Has Collingwood ever won an AFL premiership?

Question

What's the clostest they've come?

Answer 1

Well known that club president eddie McGuire would pay almost anything for a flag under his direction. This is what obviously happened this year. How can a club turn around so quickly in just over a year without a little cash injection and monetary persuasion to other clubs and authorities. I'm not a Geelong supporter but it all seems a bit too fishy for my liking. Geelong have been a club in a different league for the past 3 years and should have won this year. Collingwood will be lucky to make top 4 next season! Well done Eddie, you got your flag whatever the cost may have been.

Go the dogs in  2011.
