Arlo Draper Biography

The Magpies delist five players including Trent Bianco, Trey Ruscoe, Tom Wilson, Arlo Draper and Cooper Murley.

"Decision-making at this time of the year is always tough and we thank each of the players for their contribution to the Collingwood Football Club," Magpies general manager of football Graham Wright said.

"Trent, Trey, Tom, Arlo and Cooper have all played an important role in this year's success and that has not gone unrecognised. We thank them for their dedication to our football program."

Collingwood select Arlo Draper with pick No.45 in the 2021 National Draft.

Draft Report: The agile 186cm onballer weaves through traffic with ease and can go forward and hit the scoreboard - booting 10 goals and averaging 24 disposals in eight under-18 matches - with his strong overhead marking and allround class. After a strong return from injury at reserves level, the versatile 18-year-old, who has plenty of time with ball in hand, made his senior debut in Round 17, finishing with a goal from 11 disposals and five marks, playing a half-forward role. It's been an interesting end to the year for the highly-rated Draper. He had an impact at senior level and showed off his key traits ? inside 50 and through the middle ? early in the under-19 carnival. But he didn't take hold of the game in any position and then was injured in the grand final curtain raiser, keeping him out of draft combine. The question now is, where is Draper's best position at the top level?
