    Training Pre-season training updates 2026.

    Boring news, but Justin Leppitsch was just on my flight to Sydney this morning. Let’s all wildly speculate as to which Swans/Giants players he’s here to poach.

    Official Club Stuff 2025 Annual Reports

    Big increase in revenue for Collingwood nearly matched by a big increase in expenses. From a pretty superficial look at the report the increase in expenses seems to be split roughly equally between "Commercial activities, membership and match day expenses", "team expenses", and the CFC...

    Prediction 2026 New Jumper numbers.

    I’d love to see them hold the 34 as a nod/incentive for Tommy. It would say we haven’t forgotten about you and if you work hard and keep improving you might yet get a spot next draft. If he makes it, great, and he can still get the number, and if he doesn’t then so be it.

    He’s AA, therefore anonymous.

    Player Watch Welcome to Collingwood Samuel Swadling

    I’m rapt we got Swadling. Or I suppose it should be ‘wrapped’ we got Swadling.

    Player Watch Welcome to Collingwood Tyan Prindable

    Love me some “More Info Shortly”! Welcome Tyan! Tyan? Surely a misprint on the birth certificate.

    I just pointed out that, if the GF venue was determined by who had the 'right' to host it, then Collingwood's recent flags would have come at the MCG anyway. It's pretty pointless to argue the 2023 or indeed 2010 GFs should have been played anywhere else.

    Yes, we don't play nearly enough games at the G against the Docklands tenants. Outside of covid, we've only had 1 home game at the G against St Kilda in a decade, 2 against North, and 2 against the Bulldogs. We've had more home games at Docklands against each of them. Given that we've made...

    Note the use of the word 'unfair' in my statement. Collingwood were the minor premiers in 2023, and if the GF was set to the home ground of the higher ranked team (as many on here argue it should), then the game would still have been played at the MCG. Same goes for the 2010 GF. All other...

    You’re both wrong.

    Big Footy maths: Share your home ground with 5 other teams and play 14 games there = disgraceful, an outrage, the competition is rigged etc. Share your home ground with just 1 other team and play 13 games there = brilliant, deserved, should be more actually etc.

    You don't think the Adelaide teams only winning 2 of their last 8 finals at their home ground is more of a reason for their failure to win flags than the venue for the GF that they almost never make? Collingwood have literally never won a premiership while having an unfair home ground advantage...

    So after all the Lions supporters whinging about the change to the weighting it's actually Collingwood (predictably) and Geelong (less so) that are the ones who cop 4 top 6 teams twice. Also, for those who love to say Collingwood get a great financial draw - here's our full list of home games...

    They'll have a contingency plan for Pendles missing at least 1 game so expect big prime time MCG clashes for Collingwood for 2 weeks after ANZAC Day. (yes, yes, that's every week for Collingwood, I know)

    We will have an early bye after playing in the Opening Round. If Pendles plays all games ANZAC Day will be when he equals the record and our next game will be when he breaks it.
