Match report: Proud Pies ambush Giants in huge upset
July 9, 2016 4:12 PM
COLLINGWOOD has put the top eight on notice that the finals race is not over with an outstanding 32-point win over a disappointing Greater Western Sydney.
The Magpies recovered from a slow opening term to overrun their opponents at Spotless Stadium on Saturday to post a comfortable 19.11 (125) to 14.9 (93) victory in front of 13,483 fans, displaying some of the irresistible form their supporters were hoping to see from the start of the 2016 campaign.
Travis Cloke finished with 12 marks and four goals for Collingwood, while Jesse White kicked three and provided good support in the ruck alongside Brodie Grundy, was best on ground with 28 hit-outs, six clearances and 26 possessions.
It was the Magpies' third victory in as many matches and leaves them at seven wins and eight losses with seven games to go. Of their seven remaining games, five are against teams currently inside the eight.
