De Goey back in for the Pies, Mihocek and Maynard out. A top 4 spot potentially looms for the Dogs, if they were to knock off the Premiership favourites here, but they're also not safe from potentially falling out of the 8 either. Weightman kicks the opener for the Dogs and the second as well. The Pies fail to get on the board until late in the term, Nick Daicos with good defensive effort. The Dogs up 9 at quarter-time. Naughton takes a good grab and converts, the Dogs take a handy lead with Ugle-Hagan marking the ball well. Collingwood not putting much on the scoreboard, before Elliott kicks back to back goals, the Dogs up by just 5 at halftime. De Goey goals from the angle to put the Pies ahead early in the 3rd, followed by back to back goals by the Daicos boys. Collingwood kicks away late in the 3rd, up 25 going into the last. The Pies with an explosive start in the 4th and it's pretty much over. The Bulldogs cut into the margin, but the Pies home 12 points. Collingwood were ahead in the hit-outs, the Dogs +3 in the clearances, with an equal amount of the footy, but 14 less tackles. The Dogs with 7 more inside 50's, for 1 less scoring shot. Nick Daicos best afield, with 29 disposals, 11 clearances, 5 inside 50's, 6 tackles, 439 metres gained and 2 goals. De Goey 23 disposals, 5 clearances, 6 inside 50's, 5 tackles, a goal and 2 assists. Quaynor 27 disposals, 2 contested marks and 10 intercepts. Elliott 4 goals and an assist. For the Dogs, Liberatore 28 disposals, 11 clearances, 5 inside 50's and an assist. Naughton 3 contested marks, 4 goals and an assist. Weightman 17 disposals, 4 goals and an assist. Ugle-Hagan 16 disposals, 3 contested marks, 2 goals and an assist.
