Collingwood coach Craig McRae is prioritizing the well-being of star forward Bobby Hill, who’s sidelined since last year despite holding a contract until 2030 and reportedly seeking an early exit. McRae reassured Hill he’s always welcome at the club, stepping back from contract talks to focus on his health. As Collingwood gears up for a high-stakes clash against the Crows in Adelaide — likened to a finals game — the team’s training energy remains strong, with McRae unlikely to rest veterans. Veteran Josh Daicos is sidelined with an ankle issue but expected to play, while Jeremy Howe is set to return from a calf injury.
