Five talking points: Jack's box of tricks on show on the big stage (AFL)

Jack Ginnivan reignited the Magpies after they kicked nine straight behinds through the middle of the match.

There were a few questions around how Collingwood's midfield would cope without the industrious Taylor Adams, who suffered a complete rupture of his adductor in last week's loss to Geelong. It meant the Dockers were unable to take advantage of the undersized Howe against Rory Lobb, with Lachie Schultz (two goals and one assist) the most dangerous forward in the first half. Elliott's busyness meant Ryan was also limited in how much drive he could provide from defence, contributing to the Dockers' stagnant ball movement down the field.

Collingwood midfielder Jack Crisp set the Magpies alight in their semi-final, stepping into the spotlight alongside Scott Pendlebury and Jordan De Goey.

When he did have time to think he hit teammates on the move, often the brutal Jamie Elliott at the end of his passes. While De Goey stepped out of more tackles than a clumsy fisherman to be best on ground, it was Crisp who set the game alight with his run. De Goey and Pendlebury’s class was apparent, the pair’s kicking skills sublime, with De Goey kicking a goal on the outside of his foot when he had no time to think.
