Collingwood Makes List Changes Ahead of AFL Draft

Collingwood has confirmed the delisting of three players as part of its roster changes ahead of the AFL Draft. Among those affected are Harrison Coe and Noah Howes, who will not receive contracts for 2027, while Harry DeMattia has also been delisted but will be re-selected in the rookie draft.

DeMattia, who was signed through 2027, has not yet made his debut. His name was mentioned during the trade period as a potential candidate for movement if a suitable opportunity arose. The Magpies had drafted him with Pick 25 in 2023.

Collingwood remains open to considering Howes for the upcoming national or rookie drafts. Coe's delisting followed the signing of Flynn Riley, who was brought in as ruck cover. Additionally, Jai Saxena, a talent from the Next Generation Academy, has been extended for another year after showing promise at the VFL level.
