ESPN VERIFIED: Few Minutes Ago, Collingwood Football Head Coach Craig McRae Steps Down Amid “Significant Error”

In what can only be described as a stunning twist that has shocked fans, confused kangaroos, and left Pies supporters refreshing Twitter every five seconds, Collingwood Football Club head coach Craig McRae has reportedly stepped down—not because of performance issues or scandal, but due to a “significant error” of mysterious origin.

According to “sources close to someone who once walked past the club,” the resignation came just moments ago, sending ripples through the AFL community and raising eyebrows across ESPN’s verified—but suspiciously vague—news feed.

The Mysterious “Error”

While details remain sketchy, early reports suggest that the “significant error” may involve one or more of the following:

• Accidentally naming himself as the substitute player on the team sheet.
• Playing the team’s pre-game pump-up playlist on shuffle and accidentally queuing up ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” at full volume.
• Trading a future first-round draft pick for a meat pie and a lukewarm Powerade.
• Mistaking the Grand Final for a pre-season game and benching the entire starting midfield.

Club insiders refused to confirm or deny any of these claims, but did offer a comment:

“We’re aware of the situation and Craig is currently… re-evaluating his clipboard responsibilities.”

Fans React

As expected, reactions from the Collingwood faithful have ranged from stunned silence to elaborate conspiracy theories.

“This has to be a prank, right? Or is this just another AI deepfake gone rogue?” one fan posted on Reddit, under the username Pies4LyfeNotAI.

Others pointed out the suspicious nature of the headline itself, particularly the phrasing “Few Minutes Ago” and the cryptic use of “Facing…… view more,” which seems less like journalism and more like an unfinished scam email.

McRae Breaks Silence (Sort Of)

Shortly after the news broke, McRae was spotted outside the club’s training facility sipping coffee and shaking his head.

“I just stepped outside for five minutes and now I’m apparently unemployed?” he told confused reporters. “Must’ve been a significant error, alright.”

Sources close to McRae say he’s likely still the coach and that the entire saga may have been sparked by a rogue social media post, a hacked ESPN intern account, or a ChatGPT-powered headline generator gone haywire.

Final Whistle

As of press time, Craig McRae remains the head coach of Collingwood (probably), the team is still training for their next match (presumably), and “view more” continues to lead to absolutely nothing.

One thing’s for sure: if this was a “significant error,” it certainly made for a significantly entertaining headline.
