AFL Affiliation

Collingwood Football Club

The Seagulls were aligned to the Collingwood Football Club from 2000 until 2007, enjoying success in the 2003 season when they won their most recent VFL premiership. The alliance was broken at the conclusion of the 2007 season, when both sides came to a mutual agreement to cancel the final year of the contract so that Collingwood could establish their own stand alone VFL side.
