Picture: Graham Denholm / Getty ImagesA tough three-game run against Carlton, Sydney and Brisbane looms large, but Collingwood defender John Noble says the Magpies can quickly recover from Saturday’s horror loss .
“It might seem like it’s far away from the outside, but we know what we need to control and what we need to do to make our best footy shine,” he said.“It has been disappointing. We’re not playing the footy that we know we’re capable of at the moment. Noble said the side would not pull the pin on its finals bid despite its current form and the gruelling fixture ahead.
Collingwood forward Daniel McStay kicked one goal and could have had two more as he emerged from his return against Hawthorn unscathed.

It’s a good time to see where we’re at against those sides.
