3. Andrew Swallow (NM)
2. Travis Cloke (Coll)
1. Steele Sidebottom (Coll)
Sidebottom's three goals and 21 disposals were deemed more influential than Swan and Pendlebury's combined 61 touches. Swallow had 34 and nine tackles for North Melbourne.

Round 2
Collingwood 17.15 (117) def. Carlton 15.10 (100)
3. Jamie Elliott (Coll)
2. Scott Pendlebury (Coll)
1. Marc Murphy (Carl)

Collingwood 13.12 (90) def. by Hawthorn 22.13 (145)
3. Luke Hodge (Hawthorn)
2. Dane Swan (Collingwood)
1. Lance Franklin (Hawthorn)
A terrific effort by Swan to poll (33 possessions, 10 clearances, 10 inside 50s) despite his side going down by 55 points.

Richmond 11.13 (79) def. by Collingwood 16.17 (113)
3. Travis Cloke (Collingwood)
2. Dane Swan (Collingwood)
1. Steele Sidebottom (Collingwood)
Cloke's career high seven goals made him stand out like a sore thumb. Swan had 35 in his 200th game and Sidebotton kicked four.

3. David Zaharakis (Essendon)
2. Jobe Watson (Essendon)
1. Steele Sidebottom (Collingwood)
The ANZAC Day Medallist fittingly came away with the three votes five months later. Sidebottom did well to poll (31 possessions, one goal, six tackles) in the heavy defeat.

3. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
2. Harry O'Brien (Collingwood)

3. Michael Walters (Fremantle)
2. Luke McPharlin (Fremantle)
1. Steele Sidebottom (Collingwood)
Walters had the Pies on toast with four goals and McPharlin rendered Cloke goalless. Sidebottom's consistency (33 possessions, one goal) again saw him rewarded with a vote.

Collingwood 15.12 (102) def. Geelong 14.12 (96)
3. Harry O'Brien (Collingwood)
2. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)

3. Adam Goodes (Sydney)
2. Daniel Hannebery (Sydney)
1. Nick Malceski (Sydney)
No Magpies came within cooee of a vote, and fair enough, too, considering the scoreline. Goodes had 30 plus three goals.

Brisbane 7.9 (51) def. by Collingwood 14.16 (100)
3. Dane Swan (Collingwood)
2. Darren Jolly (Collingwood)
1. Steele Sidebottom (Collingwood)
A nondescript game on the surface but Swan's 36 possessions and two majors are three vote material in anyone's language.

Round 11
Melbourne 5.9 (39) def. by Collingwood 17.20 (122)
3. Dane Swan (Collingwood)
2. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
1. Josh Thomas (Collingwood
Another Queen's Birthday sizzler for Swanny (39 touches and a goal to go with 42 and two in 2012) while Josh Thomas' seamless transition from the VFL to the AFL was capped off with a vote for his 27 possessions and two goals.

Round 12
Collingwood 15.9 (99) def. Western Bulldogs 9.11 (65)
3. Dane Swan (Collingwood)
2. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
1. Travis Cloke (Collingwood
Heath Shaw won the Bob Rose-Charlie Sutton Medal as best afield but still couldn't jag a vote. Swan's 38, Pendlebury's 35 and Cloke's five goals kept Heater in the cold.

Round 14
Port Adelaide 13.8 (86) def. Collingwood 7.9 (51)
3. Brad Ebert (Port Adelaide)
2. Matthew Broadbent (Port Adelaide)
1. Oliver Wines (Port Adelaide)
The Magpies didn't come within a bull's roar here. Broadbent's impressive year continued (34 possessions) while Ebert did his friend John McCarthy proud (30 possessions and a goal). Wines began as the substitute but still won 26 touches.

Round 15
Carlton 12.5 (77) def. by Collingwood 17.16 (118)
3. Dane Swan (Collingwood) 16
2. Ben Reid (Collingwood)

Swan's season-high 41 touches and Reid's successful switch into attack (four goals) did the trick.

Round 16
Collingwood v Adelaide
3. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
2. Dane Swan (Collingwood)
1. Tom Lynch (Adelaide)
A career-high 42 possessions for the vice-captain kept Swan's 31 and two goals at bay. Tom Lynch kicked four and had the ball 22 times for the Crows.

3. Gary Ablett (Gold Coast)
2. Jaeger O'Meara (Gold Coast)

Collingwood 15.16 (106) def. Greater Western Sydney 10.6 (66)
3. Dane Swan (Collingwood)
2. Jeremy Cameron (GWS)
1. Dayne Beams (Collingwood)
Swan could have had six if he'd kicked straight. Beams had 37 in his second game back from a quad strain. Cameron kicked seven (including five in the first half) for the vanquished.

Collingwood 20.13 (133) def. Essendon 7.12 (54)
3. Luke Ball (Collingwood)
2. Steele Sidebottom (Collingwood)
1. Ben Reid (Collingwood)

Sydney 10.11 (71) def. by Collingwood 14.16 (100)
3. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
2. Dane Swan (Collingwood)

Pendles (35 possessions and seven tackles) was purring while McVeigh gathered the ball 35 times for the Swannies.

Hawthorn 18.11 (119) def. Collingwood 12.12 (84)
3. Luke Hodge (Hawthorn)
2. Josh Gibson (Hawthorn)
1. Dane Swan (Collingwood)
Swan did brilliantly to snare a vote in the loss - his 35 possessions and eight clearances had something to do with that. Hodge had 28 and Gibson (21 touches) blanketed Reid.

Round 22
Collingwood 15.11 (101) def. West Coast 5.9 (39)
3. Josh Thomas (Collingwood)
2. Dane Swan (Collingwood)
1. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
JT was rewarded for his terrific first season in the senior side with three votes for his career-best 35 possessions and seven inside 50s. Pendlebury could only manage one despite having 37.

Round 23

3. Jack Ziebell (North Melbourne)
2. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
1. Ryan Bastinac (North Melbourne)
A match that better resembled circle work than a game of AFL football saw Pendlebury maintain his high standards (33 possessions and two goals) and two Roos throw their names up in the lights (Ziebell kicked four).
