🏁 GEORGIA KNIGHT MAKES HISTORY: THE 91ST MAGPIE TO WEAR THE BLACK AND WHITE STRIPES 🖤🤍

In a landmark moment for Collingwood Football Club and the AFLW, Georgia Knight has officially signed with the Collingwood Magpies, becoming the 91st player in history to don the club’s iconic black and white stripes. The signing marks not just another chapter in the club’s proud history, but the beginning of what many are calling a new era of promise, talent, and determination for Collingwood’s women’s program.

Knight’s journey to the AFLW has been one of grit, passion, and perseverance. Rising through the ranks of grassroots football in Victoria, the 20-year-old midfielder has built a reputation as one of the most dynamic young prospects in the game. Known for her explosive pace, clean ball handling, and fearless attack on the contest, Knight embodies the very qualities that have defined Collingwood athletes for generations — resilience, teamwork, and an uncompromising will to win.

Collingwood’s head coach hailed Knight’s arrival as a “powerful addition to an evolving squad.” He praised her athleticism and hunger for improvement, noting that she brings both energy and versatility to the team’s midfield and forward structure. “Georgia represents the future of Collingwood football,” he said. “Her work ethic, leadership potential, and passion for the jumper are qualities we value deeply. We can’t wait to see her make an impact.”

For Knight, the signing represents the culmination of years of dedication and sacrifice. Speaking after the announcement, she described pulling on the black and white guernsey as a dream come true. “Collingwood is more than a football club — it’s a legacy,” she said. “To become the 91st player to wear these famous stripes is something I’ll cherish forever. I want to make the Magpie Army proud every time I step on the field.”

The Collingwood faithful have already embraced Knight with open arms, flooding social media with messages of support and excitement. Many fans see her as a symbol of the club’s next generation — a young star ready to carry the torch of a team that has always thrived on passion and unity.

Off the field, Knight is known for her community involvement and commitment to inspiring the next wave of female footballers. Having worked as a junior coach and mentor, she often speaks about the importance of visibility and representation in women’s sport. “When little girls see us playing at the MCG, they see what’s possible,” Knight said. “That’s what drives me — to play hard, play proud, and help grow the game.”

Her signing also comes at a pivotal time for Collingwood, as the club continues to strengthen its AFLW list in pursuit of premiership success. With a mix of experienced campaigners and emerging stars like Knight, the Magpies are building a squad that’s balanced, hungry, and determined to make history.

As Georgia Knight prepares to make her debut in the famous stripes, one thing is clear — the future of Collingwood football is in safe, determined hands.
