Collingwood has picked up Brisbane Lion Anthony Corrie for a bargain-basement pick 93 in a trade week shock at Telstra Dome this morning.
The Magpies pick is actually a seventh round selection, a rarely used commodity in past seasons.
Corrie, 24, played 20 games this year for a career tally of 53.
He is considered to be a quick, skilful player who spent most of 2008 playing as an effective small forward, having booted 21 goals.
Corrie has the ability to play in the midfield and is renowned for his chasing and tackling an dashing runs through the lines.
Corrie missed most of 2007 suffering a knee reconstruction but made a full recovery for the 2008 season.
Currently vacationing in Europe, he will return to meet his new teammates next month.
CTV will be the first to interview him as a Magpie upon his return.

Rhyce Shaw to Sydney
Collingwood defender Rhyce Shaw has been traded to the Sydney Swans.
The Swans have given up a third-round NAB AFL Draft pick No.46 in return for Shaw and round-four pick No. 61.
After a very quiet trade week, the Shaw exchange kicked off a flurry of action with the Magpies securing Lion Anthony Corrie and Bulldog Farren Ray heading to St Kilda.
Shaw, the son of former Magpie captain Ray Shaw and brother of defender Heath, played 94 games in his seven-year career.
Taken as a father-son selection by Collingwood in the 1999 NAB AFL Draft (No.18 overall), Shaw played 20 of 24 games in 2008, including the club's two finals, averaging more than 20 disposals.
