It was a brutal night at Marvel Stadium, with Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell pulling no punches after his side’s heavy loss to Collingwood, declaring his team was “miles off it” in a one-sided affair that exposed the gulf between contenders and rebuilders.
The Magpies, however, didn’t escape unscathed — suffering a double injury blow that could shape the next few rounds of the AFL season.
