Collingwood has locked in eight new jumper numbers for the 2021 AFL Women’s season.
4 – Abbey Green
The ruck-forward will put on the number four for the Pies this season. The number was formerly worn by Sarah D’Arcy since the inaugural AFLW season.
5 - Amelia Velardo
Drafted with pick 25, Velardo will put on the famous number five for the Magpies. She’ll become just the second custodian of the number which was previously worn by Emma Grant.
11 – Imogen Purcell
The cross-code rookie will be given number 11 which was previously worn by recent retiree Eliza Hynes as well as Helen Roden in the inaugural AFLW season.
16 – Aliesha Newman
Newman will carry over the number 16, the same number she wore at the Demons. The number was previously worn by Katie Lynch for two seasons.
19 – Bella Smith
The predominant rebounding defender will put on number 19 this coming season. The number has been worn since Georgie Parker in 2018 and 2019 and Louise Wotton in 2017.
20 – Joanna Lin
The reliable midfielder will wear number 20 which was previously worn by Kaila Bentvelzen in 2020 and Cecelia McIntosh in the league’s first three seasons.
26 – Tarni Brown
Tarni Brown will wear the number 26 that was made famous by her father, Gavin Brown. The number hasn’t been worn since Tara Morgan in the first two AFLW seasons.
40- Abbi Moloney
Joining the forward line in 2021, Moloney will be the Pies’ first AFLW player to put on the number 40.
All re-contracted players have maintained their 2020 jumper numbers.
