Tony Shaw has raised concerns about the effort from Collingwood’s players and has urged coach Craig McRae to “take control” as their premiership defense falters.
After a heavy loss to Hawthorn on Saturday, the Pies find themselves two games outside the top eight.
In an interview with 3AW Football, Shaw criticized the team for losing their knack for winning crucial contests, suggesting they have lost the “little edge” that was key to their success in 2023.
