Collingwood’s 45 Grand Final Appearances
“Every player who has played for Collingwood would be there to feel every bump, every mark, every kick, but they would need to go harder than any Collingwood player had ever gone, & they should do everything in their power to stop Melbourne from beating their proud record! It didn’t matter how tired they grew, or sore they became, the Club’s history was at stake, & this 20 players were the only ones that could protect it… bleed for Collingwood!”
- coach Phonse Kyne impressing the spirit of the 1958 Grand Final.
