Collingwood Senior Coach Craig McRae has expressed his unwavering commitment to improving the team’s performance, following a disappointing 2024 season. McRae, who took over as head coach in 2022, acknowledged that the team’s results were not up to par and assured fans that he is working tirelessly to rectify the situation.

“We’re not happy with where we’re at, and we’re committed to getting better,” McRae said in a statement. “We’ve got a talented list, and we’re confident that with the right approach, we can start to climb the ladder.”

McRae’s comments come after a season that saw the Magpies finish 13th on the AFL ladder, with just seven wins from 23 games. Despite the disappointing results, McRae remains optimistic about the team’s prospects, citing the emergence of young talent and the experience gained by his players.

“We’ve got some exciting young players coming through, and we’re seeing some real growth in our list,” McRae said. “We’re also getting some valuable experience, and we’re learning from our mistakes.”

McRae has been working closely with his coaching staff and players to identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to address them. He has also been busy on the recruiting front, securing the services of several key players, including former Richmond midfielder, Tom Lynch.

“We’re always looking to improve our list, and we’re confident that the players we’ve brought in will make a real difference,” McRae said.

Despite the challenges ahead, McRae remains confident that the Magpies can turn their fortunes around and become a competitive force in the AFL.

“We’re not going to shy away from the challenge,” McRae said. “We’re going to work hard, and we’re going to stick together as a team. We’re committed to getting better, and we’re excited about the future.”

Collingwood fans will be hoping that McRae’s words are more than just empty promises, and that the team can start to show some real improvement in the coming season. With a talented young list and a renewed sense of commitment, the Magpies may finally be on the verge of turning their fortunes around.
