He’s the only (AFL or VFL-listed) Collingwood player who was named.

Congrats Fin.

Is up against some stiff competition to get in to the final team but a good effort to be named in the initial squad.

Gee I reckon Trey Ruscoe was a bit stiff. Strong and consistent all year.

Great news for Finn I hope he can make the next step now and carve out a spot in the ones. Ideally we’d have players ready to play as Pendles, Sidey, WHE Adams and Howe bow out soon

Great effort by Fin.

Agree that Ruscoe was stiff.
