MAGPIE MAGIC: Elliott's post-siren goal makes NINTH straight win most epic yet.
But Jones ‘shot hit the post as Collingwood got one last roll of the dice for victory from a kick in, with the Pies going coast to coast as Elliott marked the ball from 40m out on the boundary line. Guelfi continued the Bombers’ charge in the fourth quarter with the opening major of the term to take a 20-point lead. Kyle Langford booted the next goal for the Bombers to give them their first lead of the contest in a stunning turnaround, while Draper brought the house down after a banana goal before celebrating appropriately, with Nicholson noting they was in “total control.” But the Bombers responded in the second quarter through the first two majors to Peter Wright and Harry Jones to bring it back to a 24-point game. Essendon picked up where it left off to open the second half, with Wright missing a set shot before Nic Martin nailed his opportunity to bring it back to a seven-point game, while Sam Draper continued to assert his presence around the ground in a strong showing from the Bombers ruckman.

Moments later McGovern flew into a pack to contest a mark and was hurt, spending the last few minutes of the first half hunched over. Toby Greene could have put GWS in front midway through the third quarter but failed to score with an around-the-corner kick after marking 30 metres from goal on a slight angle. The only downside for Collingwood was a shoulder injury to Brayden Maynard, with the ace defender subbed out early in the last quarter. The Blues led by just three points at half-time but put a break on the visitors during the third term and pulled clear for a 13.12 (90) to 8.6 (54) victory at Docklands. After flying out of the blocks with the first six goals to lead by 37 points at quarter-time, Collingwood conceded 11 of the next 13 to Essendon as the Bombers grabbed a 21-point buffer in the final term. Jamie Elliott has kicked Collingwood into the AFL's top-four after nailing a difficult after-the-siren goal to defeat Essendon in a four-point thriller.

Wonder was the applicable word at the MCG on Sunday as the Magpies established a six-goal lead over Essendon, gave it all up to trail by 21 points early in the ...
It was unscientific, but effective, and led eventually to a steadying goal as the Pies bundled the ball at breakneck speed down the corridor. Somehow, the Pies kicked the last four goals of the match. But that was all she said for the Magpies. The change when it came in the second quarter was as sudden and bracing as the arrival of a cold front. No free kick was paid, the crowd howled, the game went on. For the Bombers, there was a series of centre clearances, and that was it. In the third quarter, it was more of the same. Now it was the Magpies who were made to look like incidentals. The problem was not lack of incoming ball, but its tardiness. What a cross the AFL has made for umpires to bear. There was Josh Daicos’ submission for goal of the year, in which he handballed around an opponent to himself, took two bounces along the boundary line before stepping inboard to score. Wonder was the applicable word at the MCG on Sunday as the Magpies established a six-goal lead over Essendon, gave it all up to trail by 21 points early in the last quarter, then when seemingly out on their feet came again for a four-point win. From the kick-in, Collingwood whisked the ball the length of the ground for Elliott to mark between two defenders 50 metres out on the boundary.

