Although much has been said about the new additions to Collingwood’s AFL list for 2013, the club’s VFL team has quietly gone about assembling a list chockfull of young talent during the pre-season.
One of the standouts of the summer has been Tom Tyquin from St Bedes / Mentone Tigers. A product of the TAC Cup Tommy has been rewarded for his application during the VFL pre-season with an invitation to the testing for AFL Victoria’s VFL Academy intake for 2013.
The 18-year-old Tyquin plays on the wing and across half back where his ball use and decision-making shone in the TAC Cup.
