'''Collingwood Football Club VFL team''', nicknamed '''the Magpies''' and often referred to as the '''Collingwood Reserves''', is an [[Australian rules football]] team which plays in the [[Victorian Football League]]. The team is a [[reserve team|reserves team]] operated by the [[Collingwood Football Club]], which fields its senior team in the [[Australian Football League]].

==History==
{{see also|History of the Collingwood Football Club}}
Collingwood originally joined the [[Victorian Football League|Victorian Football Association]] (which later became the modern day VFL in 1996) in 1892. In 1897, Collingwood was one of the eight breakaway clubs to form the [[Australian Football League|Victorian Football League]] (which later became the modern day AFL in 1990), and has fielded its senior team in that competition every year since.

The VFL/AFL operated a [[reserve team|reserves competition]] from 1919–1991, and a ''de facto'' AFL reserves competition known as the [[Victorian State Football League]] operated from 1992–1999. The Collingwood Football Club fielded a reserves team in both of these competitions, allowing players who were not selected for the senior team to play for Collingwood in the lower grade.

In 2000, the VSFL merged with the modern day [[Victorian Football League]]. Since the merge, the senior grade of the VFL has accommodated senior teams from the VFL, reserves teams from the AFL, and [[Australian Football League reserves affiliations|affiliations]] between VFL and AFL clubs, in which VFL senior players and AFL reserves players compete in the same team.

Collingwood fielded a stand alone reserves team in the VFL in the 2000 VFL season. It finished 11th on the ladder, and the side at times included the likes of [[Gavin Brown (footballer)|Gavin Brown]], [[Gavin Crosisca]], [[Shane Watson (footballer)|Shane Watson]], [[Stephen Patterson]], [[Ben Johnson (footballer)|Ben Johnson]], [[Rhyce Shaw]] and [[Ricky Olarenshaw]]. It played its home games at [[Victoria Park, Melbourne|Victoria Park]], with a handful of curtain raisers at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]].<ref>{{cite web|title=VFL: Season 2000|publisher=collingwoodfc.com.au|url=http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/season/vfl/history/2000-season}}</ref>

In 2001, Collingwood reserves team was dissolved and the club entered into an affiliation with the VFL's [[Williamstown Football Club]]. Collingwood ended its affiliation with Williamstown after the 2007 season, and re-established a stand-alone reserves team in the VFL in 2008. The reserves team has competed in the VFL since 2008.<ref>{{cite web|title=VFL: Season 2008|publisher=collingwoodfc.com.au|url=http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/season/vfl/history/2008-season}}</ref>

The Collingwood VFL team is composed of both reserves players from the club's primary and rookie AFL lists, and a separately maintained list of players eligible only for VFL matches.

==VFL performances==
The Collingwood VFL team has had reasonable success to date. The team has qualified for finals on four occasions, with its best finish a preliminary final appearance in 2009.<ref name="vfl finals">{{cite web| first = Jonathon| last = Bernard| title = VFL Magpies earn finals berth with massive win| url = http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/newsfeatures/news/newsarticle/tabid/5586/newsid/83318/default.aspx| publisher = collingwoodfc.com.au| date = 24 August 2009| accessdate = 24 August 2009}}</ref>

This is identical to the AFL team, except for the addition of the Magpie bird displayed prominently on the front of the guernsey. The same guersney style but in predominately white with black stripes and a black number is utilised for away/clash fixtures.
