Former Eastern Ranges player Tarni Brown made her AFLW debut for Collingwood on Thursday 28 January.

The 18 year old collected nine disposals and laid two tackles as Collingwood beat rivals Carlton by six points in the 2021 AFLW season opener.

Brown made history as the Pies’ first ever father-daughter selection at the 2020 AFLW Draft as the daughter of Collingwood great, Gavin Brown.

She joins older brothers Callum and Tyler at the club marking the first time three siblings have played for the same AFL/W club at the same time.
