Collingwood Magpies Outmuscle Sydney Swans

Their defensive structure resisted well as they suffocated the movement of Sydney’s ball and the ability to change the corners to make its way through the center.

Like a python, they started to strangle their prey with the swands unable to combine the pressure and intensity of the plate. Sydney started to force the problem and made mistakes that led to Collingwood scores. Occasionally they opened the Magpies, but it was rare.

The ball lived in the middle of Collingwood or was rejected by a sign of interception or loot, an accentuated domain when Joel Amarty hurt the knee tendon just before the interval. The injury will be scanned.

McRae praised the elevation of Long in midfield. “We believe in him enormously … it will be difficult to stop,” he said.

While the Magpies pushed their advantage at home during the third quarter, Sydney forward Tom McCartin in the desperate attempt to win a race within 50, but did not make a difference.

Collingwood did it without Nick Daicos who had an impact as usual as usual with James Jordon coming, as expected, with his clamps in his hand. The superstar has still worked hard to end with 34 sales and McRae has noticed that he had laid nine contrasts.

Brayden Maynard and Beau McCrery played their best games for the season while Steele Sidebottom and Darcy Cameron continued their exceptional form of the beginning of the season. The coach revealed that the revision of the end of the Magpies season observed that the team’s elderly had not had enough minutes allocated in their program to work on their profession, therefore they doubled on that aspect of the game.

In the end – having won the last six games in Adelaide Oval with a goal or not – they won comfortably, having 29 scores only 55 within 50 items. On the contrary, Sydney came across blind ends and one -way roads as if they were tourists who led for Harbour Town. The Swans managed only 18 stages of score from their 56 voices and their season hangs on a thread while waiting for reinforcements.

Collringwood heads to Brisbane to face Lions on Thursday evening in good shape while preparing to celebrate the 200th game of Jamie Elliott – which has been subjected to safeguard it for the occasion – while the Swans play in Port Adelaide in a preliminary final revenge that sees both sides in struggle.

McRae has reinforced post-games the message that delivered the pre-match.

“This is how you adapt to you and it is the system and the spirit with which we play. We seem really well connected and we want to be very proud of this,” said McRae.
