14:09
Collingwood applied ferocious pressure in their forward 50 in the opening quarter, laying 11 effective forward 50 tackles.

SCORE
BEHIND - Magpies (Nick Daicos)
03:29
Collingwood did not score a goal sourced from a stoppage when these two teams met earlier this season in Round 10. This was the first time that the Magpies were held goalless from this source since Round 8, 2018. The Magpies have scored two goals from stoppages tonight and lead clearances by 10.
04:11
SCORE
BEHIND - Magpies (Harry Perryman)
06:47
Collingwood has not scored from a defensive 50 launch tonight from 14 attempts. The Crows have been the hardest team to score against from defensive 50 launches this season, conceding nine points per game from this zone. The AFL average is 14 points.
11:42
Collingwood now leads the inside 50 count by 23 (44 to 21), but remarkably, it is the Crows who have scored more goals in the match (six to five). An inability to capitalise on inside 50s has been a burden for the Magpies in recent matches, scoring a goal from just 18.4% of their inside 50s since Round 18 – ranked 17th.
14:18
SCORE
BEHIND - Crows (Riley Thilthorpe)
17:11

19:00
Nick Daicos has been involved in 33.4% of Collingwood’s scores this season – the highest percentage of any player in the league. He has an equal team-high four score involvements tonight to go with his game-high seven clearances and eight inside 50s.
20:28
SCORE
BEHIND - Magpies (Brody Mihocek)
22:28
The third quarter has been a tight arm wrestle in trying conditions, with neither team able to score a goal. The Magpies have laid 17 tackles to four this term, and are on top at stoppages with 15 clearances to six.
26:20
SCORE
GOAL - Crows (Isaac Cumming)
27:05
The Crows have transitioned the ball out of their defensive half to score the first goal of the second half through Isaac Cumming. Adelaide’s scoring power off half back has been a weapon all season, averaging 24 points from defensive midfield launches this season – the most of any team.
30:26
SCORE
GOAL - Magpies (Jamie Elliott)
31:22
Adelaide takes a narrow two-point advantage into three-quarter time, despite trailing the inside 50 count by 27. Their efficiency inside 50 has been the key difference in the match, recording a goal per inside 50 conversion of 25% compared to 11% for Collingwood.
Quarter 4
00:00
Q4 is now underway.

05:11
Adelaide's physicality around the ground has been noticeable, leading the post-clearance contested possessions by 16. Collingwood has only once this season lost the post-clearance contested possession count by more than 16, losing the count by 22 against the Hawks last round.
11:12
Collingwood has now recorded 62 inside 50s for the match and trails by two points. The Magpies have never recorded more than 68 inside 50s in a match and lost.
