Collingwood finished on top of the 2010 AFL ladder with 70 premiership points (17 wins, 1 draw) and a percentage of 141.7, ahead of Geelong on 68 points.
Clubs get four premiership points for a win and two for a draw. Clubs on the same points are separated by percentage: points scored divided by points conceded, multiplied by 100. Byes are worth nothing, so clubs that have had more byes can sit lower for a week or two.
From 2000 to 2025 the top eight made the finals, with the top four getting a second chance (the 'double chance') in the first week. From 2026 a wildcard round brings the top ten into the finals.
Collingwood won the 2010 AFL premiership, beating St Kilda in the Grand Final.
