Lachie Schultz, Fremantle Dockers, return home to Victoria, Collingwood Magpies, go home factor, analysis, Jack Ginnivan\u060c<\/p>\n
Collingwood secured a commercial “steal” by securing Docker Lachie Schultz, Fox Footy’s David King believes, as the reigning premiers sent a warning to the rest of the competition.<\/p>\n
The Magpies used the pick they got last week in Sydney for Taylor Adams to send to Fremantle – then added their future first-round pick as well.<\/p>\n
While the Dockers will bank on a slide at Collingwood in 2024, King believes the deal actually favors the Pies.<\/p>\n
