After needing to dig deep into Collingwood’s list to find reinforcements during the club’s injury crisis, Pies coach Craig McRae now has an embarrassment of riches at the selection table.
After spending the past few weeks digging deep into the Magpies’ list to find reinforcements during the club’s injury crisis, coach Craig McRae now has an embarrassment of riches at the selection table.Lachie Schultz will miss due to gastro, but his absence will be more than offset by the returns of premiership stars Jordan De Goey, Scott Pendlebury, Brody Mihocek for the reigning premiers’ trip north to play Gold Coast.
“Every week you think about dynamics, chemistry, connection,” McRae, a former VFL premiership coach before taking over at Collingwood, said. “My grounding has served me well. At the VFL level you’re having six or seven changes every week, so coaching connection is important. “It’s a real challenge right now to think someone coming in who has great experience, whether it’s Pendlebury or De Goey, ‘now we’re right, we’ll plug and play and we’re away’. That’s not real.”