That was unbelievable." Harrison Jones had a chance to seal the game for Essendon with less than a minute on the clock, but a set shot hit the post and Collingwood hurtled back down the field. In front of a raucous 72,402-strong crowd at the MCG, the dangerous Magpies forward had a set shot after the siren to clinch victory over Essendon and nailed his task.
Craig McRae has helped turn Collingwood from an on-field basket case to everyone's new second team, writes Damian Barrett.
Geelong wouldn't be top of the ladder without Cameron. But he wouldn't be having a career-best year without his new teammates. From the 2019 rookie draft, Geelong secured Tom Atkins, who at nearly 27 years of age, is getting better and better with every match, now that he has assumed starting-midfield responsibilities. In his 11th season, and second for the Cats, Cameron is compiling his most impactful AFL season. Securing Cameron from GWS after the 2020 season required the use of a staggering three NAB AFL Draft picks inside the top 20. It secured the Pies’ ninth consecutive win in what is the most compelling storyline of the season. Everyone on the Pies list is considered equal to the next player.
COLLINGWOOD has done it again. The Magpies won another thriller on Sunday, thanks largely to the heroics of Jamie Elliott, who kicked the match-winner from ...
Sparked by a lift in pressure in the middle, it was a complete reversal of fortunes in the second term as the Bombers hit back with five goals to one to trail by just 13 points at half-time. Collingwood burst out of the blocks with six unanswered goals in the first term, with 2021 mid-season draftee Johnson nailing three of them and Josh Daicos launching a magnificent Goal of the Year contender. COLLINGWOOD has pulled off a miraculous final-quarter comeback to sink Essendon by four points on the siren at the MCG.
Essendon's leaders and coaches have come under fire from Fox Footy's First Crack team for its late game management of Sunday's epic four-point loss to ...
“This is on the Essendon leaders for me, and I can’t just walk past this one, this is absolute coaching, this is situational training. Former Hawthorn sharpshooter Ben Dixon added: “I couldn’t agree with you more, those leaders were a deer in the headlights. “This is on the lack of awareness for this football club.
'How do they keep doing it!?' Pies' 'miracle' last minute that decided INSANE win.
Western Bulldogs legend Brad Johnson added: “How does this team seriously keep doing it in the last quarter!? “Jamie Elliott has won the game of footy for this famous club! Hats off to them, that was spectacular,” Fox Footy’s Sarah Jones said post-match. “Ice in the veins of Jamie Elliott ... completely nuts.” Moore didn’t hesitate to play on, galloping forward and finding a wide open Trent Bianco on the wing. They’re miracle men being able to win these close ones time after time.
'I didn't hear it': Match-winning star's stunning admission as huge call made on Pies' flag charge.
“This is now riding a wave of emotion and momentum that can carry for two months. “I‘m a bit speechless, to be honest. I hope there’s not footage of me on the bench when the siren goes. “To be honest I didn’t hear it. I kicked it pretty sweet.” Elliott said McRae has “instilled a belief” in the side this season, which led to his conversion of a shot McRae himself admitted was long odds to go through for a goal.
Collingwood president Jeff Browne has indicated the club could seek clarity from the AFL over the officiating of Jack Ginnivan after a contentious tackle ...
How can we think ‘the AFL cares about concussions and head high contact’ after this.” How can one player be umpired differently to the rest of the opposition? It’s clear now he’s absolutely being umpired differently. That’s all it was. I think it’s wrong. “We know the umpires have been told the interpretation but it seems to me this youngster has been, not crucified, but he is the one they are after and I think the club should be pretty hard on going to them and saying this is unfair and what will be the situation in the future and what will happen with the umpire with a decision like that?

"We won't make blame, or excuses around things. "The AFL has persecuted a player on a whim and now has again opened up umpires to embarrassment due to this Ginnivan interpretation." - Collingwood president Jeff Browne said the club would "speak up" about treatment of Jack Ginnivan
Collingwood president Jeff Browne says the club is seeking a response from the league over a head-high tackle on Jack Ginnivan on Sunday, while a triple ...
Watching him on the field is like a masterclass for an AFL coach. Sign up for the Real Footy newsletter. On-field, the midfielder-forward showed a real consistency in his performance. “To be honest, I thought that was a free kick. Not just on-field but a little bit off-field at the moment,” he said. How can we think “the AFL cares about concussions and head high contact” after this.” We need to clarify this with the umpires, no question about that. “I am really clear with it. I don’t think there was any leaning into it,” McRae said. In my opinion, it was a free kick but I could be wrong.” “The health and safety of players is the primary concern of both the AFL and the clubs, and we will continue to work with clubs, their coaching panels, as well as players to ensure the safety of the game,” he said. It has become personal.”
Collingwood has won their ninth game in a row with an after-the-siren Jamie Elliott goal securing the Magpies an 80-76 victory over Essendon on Sunday at ...
While they’ll be thrilled to have nine straight victories to their name, the Magpies will be sweating on the fitness of Maynard, while Mason Redman was a casualty for Essendon with the defender being subbed out after falling heavily late in the second quarter. Just as the Magpies looked down and out though, they’d begin to get much of their run back out of defence, transitioning the footy with ease to give their forwards opportunities. Kicking five goals to one in the third term, the Bombers were well and truly on top as Sam Draper began making his mark on the contest as a Brodie Grundy-less Collingwood couldn’t go with the ruckman in the air. Things got even grimmer for the Pies in that term as defender Brayden Maynard went down into the rooms with a shoulder injury and he’d fail to re-emerge for the rest of the clash. That began after the first break, with the Dons kicking the first five goals of the second quarter as they began to dominate at the stoppage, seemingly winning every clearance as the Magpies struggled to get first use. Much will be made of the last minute of the clash, with Essendon’s Harrison Jones hitting the post from 40 metres out straight in front as the clock wound down, handing the ball back to Collingwood at the opposite end of the ground.
