Collingwood Senior Coach Craig McRae has introduced the team’s new players to the squad in a meeting earlier this week. The new recruits, who were drafted by the Magpies in the recent AFL National Draft, were welcomed to the team by McRae and other senior players.
The new players include:
Oliver Hollands A highly skilled midfielder from the Murray Bushrangers, who was selected by the Magpies with pick 4 in the National Draft. Hollands is known for his exceptional speed, agility, and endurance, and is expected to make an immediate impact on the team.
Ted Clohesy A talented forward from the Geelong Falcons, who was selected by the Magpies with pick 18 in the National Draft. Clohesy is a versatile player who can play both in the midfield and up forward, and is known for his strong marking and goal-kicking ability.
Lachlan Cashion A versatile defender from the Eastern Ranges, who was selected by the Magpies with pick 36 in the National Draft. Cashion is a strong and athletic player who can play both in the backline and up forward, and is known for his exceptional spoiling ability and decision-making.
Tom McCallum A ruckman from the Tasmania Devils, who was selected by the Magpies with pick 53 in the National Draft. McCallum is a tall and athletic player who is known for his exceptional ruckwork and marking ability, and is expected to provide strong support to the team’s existing ruckmen.
McRae was impressed with the new recruits and is looking forward to seeing them develop and contribute to the team.
“We’re really excited to welcome these young players to the Collingwood Football Club,” McRae said. “They all bring unique skills and attributes to the table, and we’re looking forward to seeing them develop and grow as players.”
The new players were also welcomed by the team’s senior players, including captain Darcy Moore and vice-captain Steele Sidebottom.
“It’s always exciting to welcome new players to the team,” Moore said. “We’re looking forward to getting to know them and helping them settle into the team.”
The new recruits will join the team for pre-season training in the coming weeks, where they will begin their journey as Collingwood players.
“We’re looking forward to seeing these young players develop and grow as part of our team,” McRae said. “We’re excited to see what the future holds for them.”
