Club Focus Collingwood 2023 - White & Campbell are Magpies

[Lore]

Having dropped out of finals, Collingwood finished 6th overall in 2022 and have picks 17, 35, 53, 71, 89, 107, 125 in the National Draft. In the Victorian state draft these are picks 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70.

What do they need to do with their list to improve for 2023?

Reckon we're one of (if not the biggest) disadvantaged teams from an August start. Missing two of our three best midfielders for the entire season, and have the third worst pick in the Victorian pool, on top of expansion. We need a readymade midfielder, and an actual athletic key forward.

Much like the men's team, the defence is elite, the mid has big names but the forward line lets us down (though 2022 for the men's is working out nicely).

Chloe Molloy on the move, it appears she's headed to Sydney where they're able to offer a tier 1 spot and potentially a long-term contract of up to 4 years. Collingwood can lose up to two players through PSP expansion, though might not lose any more.

Thank you Chloe Molloy

AFLW player Chloe Molloy has informed Collingwood that she will depart the Club to take up a new opportunity with another AFLW team.

Molloy was drafted to Collingwood with the Club’s first pick and third selection overall in the 2017 AFLW Draft.

An outstanding debut season in 2018 saw Molloy claim both the AFL Women’s Rising Star Award and the Club’s Best and Fairest Award that year.

Across six seasons, the 24-year-old has played 47 games in the black and white (kicking 37 goals) and is a two-time All Australian (2018 and 2021).

Collingwood’s Head of Women’s Football Jess Burger thanked Molloy for her outstanding contribution to the Club.

“Since being drafted to Collingwood, ‘Moy’ has been a valued member of our program,” Burger said.

“Over the past five years, Chloe has been a great ambassador for our Club and the wider AFLW competition and it’s been great to watch her grow and develop as both a player and person over the course of that time.

“Not only has Chloe demonstrated outstanding talent on the field, but she has also made strong contributions off field including as an opposition analyst during her time on the sidelines with a Lisfranc injury in 2019.

“In this situation, we understand that she was interested in seeking an opportunity interstate in pursuit of a new lifestyle.

“Whilst we’re disappointed Chloe won’t be a part of the continued growth of our program, we are confident in the depth and talent of our playing list to ensure continued improvement in the 2023 season and beyond.”

“On behalf of everyone at Collingwood, we would like to thank Chloe for all she has brought to our Club and we wish her all the best for this next chapter of her career.”
