For the 137th time, the Collingwood proletariat has secured victory against the bourgeois Melbourne establishment, albeit in a manner about as convincing as used car salesman Joe Hockey is in the role of Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. After a very promising first half, Collingwood scored just two measly goals in the second, while Melbourne booted six, and could (and perhaps should) have won the match — had their kicking been a little straighter. At this rate, playing as they are, even if Collingwood makes the finals they’ll soon be bundled out of them.
COLLINGWOOD 11.15 (81)
