Darcy at the board
Sam Darcy scored and kicked an important goal for the Bulldogs.
He pumped his fist and drew boos from the Magpies fans.
There was a bit of a question as to whether Treloar's kick to Darcy went 15 yards or not, it doesn't matter now as it was a goal.
Cake 38, Dogs 26 with 15 minutes to go in Q2.
Quarter time statistics
QT: Collingwood 5.7 (37) to Western Bulldogs 3.2 (20)
The Magpies got eight marks inside the forward 50m in the first quarter but were unable to convert those marks into goals and it cost them.
The Dogs are still in this game despite being dominated in many parts of this game.
Nick Daicos has been untouchable with his wins around the sacks and saves. He is an upper class.
The Bulldogs have lost James Harmes to a hamstring injury and have used his replacement.

Maynard comes back, Lobb hits the post
Rory Lobb got a good mark ahead of Maynard, who has returned to action after passing a concussion test.
Lobb's shot at goal crashed off the post.
Pies 36, Dogs 20 with 70 seconds to go in Q1.
Bontempelli with a class goal
Marcus Bontempelli collided with the ball and scored a timely goal for his team from the left of the group.
He's doing his best to fire his teammates, but they can't control Daicos and the Pies.

Duryea reported
There was an off-the-ball incident involving Taylor Duryea and Nick Daicos that saw the Collingwood star awarded a free kick downfield inside the forward 50.
Daicos kicked the goal, but during the first half, officials were heard telling Duryea he had been flagged for hitting.

It appears that Daicos did a backflip in the throat after being pushed.
Pies 34, Dogs 13 with six minutes left in Q1.
Watch: Darcy picks up Maynard
Macrae keeps the dogs close
Macrae has scored his second goal of the first season and his steady start keeps the Dogs in this game.
Good finishing from Macrae and Darcy also helped with a choke at the start.
Pastís 28, Dogs 12 with nine minutes to go in Q1.
The cakes make another one, Harmes out for the dogs
The Bulldogs have lost another player, with midfielder/forward James Harmes replaced with a hamstring injury.
The Dogs planned to use Harmes to help cover for other missing midfielders like Ed Richards. He has now been replaced and replaced by Lachie McNeil.
Lachie Schultz also added to Collingwood's advantage.
Cake 28, Dogs 6 with 11 minutes to Q1.
How long could Darcy be gone?
For Greg Baum
Darcy's hit on Maynard will spur plenty of discussion about how many games the young Bulldogs forward will be suspended.
Advance offer: three matches. Does anyone have more?
