In a surprising revelation, an insider at Collingwood Football Club has disclosed that the club is eyeing a potential trade for Brisbane Lions’ 27-year-old defender, Tom Doedee. This comes as Collingwood seeks to strengthen its backline ahead of the upcoming AFL season. Doedee, known for his strong intercept marking and leadership qualities, could be a valuable addition to the Pies’ already formidable defense.
While no official deal has been struck yet, sources indicate that Collingwood’s interest in Doedee stems from his ability to read the play effectively and provide stability in the defensive 50. Doedee’s time at the Lions has been highlighted by consistent performances, making him one of the most reliable defenders in the league.
Collingwood is reportedly keen on making a strong push for the premiership next season and sees Doedee as a key component in achieving that goal. If the trade goes through, it could significantly boost the Magpies’ chances of maintaining their top-tier status in the AFL.
Fans and analysts alike are now eagerly awaiting further developments as both clubs engage in potential trade talks.
