Magpies beat Lions 12.18 (90) to 13.8 (86) in front of 100,000 fansBobby Hill kicks four goals in four-point victory at MCG
It was the little things that delivered Collingwood this premiership. It was little moments, lots of little victories that all added up, that all took a toll on Brisbane, and that gradually wore the Lions down. It was a lunging fist here, and a risky and well executed kick there. It was the Magpies’ almost psychotic pressure in a narrow, four-point win that secured a record-equalling 16th AFL flag.
It was a grand final that came down to about a dozen key moments, and it was Collingwood that managed those moments better in front of 100,000 at a sun-soaked MCG. All those little things culminated in an extraordinary father/son moment, with Peter Moore, the bionic footballer who played in four losing grand finals, handing the Premiership cup to his son.
