COLLINGWOOD has cruised to its third straight victory, spoiling the milestone night of former coach Mick Malthouse with a 75-point thumping of a lacklustre Carlton at the MCG on Friday night.
Malthouse coached his 715th VFL/AFL game to break a record set by former Collingwood coach Jock McHale that had stood for 66 years, but the triple-premiership mentor had little to smile about as the Pies ran rampant in the 18.12 (120) to 6.9 (45) result.
Collingwood improved its record to 4-1 for the season and continued to take advantage of a favourable early draw, with three of those wins coming over St Kilda, the Brisbane Lions and Carlton, teams unlikely to figure in finals contention this season.

The Blues were beaten in possessions (375-297) but also tackles (81-47), and looked a dysfunctional outfit as they slumped to 1-4.
