Bryan Makes The Rare Carlton to Collingwood Move
This is something that you can leave a comment for, name a former Carlton player who then went to Collingwood in recent years. Or even the older days of the VFL if you can think of some players.
Chris Bryan is certainly taking a path that few before him have, going from Carlton to Collingwood.
Back in 1997 Collingwood picked Brett Warburton in the rookie draft, he was at Carlton but not on their main list. If you go back to the time of the midseason drafts, Collingwood once drafted little Fraser Murphy. Murphy didn't play a game for the Magpies though. The Magpies also drafted Ross Johns from Carlton with a preseason pick in 1992.
Bryan might be opening up a road for others to follow. When Nick Stevens was previously out of contract he wanted to go from the Power to the Magpies, that didn't happen but his big contract with Carlton is ending soon so there could be another chance for Stevens to go to Collingwood in the future.
Carlton have had some Collingwood recruits in recent years. Cameron Cloke, Trent Hotton, Heath Scotland, Mick McGuane, Barry Mitchell and also Peter McKenna quite a few years before the others.
Bryan has a new start at Collingwood. He is a at a team that needs his height and will provide him plenty of opportunities. The success of Collingwood to Carlton players hasn't been that great so now people can compare them to Bryan who is a rare Carlton to Collingwood player.

Didn't Collingwood try and lure Koutafides and Christou years ago?
They also had a bit of a go at Wayne Johnston years before that.
Anyway you're certainly prolific at producing content. Ever thought about getting an AFL blog syndicate together?
It probably isn' the writing that is prolific here, it is just that the offseason has as much news as the actual season.
Thank you both for your comments.
