Collingwood skipper Darcy Moore has spoken after a nail-biting final few minutes.
Moore dropped an intercept mark attempt in the dying seconds of the final quarter and tackled his Hawks opponent Dylan Moore high, resulting in a free kick.
When asked how he was feeling, Moore was honest.
“Yeah f--k, sorry, excuse my language,” he said on Fox Footy . “Yeah, feels pretty raw mate, we did so much right to win that game and get the four points, and instead we walk away with two. That’s footy sometimes.
“It stings mate, but a lot to like out of that game.”
Moore said he was proud of his group and asked if he would have preferred extra time over a draw, he said, “Ask the fans”.
