context_page_description: The 2010 AFL Grand Final was a series of two Australian rules football matches between the Collingwood Football Club and the St Kilda Football Club. Together they are considered the 114th annual grand final of the Australian Football League, and were staged to determine the premiers for the 2010 AFL season. The premiership is usually decided by a single match; however, as the first grand final ended in a draw, a grand final replay was played the following week and was won by Collingwood.
  Both grand finals were held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. The first was held on 25 September 2010. The game was attended by 100,016 spectators, the highest crowd for a VFL/AFL game since the 1986 VFL Grand Final. The match ended in a draw, with both teams scoring 68 points. This was the third draw in a VFL/AFL grand final, the previous two occurring in 1948 and 1977.
  The premiership was decided by a full replay on 2 October 2010. It was attended by 93,853 people. Collingwood defeated St Kilda by 56 points, marking Collingwood's fifteenth VFL/AFL premiership victory and their first since 1990. It was the last grand final to be replayed prior to the introduction of extra time.
context_section_description: St Kilda began to win clearances again, and after both teams mustered rushed behinds, Riewoldt scored the first goal of the quarter in the 5th minute from a coast to coast play. Midway through the quarter, Gardiner left the field injured, leaving St Kilda (who had omitted back-up ruckman Ben McEvoy for the game) without a recognised ruckman. Collingwood had long-range shots at goal by Cloke and Dawes fall short and rushed for behinds in the middle stages of the quarter, but could not score a goal. The Saints kicked two goals in five minutes through Goddard and Gilbert to close the gap to seven points in the 22nd minute. Thomas had a good chance to score a goal late in the quarter, but missed with a wild snap shot under little pressure. Collingwood took an eight-point lead into three-quarter time.
  After Collingwood's complete dominance of the second quarter, the third quarter was much more closely contested. The teams were even in both clearances and contested disposals, and both managed six shots on goal. In St Kilda's case, their six shots yielded 3.3 (21), while in Collingwood's case, they yielded only 0.5 (5) – including one hit-the-post, two fell short and touched for behinds, and one fell short and marked for no score. Hayes and Goddard were again prominent at the clearances, with both playing at various times as the third-man-up in ruck contests. Part-time ruckman Jason Blake assumed much of the ruck responsibility following Michael Gardiner's injury.
