Dale Thomas Match Winning Goal

COLLINGWOOD held off an amazing comeback from the Western Bulldogs to win by one point in an extraordinary contest at Etihad Stadium.

After leading by more than seven goals midway through the third quarter, the Pies fell in by a point to win their seventh game in a row, 17.9.111 to 16.14.110, in front of 51,382 fans at Etihad Stadium.

In the end, it was a silky gather off the ground by first-year player Dayne Beams and snap inside 50 that sealed the victory.

Beams snap landed in the arms of Dale Thomas, who coolly slotted the sealer with 90 seconds remaining. His second goal of the match and Collingwoods only major of the final quarter would be enough to seal the win.
