HALF TIME
Collingwood leads by 10 points at the main break.
The Pies dominated the second term, but wayward kicking in front of goal has kept the Tigers in touch.
The Pies just keep missing.
Lethal: ‘It’s a disease. When one of your teammates misses, the next one does. The pressure keeps building.’

The midfielders are racking up touches, but it’s one of the more unheralded players who has caught Jimmy Bartel’s eye.
‘Tyson Goldsack has been fantastic on Jack Riewoldt,’ Bartel said.
Riewoldt has had just two handballs to half time.

Collingwood football manager Geoff Walsh defended the club’s decision to recruit Daniel Wells.
Walsh told 3AW Football Wells is an ‘exquisite talent and a game-changer’.
=====
The Tigers are roaring following their big win over Carlton in Round 1.
But the Pies – who were impressive in defeat against the reigning premiers – will be hellbent on bringing them back to earth.
It’s a tough one to pick. Who will you tip in 3AW’s tipping competition?
TONIGHT’S 3AW TEAM from 6PM: Leigh Matthews, Jimmy Bartel, Caroline Wilson, Dwayne Russell, Bruce Eva, and Doc Larkins.
