Gruzewski nails an important goal for the Giants\"Chris<\/p>\n

GRUUUUUUUUU<\/p>\n

A much-needed goal for the Giants as Max Gruzewski is the beneficiary of a 50m penalty.<\/p>\n

This match is eerily similar to last night’s clash where the Cats couldn’t quite put the Crows away all night.<\/p>\n

3m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 9:27amMoore back on the ground after passing fitness test\"Chris<\/p>\n

There you go! Darcy Moore is back on the ground after his little injury scare.<\/p>\n

It’ll be interesting to see just how well he’s able to move out there, but let’s see.<\/p>\n

I don’t think the Pies would let him go back out there if there was any serious risk of injury.<\/p>\n

5m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 9:26am<\/p>\n

Moore is back on Collingwood’s bench, still no word on return\"Chris<\/p>\n

Collingwood is yet to rule Darcy Moore out from returning, but the signs don’t appear promising.<\/p>\n

Moore was going through somewhat of a fitness test in the rooms, kicking the footy, and was visibly wincing in pain after each kick.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, he’s sitting on the bench, albeit with a worried facial expression to say the least.<\/p>\n

8m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 9:23am<\/p>\n

Long kicks Pies out to 20-point lead\"Chris<\/p>\n

This margin is getting to a dangerous size if you’re the Giants.<\/p>\n

Josh Daicos with a brilliant kick inside 50 and he finds Ned Long camped wide open.<\/p>\n

Long goes back and drills the easy set shot.<\/p>\n

14m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 9:17am<\/p>\n

Darcy Moore is still in the Pies rooms\"Chris<\/p>\n

Any news on Darcy Moore nervy pies fan here hopeful for no damage <\/p>\n

– Bailey <\/p>\n

The quarter-time break has come and gone and there is no sign of Darcy Moore.<\/p>\n

I’d guess that his night is done. It’s uncertain exactly what he’s done, but he definitely pulled up sore after going for a run and kick off halfback.<\/p>\n

We’ll let you know once we get an official word from the Pies.<\/p>\n

17m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 9:14amFuel rationing on the radar for AFL\"Dean\"Andrew(Getty Images)<\/p>\n

Kelli Underwood has reported on the ABC Sport call tonight that the AFL has discussed the possibility of fuel rationing and its impact on the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

The national cabinet is set to meet next week at which point the government may look to introduce a number of measures to combat declining fuel supplies, which may include a restriction on air travel. If that was to eventuate, Underwood suggests it may force the league to look at a number of options, including something akin to the COVID hubs.<\/p>\n

Underwood reports the issue was raied at a meeting of AFL chief executives on Thursday, and that the GWS Giants specifically have confirmed it is “on their radar”.<\/p>\n

One to watch in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

18m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 9:13amQT: Collingwood 5.1 (31) leads GWS 2.5 (17)\"Chris\"TimTim Membrey kicked three goals in the opening quarter for Collingwood. (Getty Images)<\/p>\n

A late goal to Jake Riccardi has made the scoreboard look a little better from a Giants perspective, but it’s still the Pies on top.<\/p>\n

The ball has been pinging from end to end and the Pies seem to have adjusted to the pace a little better thus far.<\/p>\n

Tim Membrey has been excellent up forward as Collingwood’s focal point, kicking three goals and taking four marks as well.<\/p>\n

Collingwood looks extremely dangerous everytime they go inside 50, while the Giants have entered their attacking 50 a little haphazardly.<\/p>\n

Giants midfielder Finn Callaghan is the leading ball-winner on the ground with 12 touches, and he’s gained 235m.<\/p>\n

Nick Daicos leads the way for the Pies with 10 touches and two clearances.<\/p>\n

Clayton Oliver’s also off to a fast start, and has 10 touches and three clearances.<\/p>\n

A big injury concern for the Pies as skipper Darcy Moore headed into the rooms after pulling up sore.<\/p>\n

We’ll keep you updated on his status as the game progresses.<\/p>\n

21m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 9:10amMoore the latest Magpie to go down into the rooms\"Chris<\/p>\n

\u00a0Collingwood skipper Darcy Moore has gone down into the rooms after pulling up a little stiff.<\/p>\n

Moore came into the game with a calf issue, and I wonder whether that’s still bothering him.<\/p>\n

