Collingwood Pursues Carlton's Flynn Riley for Mid-Season Ruck Boost
Collingwood is reportedly interested in acquiring Flynn Riley, a mid-season ruck from Carlton, to enhance their ruck depth at Olympic Park.
The team is seeking to address their ruck situation after losing Oscar Steene to an ACL injury, which will keep him out for a significant part of the upcoming season. With Darcy Cameron as their primary option, Collingwood is hesitant to rely on Dan McStay and Jack Buller.
Collingwood's management had previously expressed interest in Riley during the mid-season draft but was unable to secure him before Carlton selected him. The Blues have a surplus of ruck options, including Marc Pittonet and Liam Reidy, and are open to negotiating a deal for Riley, who made his AFL debut in Round 18 against Hawthorn.
