Daicos inspires Magpies to win as Blues youngster misses kick after siren

Thank you for spending your night with us once again.

Please join us again tomorrow night for the blockbuster double-header.

See you then!

Here’s what Michael Voss said in relation to Talor Byrne’s miss after the siren.

“It’s understanding that it’s not all on the young man’s shoulders,” he says.

“He’s probably rehearsed that in the backyard 2,000 times.

“What was important was that our team supported him through that. You win together, you lose together.

“He was a pretty upset young man, but he needs to know he doesn’t need to own all that.”

Michael Voss also confirms that Harry McKay was ruled out after going through a HIA late in the fourth quarter.

That means McKay will miss next week as he enters the AFL’s concussion protocols.

McKay has been concussed before, so Carlton will proceed with extra caution.

There’s vision going around showing Elijah Hollands moving quite erratically during tonight’s game.

Michael Voss insists that nothing is amiss with the young midfielder.

“He’s pretty shattered with his game, to be honest with you,” he says.

“He was really disappointed with how he started the game, really upset, he feels like he let me down. He didn’t play a great game.

“We’ve just got to keep supporting people through those situations.”

Michael Voss certainly isn’t all doom and gloom despite his side coughing up another late lead.

“The game was fairly simple in the end,” he says.

“We had moments in the start of the third quarter, came out really strong.

“They have a moment in the same period of time in the fourth, and they finish their place.

“You can have a lot of good process and good method, but it can come down to small moments.

“One of the big cultural things is learning how to win.

“Even when you lose, you’ve still got to have winning behaviours.

“Winning is about not giving up, and the boys didn’t give up tonight.

“Everyone in that locker room is hurting, and I’m sure our supporters are hurting.

“It comes down to moments and we’re not finishing enough of them.”

Carlton coach Michael Voss is speaking to reporters in his post-match press conference.

Stay tuned as we bring you all the big points.

Here’s a look at all the major numbers after the final siren:

• Disposals: Collingwood 416-390
• Inside 50s: Collingwood 58-44
• Clearances: Collingwood 31-29
• Contested Possessions: Carlton 132-113
• Marks: Collingwood 136-101
• Tackles: Level 62-62

It’s safe to say Josh Daicos is indeed breathing a HUGE sigh of relief.

What a 100 games it’s been. What a 100th game it was!

Here’s Nick Daicos after the final siren.

It’s not often that you see a player go an entire match without picking up a disposal, but that’s what Carlton’s Elijah Hollands has done.

To make matters worse, Hollands played 60 per cent game time, but incredibly did not record a single stat.

Where to now if you’re Carlton?

The Blues looked like they had this one in the bag, but it all unravelled at an alarming rate in the final term.

In the end, the Pies kick 7.1 to 3.2 to overrun the Blues, and it’s another coughed up second-half lead.

This one had the feeling of the North Melbourne game, where you could feel Carlton’s composure slipping as the game wore down to the end.

Is it tactical? Is it mental? Is it the brilliance of opponents? These are all the questions the Baggers will be asking.

It’ll be interesting to see what Michael Voss says in his presser tonight.

Who had a multi on the Pies-Sea Eagles double folks?

Unbelievable stuff at the MCG and an unbelievable finish.

You’ve got to feel for Talor Byrne, who’s virtually in tears after missing his chance to be a hero, but he’s mobbed by his teammates.

Scott Pendlebury gets around to him as well and consoles him in the midst of all of Byrne’s teammates doing so, excellent sportsmanship.

I’ve got to say, Josh Daicos will be breathing a huge sigh of relief after being the man to give away the free kick with 15 seconds left from the boundary throw-in.

The story of this final quarter is Nick Daicos, who put in a virtuoso performance in his 100th career game.

I don’t think anyone in league history has played a better first 100 games, and Daicos showed why in the final term.

Daicos finishes with 39 disposals, nine score involvements, eight clearances and eight inside 50s to go along with a goal as well.

With the Pies on the canvas to start the final term, Daicos ramped it up, picking up 13 disposals, four clearances, four inside 50s and two goal assists in the final term alone.

Just insane stuff.

Talor Byrne has the set shot after the siren from 40m out on a slight angle and he’s sent it to the left!

Collingwood survives. My oh my, what a freaking game!

Oh my goodness. Josh Daicos gives away a free kick after bumping Talor Byrne!

Ball up 40m out from Carlton’s goal tight in the left pocket.

Daicos traps Zac Williams with a wonderful tackle on the wing. Ball up.

The Pies will look to swarm around this contest.
