Collingwood captain Darcy Moore was gutted after his side’s thrilling 93-93 draw against Hawthorn at the MCG on Thursday night.
In the dying seconds of the game, Moore dropped a mark in defensive 50 and gave away a free kick for a high tackle on Dylan Moore, who went back and slotted the equalising goal after the siren.

It was one of the games of the year, but the Magpies would be disappointed to come away with only two points from the draw after taking it up to Hawthorn without Scott Pendlebury after his ANZAC Day heroics.
Speaking to Cameron Mooney on Kayo Sports post-game, Moore was clearly still coming down from the intensity of the game and accidentally let an F-bomb slip.
“Not the result you probably wanted but a draw’s a draw, how are you feeling?” Mooney asked.
Moore replied: “Yeah, f***ed, sorry excuse my language.
“It feels pretty raw mate. It feels like we did so much right to win that game and get the four points but we walk away with two.

“That’s footy and it stings but there was a lot to like out of that game as well … we’re pretty proud of how we defended but we just needed to defend a little bit better to get the four points.”
It was a night of F-bombs, with Channel 7 reporter Mitch Cleary not realising he was on live TV after the commentators cut to him with Jai Newcombe in the Hawthorn rooms.
“Let’s start that again,” Cleary said after stumbling over a question, joking to Newcombe: “You’re going to f*** up now. Take two.”
The draw moves Collingwood into sixth on the ladder and the Hawks two points clear in first position with plenty of football to come in Round 8. It’s the first ever draw between the two teams in AFL history.
“They had them! They’ll feel like they dropped two points here,” David King said of Collingwood.
“Get out of jail free card for us,” Jack Ginnivan then told Fox Footy.
“We’ll take the two points.”
It was a brave effort from Collingwood who, already without veteran superstar Scott Pendlebury and a host of fellow big names, bravely shrugged off multiple injury concerns.
Without Harry Perryman (hamstring) after half time, Darcy Cameron (knee and ankle), Steele Sidebottom (hand) and Dan Houston (lip) all spent lengthy periods on the bench.
Collingwood were seven points up after Steele Sidebottom cashed in on a 50m penalty against Cam Mackenzie late in the final term.
Mackenzie had come cruising by after a horror advantage call for Jack Ginnivan – but there was no advantage and he coughed up the turnover.
And when Sidebottom was marched inside 50 and goaled, the Pies almost looked home with just four minutes to play.
Collingwood just had to clear their defensive 50 in the dying seconds – but couldn’t do it as Tom Barrass took the big contested mark.
He sent it inside 50, it was put down by Darcy Moore and the rest is history.
