What happened in the Collingwood vs North Melbourne Friday night finish?
The award-winning Crunch Time.
That was Chris. That was Chris. And it's back to a two-point game. Less than seven to play. Play on, said the umpire. Nick Dacos picks it up. Tucks it out of the arm. One bounce. Two bounces. Over the top to Chris. Then to Cameron. 60 metres out inside. 50. And he's got a man all on his own in memory. Memory sends it on its way. That's a great kick. It's a beautiful kick. A clutch kick. And Collingwood are back in front. Hack kick inside. 50. Hero needed. Trimbar flew. Couldn't take the mark siren. The Pies have hung on in a magnificent game of football. And the Kangaroos' hearts have been broken in prime time.
Unfortunately, when you're a young side, you've got to learn the hard way, and sometimes the greatest learnings come from these sorts of defeats. So we'll lick our wounds and get ourselves ready for Melbourne next week. You need a lot of luck.
You do. There's bounce of the ball, free kick here, free kick there, touch the line, not touch the line moments. We're not naive, but we're just finding that we're growing in that space. Small margins between winning, it makes for a good weekend.
Collingwood snares its fourth win in a row as North lets an opportunity slip. We have the latest on Jack Crisp, who's under the MRO microscope.
So Kernow's lining up for number four from 50 out, from 52 out, make it on the angle. It's coming back, it's coming back, it's coming back, it's home.
Charlie is having a night out. You reckon I don't kick big bags against good teams, do you?
How about this?
Andrew Brayshaw scoops it up. Takes a bounce. Runs to halfway. Kicks to Frederick.
He marks. Plays on. Balances up. How about another one to the Dockers?
Darts away from one. Handballs to McVeigh. Surely not McVeigh. It's going to be close. Dudley Shepard's in. Through! The unlikely goal kicker. Bolton turns inside. He twisted into a tackle rather than out of one. And now he breaks free. He got three chances.
How did Collingwood regain momentum and secure a fourth straight win?
And he loads up and kicks a contender for goal of the year.
Warner will clear the danger zone. Listen to this. The Fremantle Dockers go further ahead on top of the table. They're into the clouds, Fremantle.
The Freo Flex is well and truly on. 15 goals in the second half against a fellow Premiership fancy. Further stamping the Dockers' authority at the apex of the ladder.
I think part of the first meeting with them is finding out what they want, what I would like to do and how that mixes.
It's impressed me that he's acknowledged, even with that passion, he's come in and realised how long he's been out of the coaching game and how much has changed. Well, I'm not even sure of it, but I suspect he decided a while ago that, yes, I'd like the chance to be a senior coach again. And that only really happens if you get back into an apprenticeship role and get up to speed with the modern game. It doesn't matter who you are.
Matthew Lloyd is now mentoring Nate Caddy. Lordo, being the leading goal kicker in Essendon history, is mentoring the man that they hope to become or push him in years to come in Nate Caddy. Nate Caddy's old man's been out there speaking and has declared in front of the room that the boy will stay at Essendon, sign for five years, and that James Hurd will be coaching for at least two to three of those five years to begin with. Andy Marr, the newsbreaker.
The Essendon coaching race intensifies with Nate Caddy pledging his future to a club which has yet to determine its own future. This is the Round 18 edition of Crunch Time.
Tom Morris standing in for Gerard Whaley for the Ford Ranger triple stack deal and Azzito Brussels power tools built to work. Azzito do you so much to get through this morning on a jam-packed crunch time. Carl Delina from St Kilda, their CEO, will join us after 12 as well. Adam Simpson, as always, is alongside me. Simo, good morning to you. Morning, Tom. Where's Gerard? Has he gone to Ibiza or something? It's been a month.
I tell you what, Simo. It's been a long holiday. He's not in Ibiza. I can put some money on that. Yeah, good to see you and speak to you again, Tom.