25m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 9:06am<\/p>\n

Membrey continues his dream quarter with third goal\"Chris<\/p>\n

Tim Membrey is up and about this evening!<\/p>\n

This is a lovely kick inside 50 from Jack Crisp, just puts it to space and allows Membrey to lead towards the ball, where he takes a towering contested grab.<\/p>\n

Membrey’s got three goals now from four kicks.<\/p>\n

28m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 9:03am<\/p>\n

Membrey makes it two as Collingwood takes the attack\"Chris<\/p>\n

The Pies are looking extremely dangerous every time they’re going forward.<\/p>\n

After GWS sent the ball inside 50 on 12 consecutive occasions, only yielding four behinds, the Pies go BANG, BANG.<\/p>\n

Tim Membrey snaps up a loose ball inside 50 and snaps through his second goal of the night.<\/p>\n

29m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 9:02am<\/p>\n

McStay goals after Pies force forward half turnover\"Chris<\/p>\n

True to their coach’s promise, the Giants are running and gunning out there.<\/p>\n

With that risk comes reward, but there is definitely risk, and we see it here as the kamikaze style of play results in a turnover.<\/p>\n

It ends in an easy goal to Dan McStay, who dribbles one home from close range.<\/p>\n

33m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 8:58am<\/p>\n

Giants easing into the game after slow start\"Chris<\/p>\n

Adam Kingsley will be happy with how his side has steadied after Collingwood’s early double-strike.<\/p>\n

GWS has 12 inside 50s to Collingwood’s six midway through the first quarter.<\/p>\n

36m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 8:55am<\/p>\n

Nick Daicos off to a flying start\"Chris<\/p>\n

This isn’t really a surprise, but Nick Daicos is getting truckloads of the footy out there.<\/p>\n

Daicos already has eight disposals, three inside 50s and a clearance and leads all players with 173m gained.<\/p>\n

39m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 8:52amDaicos set to return after shoulder injury\"Chris<\/p>\n

Good news for Collingwood!<\/p>\n

Josh Daicos has emerged from the changerooms and looks in good spirits on the Pies bench.<\/p>\n

He’ll be able to return to the ground again shortly.<\/p>\n

42m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 8:49amJosh Daicos injured after being tackled by debutant\"Chris<\/p>\n

An early injury concern for the Magpies here with Josh Daicos going down into the rooms.<\/p>\n

Daicos was crunched in a tackle by Ollie Hannaford a few minutes ago and emerged worse for wear.<\/p>\n

It’s uncertain exactly what the issue is, but it’s something to do with the upper body for sure, potentially a shoulder.<\/p>\n

We’ll keep you updated.<\/p>\n

45m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 8:46am<\/p>\n

Gothard gets the Giants on the board with a brilliant dribbler!\"Chris<\/p>\n

Phoenix Gothard with a hell of a finish from the pocket!<\/p>\n

Gothard dribbles one home from a right angle and gets a brilliant bounce as the ball kicks up over Brayden Maynard’s head as he tried to smother it on the goal line.<\/p>\n

Giants with a much-needed steadier.<\/p>\n

46m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 8:45am<\/p>\n

Schultz goals after winning free kick inside 50\"Chris<\/p>\n

Geez, Joe Fonti is so stiff here.<\/p>\n

Lachie Schultz is getting tackled and therefore falls forward into Fonti and the umpire blows the whistle for high contact.<\/p>\n

I’m not too sure about that call, to be fair.<\/p>\n

Schultz, directly in front of goal around 35m out, slots it and the Pies are off to a flyer!<\/p>\n

48m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 8:42am<\/p>\n

Membrey delivers instant strike for Collingwood\"Chris<\/p>\n

A dream start for the Magpies despite losing the first centre clearance!<\/p>\n

The Pies were able to transition far too easily and Scott Pendlebury sends one inside 50 where Tim Membrey takes an excellent diving one-handed mark.<\/p>\n

Membrey makes no mistake on the set shot from close range.<\/p>\n

50m agoFri 27 Mar 2026 at 8:41amPlay is underway between Collingwood and GWS\"Chris<\/p>\n

We’re off and running at Docklands Stadium!<\/p>\n

As Craig McRae said, Oscar Steene is indeed in at the first bounce.<\/p>\n

Pies veteran Scott Pendlebury stands side by side with Giants skipper Toby Greene in the middle as well.<\/p>\n
