Collingwood has had to absorb pressure for long passages, but Booby Hill's three goals has the Pies on the verge of a preliminary final. Follow the action in our live blog.
It's just starting to turn a little.
It was a goal apiece in that quarter, and the Magpie lead was only trimmed by three points, but it feels like Melbourne are close to something. Max Gawn has started to dominate Mason Cox, Kozzy Pickett is threatening to light it up, May and Lever are wrestling some control back. But the Dees can't score. They've been poor going inside 50, wildly bombing away to outmanned targets who haven't been able to take miraculous contested marks in slippery conditions.
The Pies will be the happier of the two teams, but it's Melbourne who have more left to give. Feels like there's a long way to go here tonight.
