Rampaging Magpies crush Sydney

"FITTINGLY, it was Collingwood skipper Nathan Buckley who kicked the sealer" The Age

The King has returned - after being absent nearly all season - The King has returned. Just look at that typical image - Buckley, focus determined on the footy, two opponents just hoping to keep up with him and in the end just chasing the Alpha Male's Tale.

And not that we needed inspiration, but I hope the Swans have learnt that suggesting their two losses to us earlier in the year were "embarrassing" may not have been exactly a smart move. Well last night was the biggest margin between these Clubs for many a year.

COLLINGWOOD 6.5 8.9 13.12 18.17 (125) SYDNEY 1.4 7.5 9.8 13.9 (87)

GOALS Collingwood: Rocca 6, T. Cloke 3, Rusling 3, Buckley, Davis, Didak, Medhurst, Pendlebury, Swan. Sydney: O'Loughlin 4, Davis 2, Malceski 2, J. Bolton, Fosdike, Hall, Kirk, Schneider

BEST Collingwood: Rocca, Shaw, Pendlebury, T Cloke, Buckley, Swan, Davis. Sydney: Goodes

The victory resounding, the glory immense, the journey as yet incomplete.

Next for the Wiggles at Subiaco, where we shall turn the 'House of Pain' in to the 'House of the Lame'.
