Collingwood at the G

Collingwood News

Collingwood will play 14 games at the MCG in 2015, 10 of which will be against Victorian rivals Carlton, Essendon, Geelong, Melbourne and Richmond.
The Magpies began to play the majority of their home games at the ‘G in 1994 and officially became an MCG tenant in 2000 after Victoria Park’s days as an AFL venue came to a close.
In total, the Pies have played 562 matches at the home of football since 1897, recording 298 wins, 257 losses and seven draws.
The club averages a crowd of 58,570 people per each MCG game.
AFLtables.com reports a total of 32,037,791 people have attended Collingwood games at the matches at which an attendance figure has been recorded (note that 15 of Collingwood’s 562 matches at the MCG were not attributed an attendance figure).
Dane Swan has played 150 of his 236 senior games at the MCG, the equal most of any Magpie in the club’s history (alongside former captain and current assistant coach Scott Burns).
Only seven of the 12,315 players to register a VFL/AFL game since 1897 have played at the MCG more often.
Champion full forward Sav Rocca kicked 329 goals in 99 games at the venue for Collingwood and North Melbourne, a feat bettered by only five others in the game’s history.
Travis Cloke is not far behind the big Sav, having kicked 262 of his 390 career goals at the ‘G, ranking him 11th on the all-time leaderboard.
Sav’s younger brother Anthony Rocca comes in at No. 15 on the all-time list with 236 goals at the ground.
