Collingwood’s Caolan Mooney will make his debut on Saturday afternoon, against Fremantle at the MCG, after a breakthrough five goal performance in the VFL last weekend.
The 19 year-old Irishman, from Rostrevor, County Down, has played only 13 games of Australian football but his speed and quick grasp of the code has seen him improve at a rapid rate in the mere months he has been with club.
After being signed during the 2010 season , Mooney was rookie listed as an international draftee last December and has now been elevated to the senior list to replace Lachie Keefe. Keefe has been placed on the long term injury list after suffering a serious knee injury in the match against Adelaide in round nine.
