PREVIEW | 2025 AFLW: Round 5 – Saturday
COLLINGWOOD has been competitive of late, and will need to find its best again when tackling an unbeaten and impressive Sydney Swans outfit. Sydney heads into the game as strong favourites, though the Pies have hardly rolled over in season 2025, so will make life a little challenging for the red and white. AROUND THE […]
Stinear relieved to “get away with one”
FEW WOULD have predicted that last year’s wooden spooners Collingwood had the ability to push an in-form offensive juggernaut like Narrm (Melbourne) when they faced off over the weekend, but by the end of the match, AFLW Dees coach Mick Stinear conceded the Pies “deserved to win”. Narrm entered the Round 3 match having smashed […]
Pies break 331-day drought with Giant slaying
COLLINGWOOD enjoyed its first win in 331 days on Saturday with an incredible eight-point triumph over GWS Giants at Victoria Park.

Wright urges for more consistency from “patchy” Pies
COLLINGWOOD coach Sam Wright was frustrated in the wake of a four-goal opening night loss to Carlton after what had been a promising preseason from last year’s wooden spooners. Though an impressive win over Port Adelaide a fortnight ago gave the Pies belief, aside from a “strong start”, Collingwood was beaten both inside the contest […]
PREVIEW | 2025 AFLW: Round 1 – Thursday
TRADITIONAL rivals – at least in the men’s game – Carlton and Collingwood go head-to-head to open season 10 in the AFL Women’s, just as they did on the inaugural night way back in 2017. The Blues and Pies will be hungry to get their seasons off on the right note after less-than-ideal 2024 campaigns, […]
2025 AFLW Team Preview: Collingwood
IT WAS a season to forget for the Magpies in 2024 as Collingwood slumped to its first women’s wooden spoon and only third in complete club history. The benefit was picking up generational talent Ash Centra with pick one, who will change the delivery inside 50 which was Collingwood’s Achilles heel last year. Her inclusion […]
2024 AFLW Draft review: Collingwood
WINNING its first ever AFLW wooden spoon, Collingwood’s prize was the number one pick and the Magpies selected a readymade star and arguably the most skilful draft prospect of all-time.
