Collingwood is a working-class suburb and the Collingwood Football Club supporter base traditionally came from the working class (though its supporter base today goes far beyond). Many of the club's supporters who regularly attend games still come from the working class or from lower socio-economic groups, leading to jokes from supporters of other clubs which typically stereotype their Collingwood counterparts as poor, crude and ignorant.[27]

Collingwood is traditionally reviled by non-Collingwood supporters ("You either love 'em or you hate 'em"). The dislike of the club by outsiders is said to have originated during the 1920s and 1930s, a period of great success for the club which drew the envy and resentment of other clubs. In this period, Collingwood was also perceived as a Catholic and Irish club, at a time when these groups were looked down upon by the rest of Australian society and subjected to a considerable degree of social exclusion.[28][29]
In 1897, Collingwood, along with fellow VFA clubs Fitzroy, Melbourne, St Kilda, Carlton, Essendon, South Melbourne and Geelong split from the VFA and formed the Victorian Football League (VFL). Collingwood won its first premiership in 1902, defeating Essendon by 33 points.
The Collingwood Football Club, nicknamed the Magpies or even less formally the Pies, is a professional Australian rules football club playing in the Australian Football League (AFL). Formed in 1892 in the then-working class Melbourne suburb of Collingwood, the club played in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) before joining seven other teams in 1896 to found the breakaway Victorian Football League (now the national AFL). Originally based at Victoria Park, Collingwood now plays its home games at the Melbourne Cricket Ground with its training and administrative headquarters located at Olympic Park Oval and the Holden Centre.
Collingwood Park also hosts Albany's largest sporting facility, Collingwood Park. The ground is home to North Albany Football and Sporting Club, Albany Football Club and Collingwood Park Cricket Club and has hosted several large events such as Crusty Demons's West Coast Carnage Tour and in 2008 hosted an AFL NAB Challenge Cup match between West Coast Eagles and Collingwood.
The 2014 Collingwood Football Club season was the club's 118th season of senior competition in the Australian Football League (AFL). The club also fielded its reserves team in the VFL.
Andrew Vlahos began his senior career at Heidelberg United FC in the National Soccer League from 1994-1996. When Heidelberg and Collingwood Football Club formed to make Collingwood Warriors S.C., Vlahos signed for the new club and spent the season there, scoring 6 times in 24 games. The club consequently disbanded and Vlahos moved on to Carlton S.C.. A move overseas followed to Greek giant Panathinaikos F.C. followed, but due to a lack of playing time, Vlahos moved to AO Agios Nikolaos for the 1999-2000 season. After that, Vlahos returned home to South Melbourne FC before moving to Football Kingz FC.
The size of the Association premiership expanded from twelve to thirteen senior clubs in 1892, with the newly established Collingwood Football Club competing for the first time. The club was formed from the Britannia Football Club, which had been a leading junior club in the Collingwood area since the establishment of the VFA in 1877. Britannia had made previous attempts to enter the senior competition since 1889.
On 15 October 2014, Varcoe was traded to the Collingwood Football Club in a three-way trade between Collingwood, Geelong and Melbourne which also saw Mitch Clark and Heritier Lumumba find new clubs. Despite being considered past his best during his last year at Geelong, Varcoe has enjoyed a renaissance of form since moving to Collingwood, playing arguably the best football of his career. Varcoe was considered one of the best recruits of the 2015 season.
The club's membership base leads to large crowd pulling power which has caused the AFL to be accused of favouring Collingwood when scheduling to maximise the league's attendance figures.[45][46][47] However the AFL states that this is due to other clubs requesting home games at the MCG against Collingwood.
The 2010 AFL season was the Collingwood Football Club's, ("The Magpies"), 114th season playing Australian rules football in the Victorian or Australian Football League. It was the club's most successful season since 1930 and the club's most successful season in AFL era. The Magpies won the premiership after defeating by 56 points in the Grand Final Replay. Collingwood also won the McClelland Trophy for finishing first at the end of the home and away season. 2010 marked the first time that Collingwood won 20 matches in the same season, their first McClelland Trophy since 1970 and ended a 19-season premiership drought dating back to 1990.
The 2015 Collingwood Football Club season was the club's 119th season of senior competition in the Australian Football League (AFL). The club also fielded its reserves team in the VFL.
David Williamson's 1977 stage play, The Club, was inspired by the backroom dealings and antics of the Collingwood Football Club; although Collingwood is never mentioned by name. The 1980 film version of the play – directed by Bruce Beresford and starring John Howard, Jack Thompson, Graham Kennedy and Frank Wilson[59] – is set at Collingwood and featured Collingwood players in speaking and non-speaking roles. The film was almost entirely shot on location at Victoria Park, both inside and on the actual oval.[60] Judd Apatow's 2009 film, Funny People, starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, featured a scene with Australian actor Eric Bana trying to explain the rules of Australian rules football.[61] During this scene Bana's character, a St Kilda supporter, voices his dislike for Collingwood while watching a televised game. Adam Elliot's 2009 clay-animated film, Mary and Max, features a scene with a school-yard bully, named Bernie Clifford, who wears a 1970s VFL style Collingwood guernsey. A Collingwood garden gnome can also be seen in the film.[62] In the 2010 independent Australian film Joffa: The Movie, Joffa Corfe and Shane McRae star as a couple of knockabout handymen with a passion for the Collingwood Football Club. John Brack's 1953 painting Three of the Players' depicts three Collingwood players. The players are thought by some to be Lou Richards, Jack Regan and Phonse Kyne.[63]
Tarkyn Lockyer (born 30 October 1979) is a former professional Australian rules football player who played for the Collingwood Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Lockyer currently serves as the Midfield Development coach at Collingwood, having previously served as the head coach of the Collingwood VFL Football Club.
Born in Albany, Western Australia Lockyer attended Albany Senior High School and played for a local club, North Albany Football Club as a teenager before leaving to go to Perth to further his football career.

