Collingwoodfc.com.au has tabled the key facts and figures that arose from the club’s 49-point win over Brisbane on Friday night.

Notable:
- Dane Swan came in for some mild criticism during the week after winning ‘only’ 23 possessions in last week’s loss to Sydney. Sure, it might have been his lowest tally since the 2011 Grand Final, but most players would leave the field well pleased with 23 touches to their name. He hit back hard like the champion he is against the Lions with a season-high 36 possessions and four tackles plus two goals. He has had 42, 38 and 32 possessions in his last three games against next week’s opponent. Watch out Melbourne.
- Debutant Kyle Martin has made a habit of notching big possession tallies in the VFL after graduating from the Eastern Football League at the end of 2011. He entered his first match with the wind at his back having kicked six goals, collected 29 possessions and laid tackles in the VFL against the Bombers last week. In his first run at senior level, the former Frankston Dolphin looked right at home in the No. 37, winning 19 possessions, laying six tackles and kicking two goals and two behinds. He definitely belongs at senior level.
- A statistical curiosity from Friday’s trip to the Gabba saw Collingwood return to the change rooms at half time on 9.7 (61) for the second time in as many meetings against the Lions (having done so in their last encounter back in round seven last season). A five goal final quarter saw the Pies home by 58 points in last year’s match. Twelve months on, they noticed a 49-point win.
- Collingwood has now won its last five games without Travis Cloke. The power forward, who leads Collingwood’s goal kicking (26 goals), missed his first game since round 18, 2010, when gastro forced him out of the side. The Magpies last loss without Cloke was against Carlton in round eight, 2009.
- Josh Thomas continues to quietly go about carving out a niche for himself in the Black and White engine room. His 25 possessions and five tackles come on top of his 24 possessions and six tackles in the VFL last week. The Queensland local also managed to push forward to kick the first goal of his senior career late in the first quarter.
