## Squad

    Players are listed by guernsey number, and 2018 statistics are for AFL regular season and finals series matches during the 2018 AFL season only. Career statistics include a player's complete AFL career, which, as a result, means that a player's debut and part or whole of their career statistics may be for another club. Statistics are correct as of the Grand Final of the 2018 season (29 September 2018) and are taken from AFL Tables.

### Squad

    Players are listed by guernsey number, and 2018 statistics are for AFL Women's regular season and finals series matches during the 2018 AFL Women's season only. Career statistics include a player's complete AFL Women's career, which, as a result, means that a player's debut and part or whole of their career statistics may be for another club. Statistics are correct as of Round 7 of the 2018 season (18 March 2018) and are taken from Australian Football.

### 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.
