FINAL SCORE
COLLINGWOOD 12.13.85
FREMANTLE 5.7.37
It was in front of their lowest MCG crowd in 76 years, but the Pies are back on the winner's list. Ben Reid, Steele Sidebottom, Jack Crisp, Mason Cox and Brayden Maynard impressed, while Travis Cloke slotted a pair of goals in a solid display.
The Dockers were wretched, but Matthew Pavlich kept trying in his final MCG appearance, kicking two goals.
I'm heading to the rooms, thanks for joining us tonight. Michael Gleeson's match report will be online soon.

Q4 22' Coll 84 Freo 31
James Aish adds another. The rain is still coming down heavily.
The crowd is 20,320.
It's Collingwood's lowest MCG crowd since 1940.
Mason Cox has belied the conditions in this final term to take a couple of excellent grabs.

Q4 8' Coll 59 Freo 30
Adam Treloar's night has been workmanlike rather than brilliant, but he goes back and converts from 45m, all but ending this as a contest.
Taberner has been very quiet, but he marks strongly 45m out. But his kick doesn't make the distance.

Q4' 3' Coll 52 Freo 30
Is there life? Pavlich snaps and goals under pressure from 30m. He's been far from their worst.

3/4 TIME
COLLINGWOOD 7.10.52
FREMANTLE 3.5.23
The Pies are kept goalless in the third term, not that it should trouble them too much. This game is dying a slow death.
Former Magpies not too impressed with a member of the public
Have to admire the courage of people leaning over the fence screaming into players faces.

The Dockers are yet to surpass 3.10.28, which is the lowest score conceded during Nathan Buckley's tenure at the helm of the Pies.
Back to topGood news for the Dockers, with Neale back in the ground.

Q3 18' Coll 52 Freo 23
Barlow handballs over the top to Jack Hannath, who spills a near-certain goal. Hayden Ballantyne cleans it up though!
The Pies have had a string of inside 50s but their delivery to the forwards has been poor.

Q3 13' Coll 52 Freo 17
Cloke misses a set shot. He's go 1.2 for the night.
INJURY
Lachie Neale would be leading Freo's best and fairest this year, but he looks to have hurt his shoulder in a tackle.
