Collingwood’s Taylor Adams set the record straight after 80 minutes for a superb strike by Collingwood. Scott Pendlebury caught Sam Walsh near the limit, forcing Walsh to drive him out completely.
But the evaporation of the Pies’ composure kept the Blues in the competition.
Jack Ginnivan missed two single shots in the first half and Ollie Henry missed one of his in the second.
The blues owned the foot to stay in the game. They took the heat out of the contest by accumulating undisputed marks, and then owned the Battle of the Territory at the end of the second period to take a six-point lead at the break.
Patrick Lipinski scored consecutive goals to get the Pies back on the scoreboard, but the wrong shots from Cox, Steele Sidebottom and Mihocek denied them a greater advantage.

But Sidebottom was amended shortly afterwards, and Collingwood kept Carlton in their first goalless third season for 2022 before the thrilling final in which Jack Silvagni missed a snapshot in moments of death that would have pinched victory. .
The result is that Collingwood has a chance to secure a place in the final in the second half of the season. They went 6-5, out of the eight only in percentage, to keep in touch with the Western Bulldogs and Richmond.
Ginnivan’s dirty day
The match between Jack Ginnivan and Adam Saad was as delightful as it could have been.
The enigmatic Pie had a first part that he would have loved again. He found himself in the space behind Carlton’s last line of defense in the first half, but hit the goal from 10 yards out and hit the post.
In the second half, he then scored in the 25th straight straight ahead, but failed again.
Saad, meanwhile, was influential in the first half. He had 10 interceptions and 18 discards in the half, and most importantly, he had denied Ginnivan’s influence. Carlton’s best player was at the end of the game.
Curnow’s influence
The other key player was Darcy Moore over key Carlton striker Charlie Curnow.
They both had their moments in the first half. Curnow hit a clearance from the center, scoring the ball near the ankles, and scored the first of the blues from about 50 meters.
Moore produced his best moment about 10 minutes later, grabbed an interception mark and sprinted down the aisle to create a goal opportunity for the Pies while Curnow rested.
Curnow threw his second just before the break, doing a bit of nothing to goal from the arc of a pass.
He stayed behind in the third season, but scored a strong one-on-one against Jeremy Howe and scored again from a distance with five minutes to go to cut the lead to two goals later, before receiving a hand up with just over a minute to go, they give the blues a late scent.
