THERE is an old saying in football: no matter how long the game goes, the tall blokes don't get any shorter.
For the Northern Bullants on Saturday, that rang true as their tall timber up forward proved too strong for Collingwood in the last quarter of the Round 3 VFL clash at Princes Park.
Throughout the contest the Bullants looked the better side but couldn't break away from the plucky Magpies who held firm for most of the game.
But, as the Bullants did against Coburg in Round 2, come the last quarter they had too much strength as they raced away to a convincing 20.8 (128) to 12.5 (77) win.
Jake Edwards was a key to the last-quarter onslaught that resulted in eight goals. Quiet for most of the match, Edwards exploded in the final term with three goals.