The Collingwood Football Club was born on the cusp of one of the world's worst depressions in February 1892. Collingwood played its first game in the Victorian Football Association, the premier football competition at the time, against Carlton Football Club on 7 May 1892.
The heritage guernsey of the Port Adelaide Football Club has been a regular source of controversy. The primary historical guernsey of the Port Adelaide Football Club, when it dominated national football the years before World War I and the South Australian National Football League for the 19th century, was black with a white "prison bars" design; however, when the club entered the Australia Football League in 1997, it was forced to change its colours to avoid a clash with the Collingwood Football Club, who also wear black and white although in a different design. Whether or not Port Adelaide is permitted to wear its black and white guernsey in any heritage matches, even those not played against Collingwood, has been a point of contention between the clubs.
West Canberra Football Club is a defunct Australian Rules Football club that played in the ACT AFL from 1974 – 1987. The club's guernsey was black & white (similar to Collingwood), and the team was nicknamed the Magpies. The club merged with the Belconnen Football Club to form the Belconnen Magpies Football Club. West Canberra never won an ACT AFL premiership.

Rose returned to the VFL in a coaching capacity, taking over from Phonse Kyne in 1964 as Collingwood Football Club coach. He led the side to the Grand Final in 1964, 1966 and 1970, losing each time by a handful of points. He continued to coach Collingwood until 1971 (apart from one game in 1967 when Neil Mann, who later became his successor as coach, took the reins), before coaching Footscray Football Club between 1972 and 1975. His final stint as coach of Collingwood was in 1985 and 1986, where he held the reins for a brief period before Collingwood's severe financial crisis and poor form on the field led to his resignation in favour of Leigh Matthews. He continued to remain around the club behind the scenes right up until his death.
In 2001, Collingwood reserves team was dissolved and the club entered into an affiliation with the VFL's Williamstown Football Club, such that Williamstown served as a feeder team and reserves players for Collingwood played senior football for Williamstown. Collingwood ended its affiliation with Williamstown after the 2007 season. The reserves team was re-established, and has competed in the VFL since 2008.[53][52]
In 2001, Williamstown entered into an affiliation with the Australian Football League's Collingwood Football Club, under which Collingwood's reserves players were permitted to play in Williamstown's senior team when they were not selected in AFL matches. Williamstown and Collingwood were affiliated from 2001 until 2007, during which time the club won one premiership, in 2003. The partnership with Collingwood ended after 2007, and a new affiliation was established with the , which lasted from 2008 until 2013; during this time, Williamstown won the inaugural Foxtel Cup competition.
Edwin Lionel Wilson (E. L Wilson) (28 March 186124 November 1951), along with Alan Mansfield was the founder of Collingwood Football Club. Wilson was approached by the newly formed club to be appointed president, which he rejected. He went on to become the first secretary of the Collingwood Football Club and also the first secretary of the Victorian Football League when the VFL was established in 1897. He held the position of secretary of the VFL for thirty-four years from 1897 to 1929.
In 1930, the "E. L. Wilson Shield" was created to be awarded to each year's premiership winning team. It was initially discontinued in 1978, when there was no room remaining on the shield, but expanded and reintroduced as a perpetual trophy in 2016.
