Will Kelly to debut for Collingwood – The Age

Will Kelly, the son of premiership player Craig, will make his debut for Collingwood against Hawthorn.
The key forward will come into the side to take on the Hawks on Friday night after a string of impressive performances in the reserves practice matches. He kicked three goals in the last game and presented well as a marking target.

At 194cms tall he is taller than his brother Jake who plays key defence at the Adelaide Crows. He is likely to replace Mason Cox who had two poor games after his recall to the side.
Collingwood’s forward line has been spluttering this year, kicking goals in bursts then being unable to score for entire quarters.
Craig ‘Ned’ Kelly was a key backman in Collingwood’s 1990 premiership team. The Kelly family will be unable to be at the ground in Sydney to see the debut in person due to Melbourne’s lockdown.
Big-bodied midfielder Brayden Sier is also close to selection in the senior team after another best on ground effort in the practice match.
