Two ugly marking contests marred the first half of Brisbane's clash with Collingwood at The Gabba.

Gardiner leapt into the back of Daicos and tucked his arm to dig his shoulder into his opponent. "The ball wasn't within reach of Cox," Matthews said. But Cox - who did not even attempt to get a hand near the ball - leapt off the ground and aimed his knee straight at the back of his opponent.

And Darcy Gardiner was going to be there too late and he just kept going. Just a total brain fade. Sports reporter Mark Gottlieb said: “Not like Gardiner at all.

BRISBANE has proven too strong for a brave Collingwood outfit, winning by seven points in an Easter Thursday thriller at the Gabba.

He thumped the ball high, long and straight and celebrated his first goal in Brisbane colours by being mobbed by his teammates. It's been five years since Marcus Adams kicked a goal in the AFL, but he broke the drought in fine style during the third term. He finished with 33 for the night to continue a fine start to 2022. Scott Pendlebury lined up alongside Neale at the first bounce and probably had the better of the battle in the first quarter, racking up eight disposals to Neale's four (and a goal). However, Brisbane's milestone man got on top in the second term and gathered 14 touches in a defining quarter. The reliable Lion was reported for rough conduct and will now await his fate. After trailing at quarter-time, the Lions put the foot down with a six-goal second term and managed to keep the Magpies at bay in front of 32,312 fans to win 15.8 (98) to 14.7 (91).

A lot of these things aren’t long-term injuries and you can sub them out now.” It was a special night for both Jeremy Howe and Lachie Neale as well, who both played their 200th game on the same evening in front of a pulsating crowd in Brisbane. But the Lions struck back in the second quarter, piling on the pressure and kicking five straight goals to take a 13-point lead into the main break. Lachie Neale was dominant in the second quarter, as he ran riot with 15 touches as part of a 19-disposal first half, on his way to a 33-touch game. Darcy Gardiner could be sighted by the MRO after he was reported for a late bump on Josh Daicos in the first quarter, shoving him under the ball after he took a mark inside 50. Pies ruckman Darcy Cameron was substituted at three quarter time, with John Noble coming on and Darcy Moore being shifted forward as coach Craig McRae spun the magnets with a quarter to play.
