Collingwood’s President Jeff Browne thanked La Trobe Financial for their ongoing support of the Club.
 
“We look forward to the next four years of our successful partnership with La Trobe Financial and we thank Chris Andrews and his team for their long-standing commitment to our Club,” Mr Browne said.

“Together, we share a passion for bringing people together and it is this shared value that has been the foundation of our successful journey together.

 “A special thank you goes out to the players; whose hard work inspires us all.
 
“To the Members of Collingwood Football Club, your support and dedication are truly inspiring. We are honoured to stand with you.
