It’s heartwarming to see the Collingwood Football Club rally around coach Craig McRae and his family during a difficult time. Before their recent game against Melbourne, McRae shared the news that his brother-in-law had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND), adding an emotional layer to their participation in the ‘Big Freeze’ fundraiser for FightMND.

Darcy Moore’s gesture after Collingwood’s victory, inviting McRae’s brother-in-law Patty to join the team’s celebration, was a touching display of support. Patty’s presence clearly meant a lot to the team, and his inclusion in the post-match festivities highlighted the strength of the Collingwood community.

McRae’s emphasis on family extends beyond his personal circumstances, as evidenced by the club’s decision to prioritize family commitments for players like Oleg Markov, who was allowed to miss a game to attend his brother-in-law’s wedding. This commitment to family values underscores the importance of creating a supportive environment within the club, where players and staff can prioritize their well-being and personal relationships.

Ultimately, Collingwood’s actions reflect a commitment to fostering a culture of support and compassion, both on and off the field.
