Collingwood has released a statement after a meeting with a member who used offensive and racially loaded language during last Friday night’s match against Sydney.
The Collingwood Football Club met today with a member who used offensive and racially loaded language during last Friday night’s match against the Sydney Swans at the MCG.
As a result of the meeting, a confidential understanding was reached which will see the man participate in education and counselling related to racial vilification. An apology to Sydney players Adam Goodes and Lewis Jetta has also been written.
For reasons of privacy, Collingwood will be making no further comment on the matter.
The clock was ticking down in 2024 as the Pies once again found themselves trailing by less than a goal. An end-to-end play through the corridor ended in Jordan De Goey's hands and was the dagger that once again got Collingwood over the line in a close finish.
