AFL News : Pies stay top but far from settled
Collingwood kept the top spot on the AFL ladder through an 82-point Richmond on Saturday, but Magpies coach Mick Malthouse says his side is far from settled.
Collingwood took control over the first five goals at the MCG and recorded a fifth straight win 19.13 (127) to 6.9 (45).
The versatility of the attack was again exposed as Brent Macaffer, Leigh Brown and Alan Didak kicked three goals and Leon Davis started all fours, his best performance in an uneven season.
The Magpies are well placed to strengthen their side as a key forward Travis Cloke will be available after suspension for next weekend, defender Heath Shaw should overcome a back injury and a clutch of experienced players by pushing hard with the VFL .
Malthouse said the Magpies boasted better depth this season and announced that it will continue to change sides depending on who is available and opponents in the lead-up to the finals
