Collingwood coach Craig McRae has revealed Billy Frampton will replace fellow key position recruit Dan McStay in the Magpies’ Grand Final team.
The 201cm former Crow will play his first game since round 24 and 16th for the year on Saturday after the Pies decided to stick with its current composition of talls in the season decider.
Craig McRae says Billy Frampton will offer ‘good flexibility’ for the Magpies in the Grand Final as he replaces Dan McStay.
