Collingwood Magpies odds

The Collingwood Football Club is arguably the biggest and most famous sporting organisation in Australia.

Established in 1892 with the Australian magpie as its mascot, the club is one of the most storied in the history of Aussie rules football – a beacon for passionate love and hate from the footy-loving public.

The knives were out for Collingwood and coach Nathan Buckley in 2018, but they silenced their critics in emphatic fashion and wound up only a straight kick away from winning the AFL Grand Final.

Can the Pies go one better in 2019? Let’s see what the bookies have to say on the matter.

Best Collingwood bets for the 2019 AFL season

Where are the best Collingwood bets in the AFL futures markets that matter?

• Collingwood 2019 premiership betting
  The Pies were a kick away from winning it all in 2018. It might be tougher to get there this year when carrying a considerably greater weight of expectation, but the squad looks pretty good and they are rightly ranked among the top few contenders.
  
• Top 4 betting
  Collingwood finished third last year when few expected them to play finals at all. However, we have seen many times in recent years that the previous season counts for naught (read Western Bulldogs 2017 and Adelaide Crows 2018). There are plenty of teams that could push into the top four in 2019, so think carefully before you part with your money.
  
• Brownlow Medal betting
  Most footy fans were surprised at just how well Steele Sidebottom polled at the 2018 Brownlow Medal. With Dayne Beams back in black and white, Collingwood now boast three of the top 10 players from last year’s count. If Beams stays fit and the Pies have another good year, he could go very close to winning it.
  
• Rising Star betting
  Collingwood were full of surprises in 2018, not least with Jaidyn Stephenson coming from the clouds to take out the AFL Rising Star gong. Isaac Quaynor and Nathan Murphy are the players to keep an eye on this year.
  
• Coleman Medal betting
  The best thing about the Pies in 2018 was how many genuine goal threats they had on the park. Jordan de Goey, Will Hoskin-Elliott, Jaidyn Stephenson and Josh Thomas all booted 38 goals or more, while Mason Cox got better and better as the season went on. If he stays out of trouble, JDG could crack 50 this year.
  

Collingwood 2019 AFL fixture

Collingwood players to watch in 2019

Dayne Beams
Born: 12/2/1990
Games: 168
Goals: 167
Position: Midfielder

Is this the biggest signing of the year? Beams’ sudden return to Victoria Park has further strengthened the club’s already solid claims to the flag while vanquishing any doubt over which team boasts the best midfield unit in the league.

Darcy Moore
Born: 25/1/1996
Games: 54
Goals: 61
Position: Defender

One of the most impressive aspects of Collingwood’s finals run last year is that they did it with so many key defenders out injured. Moore’s return to action is timely because the new kickout rules will favour his long-range passing game.

Jamie Elliott
Born: 21/8/1992
Games: 89
Goals: 138
Position: Forward

The Magpies forward line was a revelation in 2018, all the more so because Elliott did not play a single game. If the 26-year-old from Euroa stays on the park for even half the season, the team will benefit hugely from the various midfield rotations his presence allows.

Collingwood Magpies history

There are two different versions to the history of the Collingwood Football Club.

The first is the story of success. Collingwood is the only club to have ever won four premierships in a row (1927-30). It was a time when Collingwood was the undoubted powerhouse of Australian football, both on and off the field.

In the club’s first 30 seasons it had won nine premierships and seemed destined for more greatness. Four more premierships followed in the next 20 years – including a spirited defence of its four-peat record against a rampaging Melbourne in 1958.

The second part of this story is one of heartache and pain.

No team has lost more Grand Finals then Collingwood. The Magpies have played in a record 43 finales, winning 15, drawing two and losing 26, which is also an unwanted record.

After a series of heart-breaking losses to arch-rival Carlton in the 70s, Collingwood went into a period of pain in the 80s, before a historic drought-breaking premiership over Essendon in 1990.

After more failure followed its ‘premiership hangover’ in the 90s, Collingwood once again climbed the summit in 2010.
