The Grand Final nightmare continued for Collingwood in 1980 when Richmond inflicted one of the biggest hindings in prenmiership history over the embattled Magpies. Having worked its way into the Grand Final from the Eliminatuion Final, Collingwood looked a spent force on Grand Final Day and there was no better or more powerful side than these Tigers to pick the carcass clean. Led by Kevin Bartlett, who had tormented all defences through a stunning finals series, Richmonmd assumed control in the first quarter and mercilessly pounded Collingwood for the rest of the day. The margin was out to seven goals at half time, ten and three quarteer time...the final margin is something that still frightens Collingwood supporters but always manages to bring a smile to the face of any true Tiger. In the end it was, as they ironically sing in the Collingwood theme song, a "cakewalk" for the Tigers. Bartlett had booted seven, David Cloke six, Mark Lee had dominated the ruck and speedsters Robert Wiley and Geoff Raines had obliterated their Collingwood opponents. Bill Picken, Collingwood's game but scruffy centre-half back evntaully booted three goals for the Magpies, but there was even something a litttle forlorn about that. This was the day when nothing went right for the Maggies, but everthing rolled magnificently for Tony Jewell's Tigers.
