Eagles coach McQualter to ask AFL for please explain

Collingwood coach Craig McRae said it “hasn’t been clear for a long time”.

“Way back when I was teaching (Collingwood veteran) Mason Cox the game, he says, ‘what’s this holding the ball thing?’ and I said, I don’t know, we’ll work it out,” McRae said.

“What are we, 10 years later, still I’m not sure.

“I just don’t want to be the guy that rings the AFL every week. That’s not my go.

“I’d let the game be the game. I’ll let the game settle.

“It’s amazing how many things, if you just give time and space to, somehow find a way of balancing itself out.”
