With the game in the balance, Collingwood has continued to find a way.
They did so by taking the less fashionable path to goal.
Instead of hitting up leading forwards, the Collingwood midfielders put the ball in a dangerous spot – 30m in front of the big sticks, dead in front.
Lo and behold, their teammates were able to pounce on the loose ball and snap truly.
Four goals came in almost identical fashion during the third term – Tim Membrey snapped truly, then Ned Long, then Sam Swadling and then Membrey again.
The hapless Blues defenders could only watch on in frustration.
