Pies 28 Bears 18 at qwawtah time.
Big goal by Jordan De Goey after the siren.
Classic Grand Final conditions at the G, blazing sunshine.
Pies up by a goal, another after the siren goal to put them up. Good game so far

Another Pies goal after the siren denies us a first level Grand Final at half time since 1909.
That was a phenomenal quarter of footy. Brisbane looked like taking control at one stage with a 12 point lead but Collinwood’s response has been excellent. Bobby Hill having a stormer for Collingwood up front.
Footy historians among us will have noted the following names from the 1990 Grand Final between Collingwood and Essendon are once again present today:
Collingwood’s Nick Daicos is the son of star Collingwood forward from 1990 Peter “don’t tell me” Daicos.
Brisbane’s Brandon Starcevich is the nephew of Collingwood’s Craig Starcevich.
Brisbane’s Joe Daniher (two goals so far) is the son of Essendon’s Anthony Daniher.
Collingwood coach Craig McRae won three Premierships with Brisbane from 2001 to 2003.
Collingwood captain Darcy Moore is the son of double Brownlow medallist Peter Moore who was a central figure in the Colliwobbles era when Collingwood lost four Grand Finals in five years in 1977, 1979, 1980 and 1981.
Collingwood lost key defender Nate Murphy late in the first quarter to concussion and their defence was noticeably looser in Q2. Conor McKenna hasn’t featured at all so far. Very hard to call who’s going to win this.

A few Brisbane players are very anonymous so far. Ah Chee, Berry, McCarthy, Hipwood all need to start contributing far more up front if they are to win this. Other than Frampton, the pies forward unit are much more on the ball than the lions.
Are the Colliwobbles striking again? Collingwood haven’t got a goal yet this quarter. Brisbane slowly winning the arm wrestle. Big Joe Daniher really fancies it.
69 plays 70 4 mins left Q3.
Collingwood 75 Brisbane 71 3/4 time.
A much tighter, tenser quarter of football there.
That was some nervous quarter. Serious tension. Pies barely ahead, lions really should have been going in ahead.
Eight lead changes so far in the game. Incredible.
Bad miss Bobby Hill
Collingwood should be out of sight. 17 behinds is pathetic
I’m watching this since half time. The standard of kicking is woeful. 18 behinds now for Collingwood.
Shocker of a kick by big Joe Daniher. 6 in it. 14 left.
Pendlebury is some bit of stuff. Fucker has been top of his game for a decade or more
Svelte looking Collingwood fan there pictured on camera
Next goal probably wins this.
