Jackie Epstein - Sunday Herald Sun
"COLLINGWOOD soared to the top of the table yesterday but coach Mick Malthouse is hoping his players disregard their new-found status."
"Collingwood seal top spot with 48-point win over St Kilda"
Glenn McFarlane - Sunday Herald Sun
"It was appropriate - even a little ironic - that Collingwood's first goal in yesterday's emphatic 48-point win over St Kilda came from Luke Ball, the man who once captained the Saints, yet who was little more than a bit player for them last season."
"Blue-collar boys back in fashion"
Michael Horan - Sunday Herald Sun
"THREE months ago the boys in black and white walked off Etihad Stadium embarrassed after losing a game against the Saints they should have won."
"Saints beaten at own game"
Mark Robinson - Sunday Herald Sun
"The much-lauded "Saints footy" failed under the swarming intent of Collingwood and one, two, one and two goals across each of the four quarters was an indication that, indeed, Collingwood had "St Kilda-ed" the Saints."
"Pies tear Saints to pieces"
Rohan Connolly - The Age
"The Magpies had that steely look in the eye, the sort of ferocity with which they memorably dismantled Geelong a couple of years ago, and the Saints, frankly, were rattled by it."
"Hot Pies on top, stay cool"
Martin Boulton - The Age
"COLLINGWOOD has moved into top spot on the ladder with yesterday's crushing 48-point win against St Kilda, but coach Mick Malthouse wants his players to stay focused on internal measurements of success."
"Magpies looking more and more like the real deal"
Jake Niall - The Age
"COLLINGWOOD is on top of the ladder. This has not happened at this late stage of a season since 1990. Collingwood folk will never forget what happened that year. Everyone else wishes they could."
"Collingwood win put Magpies on top"
AAP - The Australian
