For fans, this signing is more than just a list addition — it’s the continuation of a story that began generations ago. As Collingwood eyes another premiership push, the spirit of Ray Jones lives on through his grandson. With talent, heritage, and heart on his side, Jack Buller looks poised to carve his own name into Magpie folklore.
