Every morning collingwoodfc.com.au will publish ‘Pies in Print’ which will keep Magpie supporters informed on what is being written about the club in major papers around the country.
"Magpies do enough for win on the scoreboard"
Greg Baum - The Age
“WHEN the going was at its best for Collingwood, as Alan Didak steered through another goal to put the Magpies more than seven goals in front midway through the third quarter, Leon Davis stood behind Lindsay Gilbee on the mark, hands on knees, looking not at the goals but at Didak.”
“When will the 'real' Bulldogs come to play?”
Jake Niall - The Age
“The Pies moved the ball with both greater speed and precision; if anything, the Dogs were fortunate to be as close as six goals at the final break, having conceded eight goals in the third quarter.”
“Pies put teasers in their place”
Mark Stevens - Herald Sun
“The Pies still led by 43 two minutes into the final term after Dane Swan kicked a ridiculously easy goal from a Darren Jolly hitout, and the result seemed elementary.”
“Davis and Carringbush back from hell”
Mark Robinson - Herald Sun
“On the flip side, the Magpies were absolutely mighty in their demolition of the Bulldogs in the first three quarters, yet almost succumbed to the same affliction that ails the Bulldogs, albeit in reverse.”
“Sting in Dogs' tail”
Mike Sheahan - Herald Sun
“As it happened, Collingwood beat the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium last night, yet would have gone home only marginally happier.”
“Rodney Eade pleads with players”
Bruce Matthews - Herald Sun
“Eade said he noted how his team became reactive after a couple of early mistakes and only adopted their normal attacking style in the final quarter to score the last six goals but fall an agonising 10 points short in a fast finish that shook the Magpies at Etihad Stadium.”
“High-flying Collingwood outguns sliding Western Bulldogs”
Courtney Walsh - The Australian
“THE premiership hopes of the Western Bulldogs, so giddy in March, are in peril halfway through the season after Collingwood held off a stunning final-term charge to win by 10 points at Etihad Stadium last night.”
