Premiership Pie set to bow out

Collingwood’s Will Hoskin-Elliott has announced his retirement.
The 2023 premiership Pie will bow out at season’s end after 14 years in the AFL.
Hoskin-Elliott, 31, has played 190 games in black and white after starting his career with GWS where he played 52 games.
“I’m proud and honoured to call myself a Collingwood player and I have loved my time in the black and white. I leave with incredible memories, lifelong friendships and I can’t wait to see what the rest of this season holds for us,” he said in a club statement.
“Running out in the black and white, alongside my teammates, with the Magpie Army behind us, is so special. The feeling of hearing ‘Collingwood’ echo around the MCG, knowing we have such incredible fans, is what makes me so proud to play for Collingwood.
“Thank you to GWS, who gave me my first crack at AFL football, and to everyone at the Pies who have welcomed me and my family – there’s something special about seeing the kids run around the rooms after a game.”
The Western Jets product was drafted by the Giants with Pick 4 in the 2011 draft.
He was traded to the Pies in 2016 and quickly became a vital player for the club due to his versatility.
Hoskin-Elliott has played 242 total AFL games. He last played against Hawthorn in Round 22.
