Josh Kennedy’s six goals not enough as West Coast lose to Collingwood by eight points
The Magpies trailed at every change but came alive in the last quarter, overturning a 24-point deficit to win 13.15 (93) to 13.7 (85) at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Jordan de Goey and Jamie Elliott played match-winning hands as the Magpies surged past the Eagles, led by Josh Kennedy’s six-goal haul.
De Goey kicked four goals in the second half after being sent forward by coach Nathan Buckley.
The midfielder ran down Liam Duggan with a magnificent effort in fourth quarter time-on.
All of a sudden, the 22,927 in attendance – the smallest crowd for this fixture since the Magpies left Victoria Park – sounded like a full house.
Elliott – who finished with three goals of his own – put Collingwood in front before Alex Fasolo added a late sealer.
The stirring win will be a tonic for under-fire coach Buckley, but embarrass opposite Adam Simpson.

Windows 10 S review: faster, simpler … and incredibly painful to use
Windows 10 S is the latest version of Microsoft’s new and improved operating system, which is about to launch with the new Surface Laptop and a series of machines from third-party manufactures.
It joins Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro as the three versions of Windows aimed at consumers. However, confusingly it is not an upgrade to either, but a class of Windows in and of itself…

London terror attack Five people are reportedly being held by police after a raid at flats in Barking.
Five people are reportedly being held by police after a raid at flats in Barking.
Footage broadcast by Sky News showed an ambulance outside the Kings Road flats.
Tara Milan told The Daily Telegraph four men were detained in the flats but one man tried to escape armed police.
She said: “I saw them bringing them out of the flat opposite, around 7am.
“One man tried to flee and they shot him outside my house. They put him in an ambulance and then the others in a police van.”
At least seven people were killed and dozens more injured after a van drove into pedestrians on London Bridge and several men then started stabbing passersby in what police said was a terrorist attack. The incident began on London Bridge when a white transit-style van drove into a crowd of people “at about 50mph”, according to witnesses.

Sebastian Vettel fastest in final practice for #F1 #RussianGP 🇷🇺
Hamilton conceded on Friday night that Vettel holds the advantage at the Sochi Autodrum after an impressive display from the German and his resurgent Ferrari team.
Kimi Raikkonen was fastest in opening practice before Vettel topped the timesheets in the day’s second running.
And Vettel’s best effort of one minute and 34.001 seconds on Saturday morning in the third and concluding practice session saw him finish comfortably ahead of Raikkonen with Valtteri Bottas third and his Mercedes team-mate Hamilton only fourth.
Indeed Hamilton, who trails Vettel by seven points in the championship, was more than half-a-second adrift of his title rival at a circuit which has played to Mercedes’ strengths in previous years.
Hamilton has won twice here, while his Mercedes team has led every lap of each of the three races staged at the site of the venue for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
But it is Vettel, the four-time champion, who will now be the favourite to capture his first pole position of the year in qualifying later on Saturday.
Max Verstappen finished fifth for Red Bull with Felipe Massa sixth and Daniel Ricciardo seventh. Fernando Alonso was 14th in the order.
British driver Jolyon Palmer is in need of a strong performance this weekend, but he failed to complete a single timed lap on Saturday.
Palmer’s Renault team worked through the night to change his chassis following an exhaust issue.
But there were further dramas in practice as he limped back to the pits reporting a lack of power. Renault confirmed they will now have to change his engine before qualifying.

Nine Network Ben McCormack: ‘He was a bit of a Peter Pan, didn’t want to get old’
THE Nine Network has moved swiftly to suspend Ben McCormack after the A Current Affair senior reporter was charged with using a carriage service for child pornography material.
In a statement following his release from police custody tonight, a Nine spokeswoman said “while justice MUST take its course, given the serious nature of the allegations [the network] has immediately suspended Ben McCormack”.
News Corp Australia understands the reporter and volunteer Bondi lifesaver has reportedly been warned by friends about his interest in dating teenage men.
“He’s always on Grindr and having dates with young-looking men. He was a bit of a Peter Pan, didn’t want to get old,” a source, who declined to be named, said.
The former colleague claimed “he would often show photos of guys he was seeing and they would always be baby-faced teens but a legal age.”
“His life is lifesaving, but he mentors and trains young boys there.”

Adele stops her Melbourne show and invites Man to proposes to boyfriend
She’s known for stopping her concerts and letting die-hard fans propose to their partners.
And during her show in Melbourne on Sunday, British crooner Adele invited a crying fan on stage, who unexpectedly proposed to his boyfriend.
Fans took to Twitter shortly after the proposal, to gush over the sweet moment.
One fan urged Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to ‘take note,’ considering same-sex marriage is illegal in Australia.
‘Wonderful. @Adele promoting gay marriage with a proposal on stage. Bless. Take note @TurnbullMalcolm It’s not hard.’
The proposal was between concertgoers Wade and Chris.
Adele first invited Chris on stage after he cried during her opening song, Hello.
When on stage, Wade got on bended knee to pop the question, with Adele being in complete shock.
‘That wasn’t planned, I had no idea!,’ the hit maker said.

Android may soon be the world’s most popular operating system by internet usage
Windows, once the undisputed king of operating systems, is facing a new contender for the throne.
StatCounter, a web analytics company, found that Android came very close to matching Windows’ market share last month. Google’s mobile OS was used by 37.4 percent of people connecting to the internet in February 2017 versus 38.6 percent who used Windows. Apple’s iOS came in third with 12.99 percent.
StatCounter measures OS market share in terms of internet usage, not device shipments.

James Packer’s Crown casino ‘to sell off jets and yachts’
James Packer’s glitzy Crown casino firm is preparing to sell off hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of private jets, yachts and even his vast family home after waning interest from Chinese high rollers, it has been claimed.
Shares in Crown Resorts plummeted more than $1.50 in early trading after a report claimed the company was selling an array of luxury items bought to entertain wealthy Chinese gamblers.
The claims come as some Chinese VIP gamblers continue to avoid the firm’s casinos following the detention of 14 Crown workers in China last year.
