Collingwood wins 2010 AFL Grand Final

Collingwood has today broken their 20 year drought by winning the 2010 AFL Grand Final. It was a glorious day for footy in Melbourne as the two teams who drew last week played in what would be the decider. 


Collingwood got off to another great start and never looked back. The pies smashed St Kilda: 16.12 (108) to 7.10 (52) win.


Scott Pendlebury deserved the Norm Smith Medal racking up 29 possessions. St Kilda never got into a rhythm and couldn't get the ball inside 50, when they did they could only manage to kick points. Collingwood were definitely the better team on the day and deserved to win.
