Goal - Krause
Collingwood won with the first score 35 seconds into extra time after scores were level at the end of the second half. They had been behind by a goal in the last 15 seconds of normal time before levelling the score. Nevin Paynter had a chance to rush a ball in the dying seconds of normal time but missed, allowing the Pies to equalise.
Early in the overtime period a stray kick towards goal landed in the arms of a Collingwood player, needing any score to win. It was a much needed early win, considering they'd had eight minutes' rest before the final, while Melbourne had spelled for an hour.
Best were Jackson, Johnston, Arnold
