AFL: On the Couch co-host Jonathan Brown is worried about Collingwood losing its aura, pointing to behaviour from his premiership teammate Craig McRae.
Collingwood captain Darcy Moore is “not playing at a level where he has” but has the full support of coach Craig McRae ahead of a Friday night showdown with Essendon that Josh Daicos is likely to miss.
“So Josh, he still looks a little proppy for my eyes but I’m getting told that we’ll give him every opportunity,” McRae said.Ruckman Darcy Cameron also copped a knee to the ribs during training, but McRae said he would play.McRae was happy to leap to the defence of premiership skipper Moore who has come in for criticism on the back of taking just a single intercept mark in his team’s loss to the Suns on the Gold Coast last Saturday.
“Darcy and I catch up regularly and funnily enough, last week we had a really good deep and meaningful on the couch about lots of things,” McRae said. But McRae said his captain wasn’t fazed by the criticism and was content to improve areas of his game that needed work.“It’s a part of the game I’m not sure you can ever get rid of.
