COLLINGWOOD AFL PREMIERS 2010 DVD Brand new still wrapped

(2010)

In 2010, Collingwood finished as minor premiers, and after wins in the qualifying and preliminary finals, reached the first Grand Final against St Kilda. The match finished as a draw, forcing the first grand final replay in 33 years. Collingwood won the replay by 56 points. The club won a second consecutive minor premiership in 2011, and qualified for the Grand Final after a three-point victory against Hawthorn in the preliminary final. However, Collingwood was then beaten by Geelong by 38 points in the decider, after trailing by seven points at three-quarter time. Star midfielder Dane Swan won the 2011 Brownlow medal with a record 34 votes.

The Collingwood Football Club, nicknamed the Magpies or less formally the Pies, is an AFLclub which plays in the Australian Football League. Formed in 1892, the club was named after the inner-Melbourne suburb of Collingwood,  and was originally based at Victoria Park in Abbotsford; the club is now based in the nearby Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Precinct in Melbourne, playing its home games at the MCG and with its training and administrative base at Olympic Park Oval and the Holden Centre.

The win over St. Kilda came 44 years after the Saints had deprived Collingwood of the 1966 Premiership by a point.  After gripping excitement of the draw this was a replay that once again established the Magpies as the best team in the AFL.

Collingwood with a convincing win over the Saints. The pies took the lead early and never looked back as they powered their way through to be the 2010 premiers.

Collingwood is the most supported club in the AFL, and has consistently attracted much higher than average crowds to its home games than other clubs in the league, and had a league record of 71,516 members in the 2011 season. This spike in membership registration can mainly be attributed to the winning of the 2010 AFL Premiership. This record was again broken in 2013, with club reaching a new high of 80,000 members. Collingwood is regarded as one of Australia's most popular clubs, being the highest attended and most viewed professional sports club in the nation.

Collingwood's home guernsey  consists of black and white stripes, matching the colours of an Australian magpie. Throughout its history, the club has developed rivalries with cross-town Melbourne based clubs Carlton, Richmond and Essendon. 

Historically one of the most successful clubs in the league, Collingwood has won 15 VFL/AFL premierships, the third-most of any team. Collingwood has played in a record 43 grand finals (including replays), winning 15, drawing two and losing 26 (also a record).

The club also currently fields a seconds team in the Victorian Football League.
