Collingwoodfc.com.au breaks down the key statistics from Friday night’s 86-point win over St Kilda at Etihad Stadium.

Stats of Note
- The Magpies’ 86-point winning margin represented their biggest triumph over the Saints since round two, 1984, when they belted St Kilda by 93-points at Victoria Park. On that occasion, Mark Beers played the role of Alex Fasolo (four goals) while Ricky Barham, Peter Daicos and Tony Shaw each had 29 disposals – just as Josh Thomas did on Friday night.

- Speaking of Thomas, his 29 touches represented the second highest tally of his 24 game career. He’s every chance to receive a Brownlow vote on that showing, too, for he received at least one vote in two of the three games in which he recorded 27 or more disposals. Thomas’ 29 disposals marked his first haul of more than 17 disposals in five senior games this year, while his seven inside 50s were an equal game-high.

- It’s now two weeks in a row that Collingwood has run out the match better than its opponent. In their past two final quarters, the Magpies have kicked 13 goals and nine behinds to four goals and two behinds.

- In the past fortnight, Collingwood has lifted its goal kicking accuracy considerably. The Pies have kicked at 67.99 per cent efficiency, the best of any club in the competition. It is a marked turnaround from the first nine rounds, when they converted at just 51.1 per cent – the lowest of any club in the league.

- When you’re hot, you’re hot. Just ask Travis Cloke, who bounced back from a quiet patch to win 23 disposals and kick five goals from seven scoring shots. His 23 disposals was his highest return since he won 26 against Carlton in round 17, 2009.
