"I’ve always been curious": Quaynor hints at positional change for life after veteran duo

Quaynor had a solid game against the Bombers in defence collecting 10 disposals and 16 pressure acts in Collingwood’s 41-point win against Essendon which sees them sit on top of the ladder.But speaking on SEN’s Crunch Time, Quaynor gave some hints as to where his positional future could be after veterans like Scott Pendlebury and Steele Sidebottom retire.“Funny you say that for the first time, I did a bit of centre bounce work post-training with a few of the young mids throughout the week,” Quay...

How Collingwood's veteran duo are able to maintain their evergreen nature

Veterans like Steele Sidebottom and Scott Pendlebury this season have seemed to age as well as a full-bodied red wine as they enter the renaissance of their careers.Yesterday was no exception with Sidebottom collecting 35 disposals and 15 clearances to win his second Anzac Day medal and became the third Magpie to do so.Healy would also reinforce his view that players are able to play for far longer than they used to.  “I think he finished up with 17 or 18 clearances (it was 15), clearly he was b...

Knights scoring woes continue with fifth straight loss

The Warriors won 26 to 12 at Apollo Projects Stadium in Christchurch on Anzac Day as they are now ensconced in the top eight.New Zealand would be in control from start to finish despite Marata Niukore being sin-binned and on report in the first minute of the game for a dangerous tackle.But he was soon followed by Newcastle’s Leo Thompson in the fourth minute bringing the match to a 12 v 12 for the first 10 minutes of the game.They would score the next two tries thanks to Jackson Ford with Luke M...

Inaccurate Crows left to lick their wounds in Anzac clash

Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks said that the Crows will be left to lick their wounds after losing by 18 points to Fremantle.At Optus Stadium, the Dockers were red-hot as they started the first quarter kicking six goals to pull out to a 25-point lead at quarter time.While the Crows did work themselves back in the second, the game was won in the third quarter when Adelaide only scored four points to Fremantle’s 26 with the margin becoming insurmountable.Adelaide was also not helped by their inaccura...

Mitchell in hot water while Storm maintain 20-game win streak over Rabbitohs

In a mostly even game between the two sides, Melbourne’s run game would prove the difference as they were able to break down the Rabbitohs defence.This was shown by the Storm achieving seven line breaks to South Sydney’s three and amassing 49 tackle breaks to the Rabbitohs 27.In the 49th minute, Mitchell was sent to the sin bin and placed on report after collecting Sualauvi Faalogo in the head with his shoulder after he passed the ball to Tyran Wishart.While Faalogo was falling down before the c...

"This might be who they are": Brereton on Bombers after ANZAC loss

The Bombers lost by 41 points against the Magpies at the MCG in a game which they were in until the fourth quarter.After that, Essendon made the game competitive in the second quarter kicking four goals in a row in the space of four minutes to bring Collingwood’s lead to three points.On SEN’s commentary, Dermott Brereton believed that being down as much as they had actually helped them in their second-quarter resurgence to only be behind by eight points.“They were behind as you called by four go...

Magpies shine bright on special occasion

The Magpies would win 107 to 66 against the Bombers in the 30th clash between the two sides in front of 92,044 fans at the MCG on what is a momentous day on the Australian calendar.Coming into the game, much was made of superstar midfielder Nick Daicos being made captain in the wake of Darcy Moore's injury which saw him ruled out for this match.On SEN's commentary, Gerard Healy was not surprised that Daicos found a path to goal despite Essendon’s Zach Merrett having the match-up on him to start...
