Talking heads

“They’re in our mind the hardest-working, best contested team in the competition so it’s a good test in that regard.

“They’re very clean with their hands, from a handball receive percentage, they’re as effective as anyone.

“Not only do they handball a lot but they handball effectively.”

Nathan Buckley, Collingwood senior coach
