Excitement swept through Marvel Stadium today as the Collingwood Football Club delivered a powerful message to its fans and the wider football community. In a statement issued by the Collingwood Board through club president Barry Carp, supporters were told to brace themselves for a significant development shaping the club’s future.

Moments later, Collingwood head coach Craig McRae stepped forward to make the announcement that sent shockwaves through the AFL world.

McRae officially revealed that Collingwood legend Mick Malthouse has been appointed as the club’s new Senior Football Mentor and Strategic Advisor, marking a stunning return for one of the most influential figures in Magpies history.

The move is seen as a masterstroke by the Collingwood hierarchy, blending McRae’s modern coaching brilliance with Malthouse’s unmatched experience, leadership, and premiership pedigree. Malthouse, who famously led Collingwood to the 2010 AFL Premiership, will work closely with the coaching group, players, and football department to strengthen standards, culture, and long-term success.

President Barry Carp praised the appointment, describing it as “a moment of unity between Collingwood’s proud past and its ambitious future.” He emphasized that Malthouse’s presence would be invaluable in guiding the club through the next phase of its journey.

Fans erupted across social media within minutes of the announcement, hailing the return of a true Magpies icon. Many see the move as a clear statement of intent: Collingwood is all-in on sustained success.

As Craig McRae put it, “This is about learning, growth, and excellence. Mick Malthouse embodies everything Collingwood stands for.”
