THE TRUTH ABOUT: Adelaide v collingwood 2025 afl first qualifying final live | History Defined

Here is the full report as Collingwood defeated Adelaide by 24 points after opening up the game with a seven-goal blitz either side of half-time.

Collingwood skipper Darcy Moore was critical to the win as he led the defence and cut off multiple Adelaide attacks with a dominance in the air. Nick Daicos got better as the game went on and his kicking was a highlight, while Jamie Elliott booted four goals and Steele Sidebottom finished with three. Jordan De Goey was important throughout as he returns to form and fitness at the right time of year and the Magpies will be a hugely ominous opponent in a couple of weeks at the MCG.
