How McRae convinced McStay to choose Collingwood and not be a ... (SEN)

While the key forward says he always wanted to be a one-club player with Brisbane, he changed his mind to join the Magpies after meeting with coach Craig McRae ...

After playing in front of 147,339 fans in his first two games in black and white, McStay says the Magpie army is like playing with a 19th man such is the support they give. Perhaps the biggest change for McStay was moving from a club in a non-traditional football state to the biggest in the land with Collingwood. McStay has goaled in both of his games so far for the Magpies, both of those coming in big wins against the Cats and Power.

Collingwood v Port Adelaide - The Big Questions - The Mongrel Punt (The Mongrel Punt)

The Pies were dominant, putting the game to rest by the main break. HB has the Big Questions stemming from their win over Port Adelaide.

The only way you can ensure you get the story is to become a Mongrel member. And how would the midfields match up, with the Pies so balanced and powerful, and the Power possessing a Brownlow Medallist of their own, as well as the returning “heart and soul” of the team, Travis Boak. Sometimes he releases them to all after a day or so.

Team concerned as MCG boos young star (NEWS.com.au)

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley suggested 'Melbourne doesn't like' Jason Horne-Francis after a ruthless occurrence at the MCG. 3 min read.

We forget he’s 19, and at stages he’s had a lot of media coverage so early in his career.” Elliott was quickly back to his feet and nabbed the goal, but Burton will face a nervous wait ahead of the showdown against Adelaide on Saturday night. It was the exact kind of “chaos game” Port coach Hinkley said during the week his players were preparing for, but the Power had no answers for the Magpies’ firepower as they stormed to a 49-point halftime lead off the back of 10 individual goalkickers. “Melbourne maybe doesn’t like him as a town, I don’t know. The Magpies attacked ruthlessly to kick the Power out of the game inside the first half with a chain of nine unanswered goals, while their forward-half pressure was intense and left the Power looking listless as they searched for a way up the field. Port skipper Ollie Wines also criticised the crowd for their actions against a player still finding his way as a player and as a man.

Daicos dynamite as Pies down Power to establish benchmark (The Age)

Collingwood scorched Port Adelaide by 71 points at the MCG on Saturday and are now the team to beat, according to Power coach Ken Hinkley.

He dominated in his customary role on a wing, having eight touches and more than 200m gained alone in the first term. [Jon Pierik](/by/jon-pierik-hveju)is a sports journalist at The Age. The sharpshooter was awarded a free kick, and goaled from 25m. Ruckman Darcy Cameron was superb in the ruck, clearly having the better of a proppy Scott Lycett. Horne-Francis, booed at every opportunity by Magpies supporters, had only four touches and 29m gained in the first term. Jones had one touch to quarter-time, but Daicos still had nine, cleverly being used as the kick in to help break the tag. The evenness of the Pies was reinforced in that their opening nine goals were from different sources. “We have seen the benchmark, as far as early in the season. His ability to create was on show in a classic give and go with Scott Pendlebury in the third term, which led to a brilliant Daicos goal. The Power had Lachie Jones run a hard tag on Daicos, but it failed. Daicos, having accepted the pass lace out, put the afterburners on, and delivered a running goal from 40 metres. Daicos was almost unstoppable in a best-on-ground effort, shedding two tags on his way to 32 disposals, including two goals.

AFL Round 2 Nick Daicos stars as Collingwood Magpies smash Port ... (ESPN)

Collingwood coach Craig McRae expects Nick Daicos to attract plenty more taggers but has backed his young star to handle the extra attention after his ...

"I said to Nick this is probably coming and we want to support him as a team ... Hinkley called on Travis Boak to give his side a lift, injecting the veteran into the game as the substitute early in the third quarter, and the visitors narrowly won the term. Daicos started the game in his customary role at half-back and had periods on a wing and through the midfield as he tried to shake his taggers. Josh Daicos (26 disposals, two goals) also had a big say as he featured in the Magpies' dominant midfield with Tom Mitchell (27 disposals, eight clearances), Steele Sidebottom (24, three), Jack Crisp (22, three), Taylor Adams (20, six) and Pendlebury (20, six). Collingwood dominated contested possession (+57) and clearances (+13), and even won the tackle count (+18) in a sign of their intense pressure around the ball. Daicos brushed off opponents Lachie Jones and Sam Powell-Pepper, and kicked a goal that would make his mercurial father proud, in the Magpies' 21.9 (135) to 9.10 (64) victory at the MCG.
