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 2018 AFL season

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

Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:

• Collingwood 2018 premiership betting
  
  Yes, weird things have happened in the AFL in the last two seasons, with the Bulldogs winning the 2016 premiership from seventh on the ladder and the Richmond Tigers breaking a 37-year premiership drought in 2017, despite finishing 13th the previous year.

  Only the greatest optimist would give Collingwood a chance to win the premiership in 2018. To say that everything would have to go right is a massive understatement – but there is talent on this list and if they can squeeze into finals, well, we’ve seen what can happen during the last two seasons. The $20 on offer is probably too short for the Pies, we can’t recommend it.

• Top 8 betting
  
  This is where things get really interesting for Magpie punters. At $2 with Sportsbet.com.au to break a four-season finals drought, the Magpies will certainly entice punters who think Nathan Buckley’s men are due for a good run with injuries and form. The Magpies have threatened to improve for years and never delivered. Perhaps now that the pressure is off and many in the football world have given up on them, they may choose 2018 to begin their climb up the ladder. We suggest having a good look at this market – especially if the playing list is healthy going into round 1.
• Brownlow Medal betting
  
  Collingwood have players that are proven vote-winners, but history tells us that no one wins the Brownlow Medal from a club that struggles to even make finals. Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury is a man that traditionally polls well, but has suffered from carrying a big load in the Magpie midfield and suffering from niggling injuries. The $21 available at Sportsbet.com.au is an interesting market on the veteran – odds that will fall steeply if the Magpies start winning games. The other fancy in this market is big-name recruit Adam Treloar. The former GWS midfielder polled 20 votes for a Collingwood team that won just 10 games two seasons ago and could be ready to take the next step in 2018. He could provide some big value.
• Rising Star betting
  Collingwood don’t have many realistic contenders in the Rising Star market.
  Callum Brown at $21 is the shortest in the field, but didn’t show enough in his first handful of games to suggest he’d rip the competition apart in 2018. The Club’s number six draft pick in 2017, Jaidyn Stephenson,
  has the talent, but may struggle to play enough senior football in 2018 to qualify, given his slight frame.
  He could be one to watch in 2019 if he is still eligible.
• Coleman Medal betting
  
  Given Collingwood didn’t have a single goal-kicker that cracked more than 30 goals in 2017, you can completely forget about parting with any of your hard-earned on a Magpie winning the Coleman Medal in 2018. Collingwood’s most dangerous forward, Jamie Elliot, is paying $101 at Sportsbet.com.au, but is already under an injury cloud and could miss early matches, completely ruling him out.

Collingwood 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.
