Magpies Storm In.
Blues Fold in 3rd Term.
In a rough game in which several players seemed likely to be reported, Collingwood gave Carlton, last year's premiers a football lesson at Carlton this afternoon. In a remarkable goal-kicking spree in the third quarter Collingwood kicked 77 points to Carlton's 2. They kicked 11 goals before Carlton scored a point.
Carlton powerless to stop Collingwood's third-quarter avalanche of goals looked like an inept junior side against a combined VFL team.
Scores: Collingwood: 5.3 9.8 21.13 23.15 (153)
Carlton: 6.5 10.7 10.9 13.11 (89)

'Did Anyone ever see such a team?
'Good old Collingwood forever....They know how to play the game....
Excuse me folks. I don't want to rub it in. But did antone ever see such a team before?
Collinwood 23.15.153 downed Carlton 13.11.89.
And the Magpies won the fight as well. They showed up the Blues as real Cheese Champs. Honestly I never saw better football in my life than Collingwood played in the third quarter. It was magnificent...stupendous...fantastic...superb...glorious. In fact is was GOOD.'
