It`s all Greek to Malthouse
Collingwood and the Brisbane Lions may have been celebrating the AFL’s Heritage round – marking well
over 100 years of history - but Magpies coach Mick Malthouse was going much further back in history
in an attempt to explain his team’s 39-point loss at the MCG.

Pies left with work to do
The Brisbane Lions needed just one quarter of football on Saturday to show they are still the team
to beat for the 2003 premiership while at the same time exposing last year’s losing grand finalists
Collingwood as still short of flag-winning class.
