Go The Pies - 4 wins in a Row - 3rd on The Ladder.

Well round 6 is coming up against Carlton and should notch up another win as the blue baggers may struggle against a stronger line up.

Round 5 was a big one for the pies as they thumped Port Adelaide by 41? points, the pies were out classed marginally in the 1st and 2nd. quarters, but turned the heat up in the 3rd. quarter by kicking 8 goals to one and capped off the Magpies' best start to a home-and-away season since 2000.

Ben Johnson backed up from his Anzac medal-winning performance last week with a 25-possession game while Shane O'Bree was sensational in his 150th match. O'Bree finished the day with two goals and 22 disposals, but the performance of Buckley was simply phenomenal with his first goal in the third term the instigator of the flurry of goals to come in the third.

GOALS – Collingwood: Rocca 5, Buckley 4, Tarrant 4, Lonie 2, O'Bree 2, Swan

BEST – Collingwood: Buckley, Rocca, Johnson, Lockyer, Licuria, Fraser, Tarrant, O'Bree,

COLLINGWOOD: 6.0, 8.2, 16.6, 18. 12 (120)
PORT ADELAIDE: 4.1, 7.7, 8.9, 11.13 (79)
