Statistics: Friday nights numbers Collingwoodfc.au has published the key statistics and facts to arise from the clubs 70-point loss to Fremantle in the first round of the 2014 home and away season. Points of note: - Collingwoods 5.16 (46) was the teams lowest score since its loss to St Kilda in the third round of 2010 when it kicked 4.17 (41). Prior to that, its next lowest score is 5.10 (40), also against the Saints, this time in round seven, 2009. Its interesting to note that all three of these scores were kicked against Ross Lyon-led teams and all were recorded at Etihad Stadium. - Tom Langdon showed great poise on debut, but it was his 24 disposals that stood out on the stats sheet. For the record, its the highest disposal tally record by a Magpie debutant since Jaxson Barham won 28 touches on debut against Brisbane at the Gabba in round four, 2009. Steele Sidebottom (22 in round seven, 2009) and Tom Young (23 in round 22, 2011) are other recent debutants to get their hands on the Sherrin with similar regularity. - The 70-point loss marked Collingwoods heaviest first round defeat since the first round of 1987 when Sydney belted the Magpies by 91 points. That match saw the beginning of Tony Shaws reign as captain and heralded the debuts of Gavin Brown, Gavin Crosisca, Michael Christian and Craig Starcevich. - Scott Pendleburys 26 disposals in his first outing as skipper compares favourably with other recent captains. Tony Shaw won the ball on 30 occasions during the aforementioned loss to the Swans in round one, 1987, while Gavin Brown (24 disposals), Nathan Buckley (26 disposals) and Scott Burns (28 disposals) also got their hands dirty in the midfield. Defender Nick Maxwell had only 12 touches in his first official outing as the teams leader in round one, 2009, but he still managed to push forward for two goals. - The 5.16 (46) scoreline is Collingwoods lowest in the 25 meetings between the two clubs. It fell short of the 7.12 (54) the Magpies of 2004 managed against the Dockers in round four at the same venue. For the record, fifth gamer Dane Swan is the only surviving member from that afternoon.
