******** lose after final siren again, Blues in trouble

THEY SAID IT: “”I reckon if it was at the MCG it would have been paid.” With his side’s AFL finals hopes on life support after a three-point loss to Sydney, Collingwood coach Craig McRae lamented an unpaid 50-metre penalty that denied Dan McStay an opportunity to slot the match-winner. Swans defender Tom McCartin had seemingly walked over the mark when key forward McStay collected the ball 65 metres out from goal with less than a minute remaining on the clock.

PLAYER OF THE ROUND: Sydney’s horror run looked certain to continue after Collingwood built a 21-point lead going into the final term until star midfielder Isaac Heeney flicked the switch. Heeney pulled off a stunning fourth quarter performance with 14 disposals, four marks, four inside-50s, two contested marks, three clearances and a goal to launch Sydney to a three-point win.THE MOMENT: With Essendon leading Gold Coast by five points, the Suns launched the ball inside 50 in the dying moments of Saturday night’s game at Marvel Stadium. Suns young **** Mac Andrew flew amidst the pack, marked, then kicked the winner after the siren to put a huge dent in Essendon’s finals hopes. The late drama came after Essendon kicked 1.9 in the final quarter and ******* to put the Suns away multiple times.
