\u201cIt means so much. Adelaide had a really good year and we knew it would be challenging coming over here,\u201d he says of the win.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we knew the Magpie Army would travel, they paid expensive flight tickets and we wanted to put on a show for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daicos spent the morning having breakfast with brother Josh and dad Peter.<\/p>\n
What was the final message from the old man?<\/p>\n
\u201cGo f***ing win,\u201d Daicos says.<\/p>\n
Bruce McAvaney was almost speechless.<\/p>\n
\u201cO…K,\u201d he paused.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll take a breath.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was a big celebration in the Collingwood rooms afterwards with just about everyone joining the song.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose are rare scenes,\u201d Nick Riewoldt says.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou rarely see the CEO, board members, staff, everyone in.\u201d<\/p>\n
And then it was Craig McRae\u2019s turn to drop an F-bomb.<\/p>\n
Given the chance to say whatever he wanted to fans at home, he took it literally.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful for the ones who have travelled, the ones who are home celebrating now,\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love you. We f***ing love ya.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hamish McLachlan and Riewoldt could only laugh.<\/p>\n
\u201cPardon the F-bomb but that\u2019s just what this game does,\u201d McLachlan says.<\/p>\n
Riewoldt adds: \u201cIt\u2019s emotion, Hame. You never know what you\u2019re going to get in Macca\u2019s Extra Time. That was a Happy Meal with the lot from Craig McRae.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cIt means so much.
