Collingwood Forever

The Coaches

on March 19, 2017

The men who have guided our teams

The coaches: Mick Erwin

on August 25, 2014

Mick Erwin received an early present the day before his 39th birthday – he got to coach Collingwood for the first time.

The coaches: Murray Weideman

on August 25, 2014

It seemed almost a natural fit that the Magpie great would one down return home to Victoria Park to coach, and that opportunity presented itself at the end of the 1974 season.

The coaches: Michael Malthouse

on August 25, 2014

It started in the front seat of a Lexus in late 1999, Collingwood’s coach for the new millennium revealed in a puff of smoke and flashing lights; and it ended on football’s biggest stage, the 2011 Grand Final.

The coaches: Neil Mann

on August 25, 2014

For a long time, it looked as if Neil Mann's coaching career would be a case of 'always the bridesmaid, never the bride'.

The coaches: Phonse Kyne

on August 19, 2014

To say that Phonse Kyne had big shoes to fill when he took over the Collingwood coaching position in 1950 would be a massive understatement.

The coaches: Jock McHale

on August 19, 2014

James Francis ‘Jock’ McHale was a coaching colossus, not only of Collingwood, but also as a man who helped to pioneer the role and then define it across an extraordinary 38 seasons and 714 matches.

The coaches: Tom Hafey

on August 19, 2014

TOM Hafey almost performed a miracle; maybe even a few of them. Sadly, in the end, he would join the luckless Bob Rose as Collingwood coaches who came so close to glory only to have it end in disappointment and despair.

Honour Roll

on August 18, 2014

A season-by-season review.

The coaches: George Angus

on August 11, 2014

Dick Condon started well in 1905, but his team fell in the finals and then imploded in spectacular fashion in 1906 amidst claims of internal bickering and strife.

The coaches: Dick Condon

on August 11, 2014

Of all the men to have coached Collingwood, few have seemed as counter-intuitive a choice as Dick Condon.

The coaches: Ted Rowell

on August 11, 2014

Ted Rowell faced a tough job when he took over as Collingwood coach for the 1907 season.

The coaches: Bill Strickland

on August 10, 2014

Bill Strickland was an established and highly experienced star of the game when he crossed from Carlton early in Collingwood's second season.
