Collingwood President Eddie McGuire is keeping his cards close to his chest in relation to Adam Treloar from Greater Western Sydney and Adelaide's Patrick Dangerfield, both of whom are out of contract at the end of the season.

"We're not going to be talking about coaches, we're not going to be talking about players, we're worried about the West Coast Eagles this week," McGuire told reporters.

"I'm not going to bore you with one-week-at-a-time, and I'm not going to answer boring questions."

Speaking at the MCG, which is set up for an international soccer tournament, McGuire then joked he was looking to poach Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

"You can ask me about anyone … Cristiano Ronaldo apparently is going to come to Collingwood as well."

"So we look forward to recruiting him, he's coming, he'll have a look at the MCG over the weekend, come over to the Westpac (to) have a train, he might stay, I reckon."

Earlier this month Magpies Chief Executive Gary Pert publicly backed coach Nathan Buckley as the man to lead the club forward beyond his currently contracted term (which runs until the end of 2016), meaning McGuire laughed off questions about Buckley's future.

"Well, he can finish off his contract in the first place, we don't talk about coaches at Collingwood like that … no, not answering that question," McGuire said.

"I'm not reluctant to get involved, mate, because I'll make the decision and it's not time to make any decisions regarding the coach," he said.

McGuire was the master of ceremonies at an AFL event to launch this season's Multicultural Round activities, which will be focused on the round 19 Collingwood-Carlton fixture.

The seventh-placed Magpies will host West Coast at Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon in search of their ninth win of the season.
