Lance Franklin took advantage of a Collingwood backline that was down on troops to kick six goals on Saturday night, moving him into second place on the Coleman Medal leaderboard.
North Melbourne big man Ben Brown has been leading the race for several months now but only managed the one goal in his side's win over Brisbane.
Brown holds a four-goal lead over Buddy with three home-and-away rounds to play.
Geelong spearhead Tom Hawkins had kicked bags of seven two weeks on the trot but only managed one in the loss to Richmond on Friday night.

That allowed Jack Riewoldt (4 v Geelong) and Luke Breust (3 v Essendon) to make some ground on Tomahawk.
Melbourne star Jesse Hogan also helped himself to four goals in his side's demolition of Gold Coast on Sunday.
