The Pies selected Collingwood VFLW players Eleri Morris and Selena Karlson with Pick 13 and 14, respectively.
A New South Wales product, Morris previously spent time with the GWS Giants Academy program.
Last year, the forward booted 19 goals across her 13 games for the Inner West Magpies in the AFL Sydney League.
Away from football, the 26-year-old is currently serving as a Marine Engineer in the Royal Australian Navy.
Originally playing VFLW for the Southern Saints, Karlson was given her first AFLW opportunity in 2018 when she was drafted by the Western Bulldogs.
The 24-year-old defender made her AFLW debut in Round Four of the 2019 season and went on to play three games as a Bulldog.
From there, Karlson signed on as an expansion signing with St Kilda’s inaugural team in 2019 where she spent two seasons but was side lined with injury.
Collingwood’s Head of Women’s Football Jess Burger said Morris and Karlson are welcomed additions to the Club’s AFLW program.
“We’re extremely pleased to elevate both Eleri and Selena to our AFLW program following tonight’s draft,” Burger said.
“Eleri is a mobile forward who is strong in the air and is a proven goal-scorer. With playing experience at a range of levels, she brings a competitive edge which is an exciting element of her game.
“Selena has an outstanding footy IQ and offers both great leadership and experience at the elite level. She is a reliable defender who offers a strong voice and excellent decision-making skills under pressure.
“Throughout their time in our VFLW program, both Eleri and Selena have displayed great maturity and have driven elite training and cultural standards within our environment.
“We look forward to their contributions to our AFLW program and we’re excited to see this next stage of their playing careers take place in the black and white.
