‘We’re not playing mugs’: Magpies boss hits out over form concerns as finals loom
But despite the patchy run of form, McRae was staunch in defending his team’s run of form when quizzed post-game as their stranglehold on the competition continues to soften.“You’ve asked me this before; I really don’t know the answer to that.” McRae said
McRae conceded that it was an inopportune time for Collingwood to be facing a patchy run of form and a mounting injury toll, with more casualties emerging from last night’s game.But the Collingwood coach has urged his players to stop “biding time” and use the final moments of the regular season as a “moment in time to qualify”.
“You want certain parts of your game going well; it doesn’t have to be all humming along … I think that doesn’t necessarily need to be the case.” He did not believe the injury to Nathan Murphy was major, but the key defender was visibly upset on the bench after he was forced from the field with a suspected glute or back concern.
