Tricky. The wind is coming across the ground, north east to south west, so it's not quite favouring one end per say the way the ground has been re-oriented, but having said that, anyone who has watched plenty of VFL knows that the scoreboard end has historically been the scoring end of Eureka Stadium, so it can't hurt to be kicking that way.
We'll have that end in the last, so if we baten down the hatches here in the third, the game is ours to lose... |
Thanks, MB. I was kind of hoping that wasn't the case, given the way the boys have been falling away some weeks in the last quarter. As you say, though, if they hold the opposition in the third, the 'pies should be able to hang on, with a helpful breeze. |

Collingwood lead by 20 points, as we start the 2nd half at a windy, yet now rainless Eureka Stadium...

Goldsack back into defence, his man Keeble marks in front down low... and nails it from 50m out slight angle...
29-15

Marley wins a free in the middle.
Plays on, nice little trademark side-step, but he lets loose with a mung inside the 50, Gault almost doesn't realise it's coming, but he marks anyway!
Decides to chip across 50, finds Lane.
From 45m, 35d... GOAL!!!
35-15

And that goal of Lane's was the first to the Midland Highway end in the match...

Stoppage at HFF, 65 from home.
Stephenson won it down, but Borthwick does the roving, loops it out to Wills, Rupe unloads a tumbler towards the goal square, foot race on, Crocker can't soccer it... BUT DOLLY GRAY CAN!
41-16

And as I type the above, Collingwood clear it back inside 50 from the centre bounce again, Gray affects the tackle... ILLEGAL DISPOSAL, free kick!
Gray, from 35m 45d... GOAL!
Two in a minute for Dolly, two in a minute for the Pies!
47-16

Oxley intercept marks at HFF, sends it screaming back inside to 50, Crocker spoils from behind, then butters up to tackle, pops out to Ferguson, who snaps to the goal line, Wills marks!
From 15, almost 90 degrees... Rupe goes the Stevie J... and GOALS!!!
61-16

I should note, during that burst, the wind had eased up somewhat. It's now picked up again and the Roosters have it more or less penned in their half again...
