考林伍德足球队在1990年澳式足球联赛大奖赛中以48分的优势击败埃森顿队，终于打破了长达32年的无冠魔咒1。自1958年赢得上一个冠军以来，考林伍德在32年间参加了9次大奖赛却全部失利，这段黑暗时期被球迷称为"Colliwobbles"魔咒1。主教练利·马修斯在这场胜利中获得了职业生涯的首个教练冠军，而队长托尼·肖则获得诺姆·史密斯奖章并被评为全场最佳球员1。肖曾在1980年和1981年参加过两场失利的大奖赛，如今终于在球队的复兴中扮演关键角色1。
埃森顿队在1990赛季战绩为17胜5负，排名榜首，是当年实力最强的球队1。然而，考林伍德与西海岸队在资格赛中打成平手，导致埃森顿因此休息了三周，失去了比赛节奏1。到了9月23日与考林伍德的半决赛前，埃森顿已经休息了22天，这个长假期最终影响了他们的表现1。比赛结束后不久，考林伍德在维多利亚公园举办了一场葬礼仪式，象征性地埋葬了"Colliwobbles"魔咒，吸引了10,000名球迷出席庆祝这一历史性时刻1。
Collingwood Football Club claimed its first premiership in 32 years by defeating Essendon in the 1990 Australian Football League Grand Final, breaking a curse that had haunted the club since its last championship in 1958 1. The decisive victory, achieved with a 48-point margin, ended an era marked by nine failed Grand Final appearances over three decades, a period fans had come to know as the "Colliwobbles" 1.
The Grand Final victory proved particularly significant for team captain Tony Shaw, who received the Norm Smith Medal as best-on-ground after having previously played in two losing Grand Finals in 1980 and 1981 1. Coach Leigh Matthews also secured his first premiership as a senior coach through the triumph 1. Essendon, which had finished the regular season with a 17-5 record as the competition's leading team, arrived at the Grand Final on 29 September following an extended break of 22 days that disrupted the team's momentum 1. The leading team had been forced into this layoff after Collingwood drew with West Coast in a qualifying final, necessitating a replay that caused fixture delays 1.
The significance of Collingwood's breakthrough extended beyond the field. Several weeks after claiming the premiership, the club organized a ceremonial burial at Victoria Park, where approximately 10,000 supporters gathered to symbolically inter the "Colliwobbles" curse 1.
