AFL: Collingwood coach Craig McRae reflects on a tough ANZAC Day draw against Essendon.
Essendon forward Kyle Langford was superb in attack for the Bombers when kicking four goals but faltered with a potential matchwinning set shot with one minute left.
“That’s all we’re asking to do. Follow your process, your routine and try to execute. This game is not perfect. You’re going to miss some. “It would have been one of those stories of Jamie doing it again taken the mark. Whether we would have kicked it or not, that’s a space we don’t live in,” he said.
He usually enjoys a glass of red wine while watching a replay of Collingwood matches but said that, as a result of it being a draw, he might opt for a glass of white wine instead. But McRae said it felt as though the Magpies, which edged into the eight for the first time this year temporarily, were moving forward. They face Carlton in another blockbuster at the MCG next Friday night.
“I think my teammates and myself are always extremely disappointed to not get the win. In my 11 years at the club, no one’s ever walked off happy losing,” Merrett said.
