Game back on their terms now, Dogs winning the hard ball and generating repeat entries

We seem to give away too many goals from snaps in congestion or stoppages, it's not just a VFL thing either.

Gallucci misses a dribble kick he really should have gobbled up. Doubtless, Dunstall will be all over that one... if someone leaks him the footage, that is...

Siren.

Half Time.

Footscray 5.5.35
Collingwood 4.4.28

GOALS - Crocker, Borthwick, Jarryd Blair, McLarty

Yep.

Skills have noticeably dropped away again too. We're back playing trench warfare turnover footy, and that suits the Dogs just fine...

Wonderful coverage, as always, Mr Magpie Bat.

Its great for the development of a winning culture at Collingwood that the Seconds share in the spoils of victory.

I trust that in years to come, the games being put into our young fellows in 2018 will bear fruit at Senior level.

Even with so many out and playing at their home ground, it seems we are putting up a strong effort

Collingwood trail by 8 points as we start the 2nd half here at a sunny Whitten Oval...

How's Murray going , did he even plat mate

Honeychurch marks loose 45 out from their sticks and duly slots the first goal of the second half...

28-42

He's playing. Been rather ordinary...

Second goal in as many minutes for the home team, they kick away again...

28-48

(There was a small adjustment to the scores at HT, the Dogs went from 35 to 36)...

You remember that 10 minute period in the 2nd term where our skills lifted considerably? Good times...

Murphy wins a 50 for encroachment that brings him to the HFF.

Pumps it long, marking contest, it comes to the front, Crcoker feeds it back to Borthwick, we raffle it around, Hetherington snaps... GOAL!

We needed that!

34-49
