VFL Women's In 2018, Collingwood fielded a team in the VFL Women's League for the first time. Most of Collingwood's AFL Women's list play for the club in the VFLW, though the majority of the team is made up of players who haven't been drafted to an AFLW club. The team won the minor premiership, though would go on to lose in the preliminary final to Geelong.
