmed run with injuries. The critics have found reasons such as those above to discount Collingwood’s progress this season.”

Adams career on line again
Herald Sun – 15/06/15
