It&#x27;s certainly odd. There&#x27;s a part of me that thinks if you look at the numbers, how did we only come away with only two points?&quot; Mitchell said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;But then [given the score] with two minutes to go, how did we get two points?<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#x27;m unsure how to feel. To me, that&#x27;s one of the beauties of sport. I know there&#x27;s a lot of talk about the draw and playing extra time &#8230; But having a different emotion \u2013 that you don&#x27;t normally get \u2013 adds to the beauty of sport.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Collingwood coach Craig McRae rued his side&#x27;s late-game slip but found some positives in the night.\ufeff<\/p>\n<p>&quot;When you&#x27;re in front by a goal with 40 seconds to go, you think you&#x27;d hang on to those,&quot; McRae said in his press conference.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I think we&#x27;ve got some work to do on that late-quarter decision-making and things like that. They kicked a goal right on the siren at half-time, they kicked another one [just before] three-quarter time and then get the one after the siren.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;But fundamentally, I said to the boys, we didn&#x27;t win tonight but we definitely didn&#x27;t lose, and it&#x27;s important to acknowledge that we played some really good footy against arguably the best team in the competition, who came in tonight to see how our game stacks up. I think most of our fans would have been pretty happy.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>&quot;F&#8212;.
