Collingwood spearhead Travis Cloke has booted a career-high seven goals to guide the Magpies to a 34 point win over Richmond at the MCG on Saturday.

The Magpies haven't lost a game to the Tigers since round 19, 2007, and they kept that record intact, winning 16.17(113) to 11.13 (79).

The Magpies trailed by three points at half-time, but Cloke turned it on after the main change.

Two 50 metre penalties saw Cloke boot the first two goals of the third quarter, and the game's tempo skyrocketed.

A monster grab against Alex Rance had Cloke fired up, and he delivered his third straight goal of the quarter to put the Pies up by 16 points.

The Tigers reacted by making their substitution, removing Shane Tuck and injecting Brandon Ellis.

But the Magpies kept the pressure up, bringing their own fresh legs on, with Dale Thomas replacing Josh Thomas within minutes of the Tigers change.

With the crowd involved, Cloke continued his rampage inside 50 metres, sinking an impressive goal from the boundary to take his game tally to six.

Richmond midfielder Steven Morris lost his cool, with a high bump on Dane Swan in the middle.

A push and shove in the centre square ensued.

It was the second time Morris collected a Magpie high, after delivering a high shepherd on Jamie Elliott in the second quarter.

The forward was left dazed, but recovered to play out the game.

Both incidents are likely to be looked at by the Match Review Panel.

Capping off a brilliant third term, Jamie Elliott launched for a magnificent pack mark, which resulted in a goal to extend the Pies lead to 49.

At this stage, the Tigers were still yet to register at statistic inside their own 50 metres for the quarter.

Adding to the distress for the Tigers, Troy Chaplin was forced out of the game thanks to friendly fire, having received a knock to the head by teammate Chris Knights.

Magpie Jordan Russell also copped a hit to the head, after Trent Cotchin attempted to spoil a mark in the last term.

The Tigers made a late charge, and the momentum swung their way early in the last thanks to a 50 metre penalty against Heath Shaw. Ivan Maric took advantage, kicking the goal to reduce the margin to 22 points.

But Dane Swan provided the steadying goal in his 200th game, while Cloke notched his seventh to put the result beyond doubt.

For the Tigers, Cotchin was the most damaging player to three quarter time, with 24 touches and three tackles.

Jack Riewoldt languished inside the forward 50 in the second half, but still registered 3 goals.

Despite a strong start to the game, the Tigers lacked composure going forward, allowing the Magpies to stay within striking distance.

Steele Sidebottom emerged as a vital cog in the Magpies charge with four goals to his name.

The Magpies made one late change to the selected side, with Brent Macaffer coming in for Tyson Goldsack.

Nathan Brown hobbled off the field in the last term, with early reports suggesting he has an adductor issue which could put him in doubt for the club's Anzac Day clash with Essendon.
