"Dark cloud hangs over Pies, Dogs"
Mike Sheahan - Herald Sun
"WHEN they met in Round 1, the expectation was both teams would prove to be genuine premiership contenders."
"Pies not tossing in towel"
Jackie Epstein - Herald Sun
"T WAS the one that got away but Collingwood midfielder Dane Swan expects the Magpies to bounce back against the Western Bulldogs on Sunday."
"Tough time for tipsters as contenders look fragile"
Rohan Connolly - The Age
"Collingwood? The Magpies certainly have the credentials, but facts are they have lost their past two, face the Western Bulldogs on Sunday, and the much-lauded forward set-up that was booting cricket scores a few weeks back, has looked a lot less potent since."

The Age
