Callum Coleman-Jones Biography

Callum Coleman-Jones is a Kangaroo after a deal is struck between North Melbourne and Richmond that also sees Robbie Tarrant become a Tiger.

North Melbourne handed over a future-second round pick, pick No.40 this year and veteran Tarrant in exchange for Coleman-Jones, picks No.42, 47 and a future-fourth round pick.

Richmond has offered young key forward Callum Coleman-Jones a two-year deal as the talented tall considers his future.

The out-of-contract 22-year-old has interest from clubs including Gold Coast, while the Tigers remain keen to keep him as a part of their future forward line plans.

Coleman-Jones played eight games this season, including a four-goal haul against Adelaide in round 11 in his first appearance of the year and just the second game of his AFL career. He booted 11 goals for the season and is viewed as a long-term forward option who can also be used in the ruck.

Uncertainty surrounds the futures of Richmond pair Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones at the club after coach Damien Hardwick stopped short of guaranteeing they will be with the Tigers in 2021 following their bans due to their much-publicised off-field indiscretion.

"That will be determined in due course from our point of view. They're very good players. We're disappointed in the actions so we don't want to sit there and make assertions on what it's going to look like moving forward," Hardwick said.

Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones apologise their late-night escapade in breach of the AFL's strict COVID-19 protocols that cost the Tigers $100,000 in fines.

"I just wanted to take the opportunity to apologise for the mistake I made. I'm very sorry, understand the seriousness of it and can do nothing now but own the consequences," Stack said via Instagram.

"I take full responsibility for what I have done and am extremely remorseful. I realise what I did was selfish and had the potential to jeopardise the continuation of the competition being played in Queensland," Coleman-Jones said.

Richmond duo Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones are under investigation by the AFL and the Tigers after an incident on the Gold Coast.

Stack and Coleman-Jones received Queensland police-issued infringement notices for public nuisance for allegedly being involved in a fight at about 3:30 AM on Friday near a strip club in Surfers Paradise.

The pair are facing potential season-ending bans for breaching the AFL's strict COVID-19 protocols.

Richmond players Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones will be banished from Queensland and suspended for 10 matches after being caught in an incident near a Surfers Paradise strip club in the early hours of the morning.

Their indiscretion also cost the Tigers a fine of $100,000 imposed by the AFL, $75,000 of which the club has asked Stack and Coleman-Jones to pay. However, the AFL Players Association has argued the club cannot penalise the duo beyond the League's 10-game ban, under the terms agreed between the AFL and the players' union.

Stack and Coleman-Jones officially breached the AFL's COVID-19 protocols in taking an Uber, visiting a non-approved Gold Coast venue and becoming involved in an incident that involved Queensland Police. Stack was detained by police and released a short time after.

"We own the mistakes and we take responsibility, it was extremely disappointing and disrespectful to the entire AFL community, to the Queensland government and to our fans and members," Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale said.

Callum Coleman-Jones makes his AFL debut for Richmond at the MCG with 13 disposals (6 kicks and 7 handballs), 3 marks, 5 tackles and 10 hitouts in a 23-point win over Essendon.

Callum Coleman-Jones will make his AFL debut this week against Essendon at the MCG.

"'CJ', we call him 'The Zombie' because he seems so much older than he actually is. He's got a great head on his shoulders, he's worked incredibly hard this year," Tigers teammate Dylan Grimes said.

"Given the depth we had at the start of the year, he knew he had to work really hard in order to get a game and be patient for his opportunity and he's certainly done that.

"He took one of the better marks I've seen at VFL level a few weeks back, so he's an excitement machine and we're looking forward to seeing what he can bring."

Richmond has locked away hard-running forward Kane Lambert until the end of 2022, with the premiership star re-signing alongside younger teammates Ryan Garthwaite and Callum Coleman-Jones.

Lambert was due to come out of contract at the end of 2019, but a new three-year deal is just reward for the 27-year-old who has come on in leaps and bounds in recent seasons.

Garthwaite has signed on until 2020, while Coleman-Jones, who is yet to make his debut for Richmond, has recommitted until the end of 2021.
