Collingwood will blood a new Magpie in round one, with Templestowe’s very own Tyler Brown, pulling on the black and white for his first senior game of AFL.

The surname has a rich history at both Templestowe and Collingwood with father Gavin captaining the Magpies, winning the 1990 premiership and playing 254 games.

The 19-year-old was notified on Wednesday morning which will bring great excitement in light of playing in front of no fans.
