Oscar Allen has booted his third goal with another close range shot as the Lions again forced a turnover from the Pies’ defence.
It’s all Lions right now. This last term will either go very fast or super slow if the Lions keep stacking up the goals.
Morris just kicked his fifth goal as well – that was his 60th goal of 2026.
Lions 115, Pies 54 with 18 mins left to play.
Which Brisbane forward hadn’t kicked a goal and wanted one?
Has Conor McKenna played a better game? Probably, but he is having a cracker.
Could Logan Morris kick 10?
Why was Nick Daicos still on the ground when he was no longer going to get Brownlow votes and the game was cooked?
Oscar Allen and other Lions are finding their confidence as this match goes on – there is something eye-catching about the way this Lions side is coming to life with a third premiership so close.
That was a six goals to two term by the Lions.
At the end, Pies forward Charlie West booted a goal after winning a free kick just before the siren.
“He’s not finding a lot of the footy, but he’s a beautiful kick of the football,” Jason Dunstall said on Kayo Sports.
Conor McKenna can do no wrong in this game. He just turned from 40 metres out and round kicked the ball through like it was a Gaelic football, rather than a Sherrin.
“That is one of the goals of the year,” Garry Lyon said on Kayo Sports.
Lyon added that this one was better than McKenna’s miracle soccer goal earlier.
The veteran Irishman has kicked four goals now and this match is all over bar the shouting.
Lions 90, Pies 48 with six mins to go in Q3.
Eric Hipwood has run into an open goal and booted his second major of the night.
The Magpies just can’t stop the Lions’ ball movement in transition. They are just too slick.
Conor McKenna followed that with his third goal of the night.
“The floodgates are about to open,” Jason Dunstall said on Kayo Sports.
Lions 82, Pies 42 with 12 mins to go in Q3.
Conor McKenna has powered in a low, fizzing kick and it’s gone straight onto the chest of Charlie Cameron.
Cameron kicked the goal and the Lions are pushing further ahead now.
As others are asking, how long does Collingwood stay in this match, and when do they start resting Nick Daicos and others, given they have a wildcard match next weekend?
Time will tell on that one.
Lions 69, Pies 42 with 16 mins to go in Q3.
There was a world in which Logan Morris might have been at Collingwood.
If the idea of what they missed out on haunts them, and the reality of what he has become was painful on the MCG.
That’s three goals in minutes at the start of the second term for Morris and it felt like he was on track for a double-figure bag.
