Collingwood delists trio including athletic but injury-prone forward

Collingwood has delisted three players with Jack Bytel, Josh Eyre and Nathan Kreuger not offered contracts for 2025.

Krueger battled several injuries after joining Collingwood ahead of the 2022 season and played 13 AFL games in black and white.

Bytel made seven appearances for Collingwood in 2024 after joining as an Pre-Season Supplemental Selection in February following five years at St Kilda.

Eyre never made a senior appearance for Collingwood after also joining as an SSP addition in February with his 2024 also injury affected.

Pies list boss Justin Leppitsch thanked the trio for their efforts across their time at the club.

“Decision-making at this time of the year is always difficult and we thank each of the players for their contribution to our Club,” Leppitsch said via a statement.

“Whilst only with us for a short period, Jack and Josh added value to both our VFL and AFL programs, and we thank them for their dedication.

“Nathan’s resilience to return from numerous injuries, and remain committed to his football and this program, needs to be commended.

“On behalf of everyone at the Club, we wish each player all the very best and we hope they continue to work towards reaching their football potential.”
