Match report: Magpies hand Dockers a huge heave-ho
June 24, 2016 10:15 PM
AT THE start of this season, Friday night's fixture between Collingwood and Fremantle – on paper at least – would have read as an important clash.
The Magpies, armed with new recruits, entered the year as one of the teams tipped to be on the rise and the Dockers, last year's minor premiers, were primed for another premiership tilt. Or so we thought.
But for the 20,320 fans who braved the chill at the MCG to watch the game, there would have been no expectations of September success upon leaving the venue.
The Magpies won comfortably by 48 points but the only thing colder than Melbourne's weather was Fremantle's performance.
The 12.13 (85) to 5.7 (37) score line represented the flat nature of the contest, which was all but over at quarter-time after Collingwood's early dominance, and very nearly sealed by the half-time break when the Pies led by 40 points with Fremantle stuck on just one goal.
