Collingwood President Barry Carp has penned a letter to the Magpie Army.

By Barry Carp – Collingwood President

Dear Members,

I want to personally thank you for being part of the Collingwood family this year. Your passion and loyalty has helped the Club achieve something truly special.

For the third consecutive year, the Magpie Army has come together to break the league’s all-time membership record, with 112,068 devoted Members signed up so far in 2025.

This achievement represents much more than a number – it reflects the connection and unity that defines our great Club. 

Each membership represents a voice in the stands, a scarf worn with pride and a shared belief in who we are and what we stand for. 

This week, Collingwood proudly celebrates Magpie Army Week, a time to honour you. 

We welcome you to the MCG on Friday night for the final round of the AFL home-and-away season against Melbourne, and on Saturday, we return to our spiritual home – Victoria Park – as our AFLW team takes on the GWS Giants.

The Magpie Army is like no other.  

Your passion for all our teams – AFL, AFLW, VFL, VFLW, Wheelchair and Reclink – and your generous support of the Club’s Community Foundation, which provides food and shelter for Melbourne’s most vulnerable, makes a real and lasting difference.

I would also like to acknowledge our Membership team and staff who work tirelessly to deliver the best experience for all Members.  

On behalf of the Board, players, coaches and staff, thank you for your commitment so far in 2025.

We look forward to your continued support across the AFL Finals and AFLW season.

Floreat Pica – may the mighty magpie flourish!

Barry Carp
President
Collingwood Football Club
