AFL:Craig McRae has addressed the media following his team's impressive win over Brisbane in Round 3
Collingwood coach Craig McRae said the Magpies came to the Gabba intent on making a “statement” after their poor start to the season.
McRae emphasised his team’s focus on pressure and tackling going into the game, which it delivered in spades with 85 tackles – including 16 inside 50. “Parts of our game were there to be seen but not consistently in the last three or four games, and in particular our pressure was something we wanted to raise the bar on because us at our best is a great pressure team.
“We’ve got to pressure the opposition better than what we were. We had many times where one person was tackling on his own, and that’s not us.'We're 0-3, let-s not catastrophise it' | 09:02
