April 17th 2010 12:46
COLLINGWOOD has ended a four-match losing streak against Hawthorn with a 64-point demolition at the MCG on Saturday night.
The Magpies set up the win with a ten-goals-to-two first half before running out 17.21 (123) to 8.11 (59) victors.
For the Hawks the result means they have now lost their past three matches.
And to make matters worse for the 2008 premiers, skipper Sam Mitchell spent the last term on the bench with a hamstring injury.
Collingwood had 11 individual goal-kickers for the match - Leon Davis and Dale Thomas the most effective with three apiece.
Thomas also collected 26 possessions while Dane Swan (34), Alan Didak (29, two goals), Steele Sidebottom (27) and Scott Pendlebury (27) were also damaging.
Heath Shaw provided plenty of drive from defence with 26 touches while Simon Prestigiacomo kept Jarryd Roughead to just one goal.
Luke Hodge was Hawthorn's best with 34 disposals and a career-best 13 clearances while Chance Bateman (31) battled hard.
