Seven Years After Winning a Flag, the Eagles Have Asked the AFL for Draft Help

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, JUL 30 – Collingwood is pursuing restricted free agent Jack Silvagni to strengthen defense after key injuries, with coach Craig McRae confirming initial talks and interest in a second meeting.

  • Last week, Collingwood coach Craig McRae discussed ongoing recruitment efforts, with no specific mention of a meeting with Carlton defender Jack Silvagni.
  • On Friday, Collingwood Football Club aimed to build defensive depth after Murphy's retirement and McInnes's ACL tear, with McRae saying they would continue exploring unrestricted free agents.
  • A four-year deal has been offered by Collingwood to Silvagni, 27, who has shone as a key back this year on his return from an ACL tear.
  • Carlton faces a potential loss if Silvagni departs, which would be a significant blow for the Blues, as Collingwood ramps up its pursuit, according to reports.
  • 7’s Caroline Wilson explained that Carlton's chief executive has become involved, and other Melbourne clubs could soon enter the race for Silvagni.
