Collingwood v St.Kilda Grand Final 2010

It was the first Grand Final between two Melbourne-based sides since the 2000 Grand Final. Collingwood was the strong favourite to win, with major bookmakers offering around $1.40 to $1.45 for a Collingwood victory at the start of the game. The Grand Final marked the 41st time Collingwood had contested the VFL/AFL Grand Final, and their first time since 2003. The Pies were attempting to win its 15th VFL/AFL premiership, and its first since 1990. It was St.Kilda's 7th grand final appearance, and its second in a row after the loss in 2009. The Saints were attempting to win its 2nd premiership, the only previous premiership coming in 1966.
