Having consistently labelled themselves as ‘the team everybody loves to hate’, the Collingwood Magpies are also known for their passionate fan base which makes them arguably the most supported club in the AFL. With 15 VFL/AFL Premierships since their introduction in 1892, the Pies are the second most successful club in AFL history in terms of flags won, having last won the flag in 2010.

Nathan has Buckley’s of fixing Collingwood
by Sean Lee, 16 May 2013
Nathan Buckley was on a hiding to nothing when he agreed to the coaching succession plan dreamed up by Collingwood president Eddie McGuire back in 2009. Mick Malthouse, that crafty old warhorse, was the incumbent coach and he coached the same way that he played – with a bit of mongrel. Not the flashiest of [...]
Could Collingwood miss the AFL finals?
by Callam P, 13 May 2013
Nobody at Collingwood will be panicking yet but increasingly there are signs that the Pies will be an afterthought come September. After seven rounds they have four wins but it is the manner of the losses and a percentage of just 95.1 percent, ranked 13th in the league, which should be of greatest concern. Collingwood [...]
Jolly’s cheap shots are poor form
by Andrew Sutherland, 12 May 2013
I was reading Darren Jolly’s Age column on sledging this week when I came across a reference to his former Collingwood teammate Josh Fraser: “I’m sure if he’d had a better attitude, we could have had a good ruck combination and he would have continued at the Pies for a bit longer.” Jolly was referring [...]

Collingwood captain Nick Maxwell arrived in Perth fit and raring to go for Saturday night’s AFL clash with Fremantle at Patersons Stadium after his quicker-than-expected recovery from wrist surgery.

Essendon continue to bomb out
by Trevine, 21 May 2013
Essendon continue to excite then crumble in typical fashion as they frustrate club membership as a football team that dazzle then disintegrate. The rattled coaching staff at Essendon may be the root cause of their unsettled season as they bravely strive to prove that the off field distractions have no bearing on their preparation. But [...]
Why the easybeats can be the hardest to defeat
by johnhunt92, 21 May 2013
I empathised with Alistair Clarkson when he called a reporter from the AFL’s website a not-so very nice name. Just to refresh or enlighten you, AFL Media reporter Matt Thompson asked Clarkson at his Friday media conference a question along the lines of “expecting an easy win this weekend?” The question set off Clarkson, whose [...]
Winmar ‘sad’ at continual AFL abuse
by Robert Grant, 21 May 2013
AFL great Nicky Winmar is sad to see indigenous players still being abused 20 years after he made his symbolic stand against racism in sport. Winmar, who is in poor health, was speaking on a rare trip back to Melbourne to help celebrate the league’s indigenous round. Central to the celebration is an iconic picture [...]
Swans focus on momentum not hoodoos
by James MacSmith, 21 May 2013
Sydney coach John Longmire doesn’t like talking about hoodoos whether he breaks them or not. The Swans finally broke one of the AFL’s longest losing streaks on the way to their grand final win last year – an 11-game reverse to Collingwood that stretched over seven seasons – but Longmire said that victory will be [...]

by AAP, 21 May 2013
Gold Coast ruckman Zac Smith is the latest player to have his season cut short as part of a plague of serious knee injuries that has swept the AFL.

Lions duo face AFL suspensions
by AAP, 21 May 2013
Brisbane coach Michael Voss has backed his team’s aggression against Essendon, despite losing defenders Daniel Merrett and Justin Clarke to AFL suspensions. The Lions suffered the most at Monday’s match review panel, with Merrett receiving a three-game ban on a rough conduct charge for his sling tackle on Bombers forward Michael Hurley. Merrett’s poor record [...]
Bulldogs lack bark, bite, and a future
by Dan Lonergan, 20 May 2013
I applaud Cameron Rose’s article on the Western Bulldogs this morning and without looking like I am doubling up, I had planned to write about the Dogs after last Saturday’s shocker against the Gold Coast. The was one of the lowest lows – almost as dark as those dreadful days of 1980 until 1982 when [...]
St Kilda coach says he’ll keep the faith
by Steve Larkin, 20 May 2013
Coach Scott Watters appealed to St Kilda supporters to keep the faith after the Saints’ downward spiral continued with a 40-point away loss to Adelaide on Sunday. Watters says the Saints won’t make knee-jerk reactions after the Crows’ resounding 12.15 (87) to 6.11 (47) victory at AAMI Stadium. “I don’t want our supporters to be [...]
My open-letter to AFL supporters
by Callam P, 20 May 2013
Hello generic AFL supporter, we have never met but I was sitting nearby on Saturday afternoon. I loved the way you cheered the big marks and the pivotal goals. I laughed when you told the umpires they were maggots and suggested an opposition player take up ballet. I appreciated the passion you had for your [...]
Long, cold winter ahead for Western Bulldogs
by Cameron Rose, 20 May 2013
The Melbourne Football Club is in the most dire state of any AFL side since Fitzroy in 1996, yet their stunning on-field mediocrity has been made to look positively finals-like by the Western Bulldogs in the last twelve months between winters. From Round 12 last year and onwards, the Dogs have been ice-cold, only able [...]
