In a strategic move to bolster their lineup for the upcoming AFL season, Collingwood Football Club has successfully secured several high-profile signings under the guidance of head coach Craig McRae. These acquisitions underscore the club’s commitment to strengthening its roster and enhancing its competitiveness.
Key Signings:
Dan Houston: In a significant three-team trade finalized five months ago, Collingwood acquired star defender Dan Houston from Port Adelaide. Houston’s elite ball skills and defensive prowess are expected to fortify the Magpies’ backline.
Harry Perryman: Five months ago, Collingwood secured GWS free agent Harry Perryman, who chose the Magpies over other clubs. Perryman’s versatility, having played both halfback and wing positions, will add depth to Collingwood’s midfield and defense.
Isaac Smith and Darcy Cameron: In November 2024, Collingwood announced the acquisition of midfielder Isaac Smith from Hawthorn and ruckman Darcy Cameron from Sydney. Smith’s experience and pace, combined with Cameron’s versatility in the ruck and forward positions, are anticipated to significantly enhance the team’s dynamics.
