A spectacular Nick Daicos goal with 63 seconds remaining has delivered Collingwood an epic six-point victory over arch rivals Carlton at the MCG on Friday night in front of 88,362 fans which is a record crowd for a home-and-away match between these two famous old clubs.
Collingwood has snatched victory from its bitter rival Carlton in the final minutes of an MCG blockbuster, with superstar Nick Daicos proving the heartbreaker.
With 2:45 to go, Carlton spearhead Harry McKay took a big grab against Frampton, but his centring kick went straight to Collingwood youngster Harvey Harrison instead of spotting up one of three open teammates.

Halfway through the third quarter, Collingwood had more than tripled Carlton for tackles in the forward half , further highlighting the Pies’ superior work rate. And Lachie Schultz could be headed for a holiday after seeing the red mist in the last quarter when he charged after Acres and appeared to hit him in the back of the head, which led to a free kick.
