COLLINGWOOD midfielder Shane O'Bree admitted Friday night's two-point loss to Brisbane may take more than five minutes to get over.

One of his team's best in the 13.18 (96) to 13.16 (94) loss, O'Bree said the team was ''very disappointed'' following the match.

Speaking shortly after the dust had settled on the result, the former Lion reflected the mood of his teammates.

''It'll probably take a few days to get over, it was pretty disappointing,'' he said.

“But we've got nine days now because we don't play Richmond until the Sunday. It'll probably be best to move on as quick as we can and start thinking about next week.''

Collingwood surrendered a 16-point lead at the final change and watched the Lions storm home in front of a crowd in excess of 33,000.

O'Bree and his midfield mates including Scott Burns and Dane Swan racked up possessions and more than matched their counterparts including Simon Black, Luke Power and Jed Adcock.

But it was Adcock who had the last laugh, kicking the eventual match winner at the 26-minute mark of the final term with a right footed snap from 30m.

''We had our opportunities in the last quarter and we weren't able to take them,'' O'Bree said.

Paul Medhurst, who had an outstanding final term, and Dale Thomas, also one of the Pies' best, both missed set shots deep into the final term.

At the other end of the ground, Brown also missed a shot he should have made before Adcock's heroics.

''Some decisions didn't quite go our way, but we could have moved the ball upfield a bit better and created some more opportunities to score from that,” O’Bree said.

''It was a well-fought contest all night. I'm not sure what it looked like on telly, but the conditions were tough. We haven't played in wet weather for years. I can't remember the last time we played in wet weather.

''It took a while to adjust but it was the same for both sides. It was a pretty simple game plan tonight for both teams, get it forward and try and kick a score.''

While Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse admitted the Lions defence held his power forwards well, at the other end of the ground, both Malthouse and O'Bree agreed the Pies defensive unit were rock solid.

Nathan Brown did a good job on his champion namesake Jonathan, Harry O'Brien kept a close check on Daniel Bradshaw and Nick Maxwell and Daryl Wakelin were also strong.

''We've got a young backline and the job they did was very good and a good learning experience for them,'' O'Bree said.

''I thought the midfield was a good battle; they've got some great players in there but I thought we went well.''
