Collingwood has today informed Callum Brown, Tyler Brown, Isaac Chugg and Liam McMahon that they will not be offered new contracts with the Club for 2023. 

Callum Brown arrived at Collingwood as a father-son pick in the 2016 AFL National Draft and his brother Tyler followed suit the following year.  

Callum played a total of 70 games and kicked 23 goals in the black and white but was held to only 20 games over the past two campaigns as he struggled through a mix of injury and form. Tyler similarly was unlucky on the injury front with a season-ending shoulder injury in 2021 followed by a fatigue-related illness this year limiting his selection opportunity.  

Chugg played two games and was enlisted by the Club as a rookie for two years while McMahon was selected in the 2020 AFL National Draft but is yet to make his AFL debut. The pair spent time developing their football craft in Collingwood’s VFL side.  

“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,” Collingwood’s GM of Football Graham Wright said. 

“For Isaac and Liam, they are two players who have always done the team thing and we thank them for their dedication to our Club. 

“Callum and Tyler – sons of premiership player Gavin Brown – we could not be prouder of their professionalism and the positive influence they have had on their peers during their time at the Club. 

“Callum has had six years at the Club and has played 70 games while Tyler has spent five years at Collingwood playing 27 games. 

“On behalf of everyone at the Club, we wish each player all the very best for their futures and we hope they continue to develop their games and work towards reaching their football potential. 

“As Collingwood people, we will continue to support each player on and off the field.”
