The stats so far.

Rantall 20
Poulter 15
Murphy 14
Brown 13

Henry with 2 goals

We need to get our act together otherwise these guys will run away with it.

Re Cox, i couldn't agree more.

McMahon gets a free down field on a very tight angle.

... but he hits the post. Collingwood by a point.

From the centre clearance, some good skill on display. Ginnivan with a lovely pickup and goal. Pies by 13.

Chugg has got more and more impressive the longer the game has gone. He can have Noble's spot any time they like.

Kelly is not an AFL-standard defender. He simply cannot play as a KPD.

Werribee are just 7 points behind.

But a great centre clearance (Cox to Tyler Brown) brings the ball to FF. After a scramble, it comes out to Poulter who kicks a magnificent left foot goal. Pies by 13.

Kelly with a stupid panic-punch when he should have marked comfortably - turns the ball over and Buzza just misses, keeping Collingwood's 2-goal lead intact.

But they get a goal anyway. Collingwood by just 6 points.

Henry kicks a point. Collingwood by 7.

A short high pass out of half back turns it over to Werribee. But the 'pies just do enough to clear, for a moment.
