The Craig McRae coaching masterclass that inspired a stunning Magpies comeback victory
Magpies coach Craig McRae has paid tribute to his side’s spirit and ability to ride their momentum.
He also said the side’s younger players were stepping up, and he hoped to bring youngster Sam Swadling back into the side next week after managing him this week.
“Certain things travel with you, and one of them is our spirit,” McRae told Kayo Sports post-game.
“We probably showed the footy world that we play for each other when we were on the Gold Coast and Bruzzy [Brayden Maynard] was involved in that incident.
Crows coach Matthew Nicks was hurting post-game, both about the 10-goal turnaround that saw his side lose to Collingwood tonight, and the way some Crows fans chose to boo Isaac Quaynor.

Magpies surge into top-six mix with Adelaide ambush
COLLINGWOOD has spoiled Taylor Walker's party, defeating the Crows by 34 points at Adelaide Oval to claim its biggest scalp of the season.
Forced to withstand Adelaide's excellent early pressure, the Magpies did just that, booting 10 second-half goals to four to run out 16.12 (108) to 11.8 (74) winners on Thursday night.
Both sides had their moments in a hard-fought first term which was highlighted by Walker slotting goal No.700 of his illustrious career.
But he didn't remain on 700 for long, bringing up his second and third of the night either side of quarter-time as the Crows got out to a 27-point lead.
Watch all the highlights from the Pies' 34-point win in its Round 20 clash with Adelaide.
