New photo Collingwood shoots out to a 17 point lead at quarter time in AFL Grand Final

Collingwood hold a 17-point lead at quarter time in the AFL Grand Final against West Coast after scoring five goals to start the match at the MCG.

West Coast made the first score when star forward Josh Kennedy unexpectedly missed a set shot but Collingwood's Travis Varcoe scored the first goal.

Two more goals quickly followed for the Magpies after Eagles mistakes, particularly the third goal where Tom Cole dropped an easy chest mark in the back pocket and Jaidyn Stephenson it picked up and scored.

West Coast won contested possessions and had more clearances but couldn't keep the ball out of Collingwood's forward 50 and struggled to keep pace in the midfield.

West Coast finally scored its first goal with less than two minutes to go when Willie Rioli touched the ball with his shin right on the line as it bounced after a contest. 

They fought back late in the term, scoring another goal with Kennedy to claw back enough points to be 17 down at the break and have a chance to mount a premiership comeback.

His partner in the forward line, Jack Darling, had only one possession in the first quarter as Collingwood focused on stopping the dangerous tandem from taking over the game. 

The MCG was completely packed with more than 100,000 people as the 2018 AFL Grand Final kicked off in Melbourne between West Coast and Collingwood.

Both teams had convincing victories in the preliminary finals last weekend, the Eagles thumping Melbourne by 66 points in Perth and Collingwood upsetting the fancied Richmond by 39 points.

This means both sides are fired up and carrying a lot of confidence in to the clash, the biggest game for many of their players' careers, making for an exciting contest.

West Coast last made the Grand Final in 2015 where they were no match for Hawthorn, who cruised to their third straight premiership by 46 points.

There was plenty of drama before the match even started as Collingwood's banner was torn apart by the wind only seconds before the team were due to come onto the field and run through it.

Earlier, Collingwood rookie Brayden Sier landed an epic sledge on West Coast captain Shannon Hurn about his famous receding hairline. 

The league's official Instagram account posted a photo of Hurn, 31, and Magpies captain Scott Pendlebury holding the Grand Final cup on Friday.

'Pies to win due to better hairlines,' the 20-year-old midfielder commented in reference to the stark contrast in the two skippers' hair.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
