Collingwood welcomes midfielder Mattea Breed who has signed a two-year deal with the Club.
As part of the trade with Hawthorn, Breed arrives at Collingwood alongside pick 26 in exchange for picks 22 and 28 in this year’s Telstra AFLW Draft.
Drafted to the Hawks with pick four in the AFLW Season Eight Supplementary Draft, Breed went on to play 20 games across her two seasons with the side.
The Northern Territory product had an incredible 2024 season, averaging 13.6 disposals and a total of 50 clearances.
Week Eight against GWS was arguably the 23-year-old's best game, with 21 disposals, a game high 11 clearances, 16 uncontested possessions, and equalling first in tackles (eight).
Breed further impressed this season, finishing as second finalist for the 2024 Virgin Australia AFLW Mark of the Year award.
Collingwood General Manager of Women’s Football Jess Burger welcomed Breed to the Pies.
“We’re delighted to welcome Mattea to Collingwood, who will be a part of our program until at least the end of 2026,” Burger said.
“Mattea provides great drive through the midfield and staying ahead of the ball, impressing in the contest and her attacking ability.
“We are eagerly looking forward to her next chapter in the black and white.”
Collingwood currently has picks 1, 26, 45, 55, 73, 91, 109 and 127 in the 2024 Telstra AFLW Draft which will be held next Monday, December 16.
