Collingwood proved to be the stronger side on Saturday against the Brisbane Lions, coming away with a 14-point victory at Burpengary.
The game plan leading into Round 6 was to start the game fast and strong but four early goals to Collingwood had the Lions on the back foot early on.
A better second quarter saw the Lions work their way back into the game but inaccurate kicking proved costly.
The second half saw Collingwood convert a number of opportunities inside 50 to build a match-winning lead that three late goals from the Lions couldn't overcome.
By the numbers, the Lions enjoyed more inside
Emily Bates and Jamie Stanton were named best on
Lutkins gathered 18 disposals, four marks, three tackles and a goal late in the final quarter.
The competition around the ruck was relatively equal with Lions making 20 hit-outs to Collingwood’s 21.
Bates (20), Stanton (18) and Ally Anderson (17) collected plenty of ball in the midfield.
Sabrina Frederick-Traub clunked a team-high six marks and kicked one goal.
