Like father, like son
Callum Brown has had Collingwood in his blood from the moment he was born on 27 April 1998.

At the time, his father, Gavin, was nursing an injured Achilles, and the Magpies, the team Gavin captained, had beaten the Bombers on ANZAC Day two days prior.

Like his father, Callum is a product of Marcellin College, and is a graduate of the Eastern Rangers in the TAC Cup.

He represented Vic Metro at last year’s National Under 18 Championships.

“He’s as clean below his knees as I’ve seen – he’s very much Caleb Daniel like as well in terms of how he doesn’t waste his possessions,” Eastern’s talent manager Len Villani told Inside Football last November.

“The one thing he is, he is just super competitive, super determined, very driven and just a beautiful, natural footballer.”

His pre-season was stymied by glandular fever, but after six VFL games, Brown is averaging 22.5 disposals, 4.3 tackles and 4.3 clearances. He collected a combined 60 disposals in his past two games, and flew to Perth as the travelling emergency last Sunday.



Gavin and Callum are pictured prior to the former's 250th game for Collingwood, against Hawthorn in round 16, 2000.

Welcome back Langers
Debuting in the opening round of the 2014 season, Tom Langdon played 41 of a possible 44 games in his first two years as a Magpie.

He has since played just six of the 33 that have followed, and none since 1 May last year.

Langdon, who will turn 23 on Friday, has endured a wretched run with knee and ankle injuries, but has averaged a whopping 27 disposals in his three VFL games since returning.

Importantly, he is averaging 5.7 marks per game, including 2.7 intercepts.

He won 20 disposals and had seven rebounds from half back during Collingwood’s win over Sandringham at Victoria Park last Sunday.
