Collingwood is reportedly targeting Gold Coast Suns’ star midfielder Matt Rowell in a bold potential trade move ahead of the 2025 AFL season. Rowell, a former No. 1 draft pick and one of the league’s most dynamic players, has one year remaining on his current contract with the Suns. Collingwood, known for its proactive approach in the trade market, is expected to make a strong push to bring him to Victoria.
The Magpies are not the only team interested, but they are seen as a leading contender due to their status as a powerhouse in the AFL. Gold Coast, meanwhile, is keen to secure Rowell’s long-term commitment to their rebuilding plans
