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.
