Collingwood coach Craig McRae has sidestepped a war of words with Sydney counterpart John Longmire, admitting he went too far with his post-match comments about a contentious umpiring decision.
McRae was officially cautioned by the AFL on Monday but doubled-down on his assessment that Dan McStay should have been paid a 50-metre penalty in the dying stages of the Magpies' three-point loss to the Swans last Friday night.
