Collingwood to use two TAC top ups

Forums
Interesting tomorrow that two Calder Cannons - Daniel Buckley and Patrick Hayes - will pull on the Collingwood jumper and play in the VFL. Both guys are overage and play TAC Cup under the 19 year old rule. More interesting is that Hayes played a game earlier this year with the Coburg Reserves. Coburg last year gave draftees Mitch Farmer and James Polkinghorne a senior game each, but so far this year no Calder players have represented Coburg in a senior match. Obviously the Cannons have found an alternative. The question is what level of interest does Collingwood have in drafting either of the players?

Country cult figure to play for Pies?

Forums
Apparently country footy star Saad Saad has been training with Collingwood's VFL side. Not yet committed or signed, but interesting nevertheless. He's won three premierships with Seymour Football Club since crossing from the Northern Bullants. Also kicked 100 goals this season. Have seen him play in the GV, he's a real cult figure, can take high flying marks and kick bags of goals. Would be an exciting addition to the Pies side if he plays VFL.
