Opinion If you had one pick

[Robroy22]

I think Millane was being groomed if he could clean up his act. Which could have gone either way but they were equally courageous and showed leadership qualities but Pants more vocal than Rowdy.

He would have been a leader like Lethal was...ruthless.

Pants would have been 28 turning 29 at the start of the 94 season, not sure if he was the right age profile.

As to the OP Greening by a mile over Carmen

The one pick Greening then Daics

 

[Apex36]

Daicos without injuries.

Honestly I’d take Daicos even with the injuries.

 

[Countrypie]

Greening then daylight

 

[jmac70]

Wayne Carey

 

[Thatsmyname]

Carman, Greening or Millane would be fantastic but right now it's probably the coach we need in the guts

Bucks

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

The way we kick for goal, it has to Peter McKenna - still the best kick for goal I've seen in a Collingwood jumper.

I wish I had seen McKenna but he finished at the Pies when I was 1yo.

My fave player is Daics but first picked is Gavin Brown.

 

[jonbe54]

For jaw dropping awesomeness - Daicos
For stunning impact - Greening
For courageous leadership - Brown

But for the present landscape where we lurch from season to season with a never ending list of injuries and need to plug list holes on the run only one makes sense

Buckley - champion . . . everywhere.

Just ask Carey lol.

 

[Black_White]

Plugger.

Wayne Carey

He had a bigger influence on more games than anyone elss I've ever seen.

On and off the field

He’s be handy in our forward line.

IF we can add any player, playing at their best, then Leigh Matthews.

High possession winner when on-ball, superb goal kicker, and unbelievably tough. The team would have a captain-coach on the field.

IF it is a Collingwood player, given our current list, then Buckley and Moore would add most value.

Would go for Moore. Play him 20 per cent in ruck and the rest forward (deep or high to mess with opposition defensive structures).

He won two Brownlows and would perfectly suit the contemporary game. With his aerobic capacity he would also be a high-leading option to kick-outs.

Very smart guy as well - would have useful insights to the formulation of game plans.

(Of course, it gets weird that his son would be playing in the same team, but hey Collingwood breeds young)

 

[Kappa]

He’s be handy in our forward line.

How would he go against modern defensive structures, with no space to lead into? Plus being double or triple teamed every contest instead of having 1v1s all game? Plus having to actually chase and tackle.

That'd be interesting.

 

[Horaceg]

Loved almost every game I saw on Peter Daicos and he would be mine.

Special mention to Rowdy, Pants, FIGJAM, Swany and Pendles

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

The guy was magic - if he'd played soccer he would have been like Messi

Every now and again I watch his YouTube highlights; just makes me smile and remember adolescence

So glad he played in a premiership

Yep, I watch those YouTube highlights as well, saying to myself, I was there for that one, and that one, and that one....

And you're right, watching him just makes you smile. It was a privilege to see him play live.

 

[good4footy]

Daicos separates himself as he was largely responsible for a flag in addition to his amazing career. 98 goals as a small forward to equal the great Leigh Matthews as the most goals kicked by a small forward in history.....and did it in a premiership year.

 

[Occidental]

Wayne Carey

Really?
Carey was bog average against us.
17 times he played against the Pies, only winning 10.
Averaged 14.8 possessions and 2 goals a game across 17 goes at us.
14 possies & 2 goals!?!
He wouldn’t be in my top 20.

 

[magpies42]

Dermot Brereton

 

[Occidental]

Peter Daicos.
Pick him and plant him forward for his entire career. Uninjured and with around 14 seasons he’d kick 1000 goals.
Brilliant player.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Stevo

 

[jathanas]

If I couldn't secure Jason Wild on a long term deal I'd settle for Daics.

 

[sr36]

He’s be handy in our forward line.

But a bit too handy at club functions.
