'Pretty gritty': Moore says much to learn from ugly win
By Roger Vaughan
Darcy Moore is unapologetic about the poor aesthetics, saying Collingwood will learn plenty from their ugly AFL win over Carlton.
After their narrow loss to Fremantle in the Gather Round rain, the Magpies roared back in the last quarter on Thursday night to deny the Blues by five points.
Collingwood improved to 3-3 and will start favourites against resurgent Essendon in the Anzac Day blockbuster, with Moore set to return from a hamstring injury.
