All time favorites

[hotpie]

Who are your all time favorite Collingwood players? Not neccessarily the best but the ones you liked to watch.

Heres a list of mine - its a big list

Peter McKenna - number 6 - first pop star in football history and the straightest kick for goal the world has seen
Wayne Richardson - captain courageous - number 1- lovely footskills. He and brother Max and Barry Price spoon fed McKenna for years
Ron Wearmouth - number 5 - wild hair - mad as a cut snake
Ray Shaw - silky skills yet a very dirty player too. Number 23. Great captain and the first captain to not wear no 1.
Billy Picken - number 25 - loud, bow legged, unpredictable kick, best big game player I have seen in the black and white
Ricky Barham - number 1 - quick as a gazelle and owned the wing. Loved taking a bounce or three
Ron McKeown - inconsistent but always dangerous. Kicked 8 one day at VFL Park against Carlton. Missed out on premiership glory (but then again so did all of the above)
Darren Millane. Number 42 Deceptively skillled on both sides of the body. Tough and hard, and a ball player most of the time.
Shane Morwood. Architect of Collingwood's 1990 backline. Seemed to have all the time in the world
Mick McGuane. Number 34. Billy Picken's love child. loved to carry the ball and kick it - rarely handballed
Gavin Brown - strong overhead mark. terrible kick.
Sav Rocca - everbody's sentimental favorite. Most exciting player in the game when on song.
Chris Tarrant - best pair of hands in the business.
Scott Burns - second best pair of hands in the business.

Chipper Adkins when he first came to the club, he looked like a 12 year old and was beaten up regularly in the two's by opponents.
Mick McGuane: Sensational on his day, moved like a well read peom.
Daicos: nuff said
Millane: The raging bull
Rowdy: All guts
Bucks: The best I've seen
Lonie: When he running free it is something to see.
Graeme Wright: Off the wing he was pretty to watc

Gavin Brown for me,i could watch that bloke grace the paddock every week for the rest of my life.Tough as a prevebial brick dunny and great skills,best utility of his time.

 

[de_LICA_ish18]

Jason Wild for me, he was a phenomenum.

Seriously:

Darren Millane
Gavin Brown
Nathan Buckley
Anthony Rocca

 

[statman]

Daren Milane
Peter Daicos
Nathan Buckley
Gavin Brown

 

[Perty4]

Daics, Shaw, Rowdy, McGuane, Morwood
Gary Pert was my fav player for that period he was with us.
Bucks, SAv, Anthony, Mummys boy was one of my favs, and of course, dids.

 

[statman]

DIDS?
fairdinkumm that guy gets so much publicity it's not funny, but he never performs

 

[Perty4]

Mmm. 53 from 43 for a 20 YO. The bloke never performs............

 

[statman]

Mmmmmm 25 Goals this year,
95% of those goals have been kicked when the game is over maybe he could actually set up a win by playing hard when the game is there to be won for a change???
Hopefully he can do that this week, or will we see him give up after half time again and just try to get some kicks to make his own stat sheet look a little more like a Number three Draft pick's shoudl look

HERE COMES BILLY!

Billy Picken was my favorite and I had the old woollen jumper with no 25 on the back. Was always a huge fan of Nails as well. Wortho would have been a sensation but for bad knees. Ditto Barham but for dodgy hamy's. Daics was one in a million. Bucks is fantastic but all he doeas is play great every week. It's almost boring how good he is now.

Yeah true that, you almost know he is going to star when you go to the footy, with Daics there was aleays that level of expectation that he was going to pull a goal from now were and produce the unimaginable

 

[dogga16]

Followed by Ricky Barham, Peter Daicos, Choco Williams, Geoff Raines & Graeme Wright

 

[Murray]

John Greening
Phil Carmen
Kevin Worthington

Des Tuddenham

The players I loved to watch in more recent times
Peter Daicos
Mick Gayfer
Sav Rocca
Nathan Buckley
Scott Burns

 

[statman]

Yes I forgot about Scott Burns, never gives up and can play any where any time, he would play ruck if you ask him too

 

[statswiz]

Peter McKENNA
Peter DAICOS
Gavin BROWN
Nathan BUCKLEY
Saverio ROCCA
------------------------
I loved Damien "Chipper" Adkins as a great player to watch. His Debut Round 1 v Hawthorn 2000 in 38 degrees was very refreshing to watch. Throughout the 2000 season he was sensational. I thought we traded quite fair in October for Willo. Gees he's really performed this year. He needs to find form going into September.

 

[Lockyer24]

Peter Daicos
Gavin Brown
Nathan Buckley

Did you love the way he left us?

 

[bucksisbest]

Buckley and Daicos are the standouts.
I also liked Brown , S Rocca and McGuane.
During the late nineties I also used to enjoy bagging and mocking the talent of Jason Wild.

No but I suppose you could say that about anyone -example:McGuane went and played for the Filth - is he any less loved as a Collingwood great?

Darren Millane
Nathan Buckley
Peter Daicos.



I have games on video of Darren Millane that I will keep forever. Will always love the way he played.
