The AFL world is celebrating — and rivals are shaking their heads in disbelief — as Collingwood Football Club has etched its name into history as the first team to win the elusive “quadruple”: the Premiership, Minor Premiership, AFLW Flag, and the VFL Title all in the same season.

 

In a league where history and tradition run deep, this achievement stands apart. Never before has one club managed to dominate across every level of competition with such authority. The Magpies, often described as the heart of Australian football, have turned 2025 into their ultimate year of glory.

 

From the opening rounds of the men’s AFL competition, Collingwood looked like a team on a mission. Under coach Craig McRae, the Magpies combined ruthless efficiency with breathtaking flair, securing the Minor Premiership with weeks to spare. Their finals campaign proved equally commanding, capped off with a Grand Final victory that showcased both composure and brilliance under pressure.

 

But what makes this achievement historic is that the dominance didn’t end there. The Collingwood AFLW side, led by a core of fearless young stars, stormed their way to their first ever women’s premiership. Their win wasn’t just symbolic — it cemented Collingwood’s place as the most well-rounded club in the sport.

 

Meanwhile, the Magpies’ reserves in the VFL mirrored the success of their senior teams, clinching the VFL flag in front of a roaring home crowd. For a club often accused of relying too heavily on its history, Collingwood showed the future is just as bright as the past.

Collingwood supporters, known as some of the most passionate in world sport, have flooded social media and Melbourne’s streets with celebrations. For generations, they’ve proudly called their club the biggest and the best — now they finally have the silverware to prove it.

 

“This is more than just winning,” said one lifelong fan outside the MCG. “This is history. We’ve copped so much criticism, so many jokes over the years, but now we stand above everyone else. Collingwood forever.”

While Magpie fans revel in their moment of glory, rival clubs have been forced to tip their hats. Achieving dominance across all tiers of the game is no small feat. The coordination, resources, and culture required to make it happen set Collingwood apart from the pack.

 

A rival coach admitted privately: “You can’t help but respect it. We’ve all talked about the ‘one club’ model, but Collingwood has gone out and proven it can be done. It raises the bar for everyone else.”

 

Collingwood has always been a giant of the AFL, but this achievement cements its place in history in a way few could have imagined. The quadruple isn’t just a triumph for the club — it’s a landmark moment for the sport itself.

 

As the celebrations continue, one thing is certain: 2025 will forever be remembered as the year Collingwood Football Club stood alone at the summit of Australian rules football.
