Match report: Magnificent Magpies swoop to maul lethargic Lions
May 14, 2016 11:33 PM
COLLINGWOOD has released the pressure valve for at least a week, thumping a pathetic Brisbane Lions by 78 points at the Gabba on Saturday night.
In one of the worst showings in recent Lions history, the Magpies kicked the game's first eight goals and were never troubled, winning 20.23 (143) to 10.5 (65). The final score flattered the Lions.
Collingwood kicked 8.13 before the Lions registered their first point – a goal to Dayne Zorko at the 14-minute mark of the second quarter – and missed a host of gettable set shots throughout the night.
In a week when he copped a clip from former Pies mentor Mick Malthouse, Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley said the win was promising, but his team still had a lot to improve on.
"We played a really good half and we just got through the second half," Buckley said.
