The club responded to an article published in Tuesday's Herald Sun that stated it had started employing security to accompany players out at night, after an incident between Magpie John Anthony and Hawk Lance Franklin last week made headlines.
CEO Gary Pert said such measures will only be taken at the culmination of the season during the players' annual down time, rather than in the immediate future.
"I'd like to clarify that the Collingwood football club does not provide security support for the players when they're out socialising as a general rule," Pert said, in the statement released by the club.
"As I stated to the Herald Sun journalist, we have for the last few years provided security to shadow the players while they socialise together as a team for the two or three days immediately following the season."
Collingwood ruckman Chris Bryan said such protection from members of the public isn't required during the season, as incidents such as last weekend's are fairly isolated.
"I don't think [we need it]. I think if you look over the record, there's not that many incidents," he said.
"Guys go out every week and it's once in a blue moon that it's in the papers. I don't think it's an issue."
Bryan, 26, also denied it is frustrating to live in the public eye as he believes it possible for footballers to lead a regular existence.
"I think you can have a normal life. People go out and they have dinner and they have a few beers," he said.
"Or, if you do go out to a nightclub, you usually go out with players so you're in a group together and you protect each other.
"I don't think you don't have a normal life; I just think you have to adapt to what's out there. It's not too bad."
