Yeah although I think he was shot by then. He only played a couple of games for them and didn't set the world on fire. Mind you, he didn't have Price giving him silver service either.

He kicked 36 goals for them from 11 games in 77, you said you only needed another point
Fair call. I though he only played three or four. He was a hero of mine. I think I suffered Post Traumatic Stress that year whenever Carlton were on the TV replayHe kicked 36 goals for them from 11 games in 77, you said you only needed another point
I counted 11 that went to other clubs from that team.
11 of them left Collingwood at some stage to play for another VFL club.
I was just doing the same exercise!
Lee Adamson played most of his games in the 60's. Even though he only started with us in '78, I'd put Ray Byrne ahead of Lee Adamson.

Danny surely gets a run too for his years of service. Poor sod barely had enough money to take his family to pizza palace.
Laurie surely is coach of the decade for the turn around and flag after he was almost turfed for Rostoff!

Adamson's best year stat wise was 1970
1966 to 1969 - 54 games & 1970 to 1973 - 42 games Ray Byrne second in line for position https://forever.collingwoodfc.com.au/players/lee-adamson/
Lee Adamson
Anyone who ever saw him play would not be surprised to learn that the most dramatic moment of Lee Adamson’s career came at the VFL Tribunal. After all, Lee was a hard-at-it defender who was as tough as nails and loved making life hard for his opponents. But in this instance Lee was an innocent […]
Just to refresh a few people's memory
There are a few names here that were solid contributors
Ohlsen, Morris, Brewer Carlson, Banks (just a rookie)to name a few and Ronnie Wearmouth is everywhere. Kink was a powerhouse of a footballler

Ross Dunne in fact did play back pocket in 1972 in particular where the FB line was - Britt Clifton Dunne.

McKenna played very well in the 4 practice matches played in 1977 but then fell out with the committee over his match payments. He would have been handy in the 1977 GF after the idiot Carman got himself suspended.

My team would be as follows
B Magro Worthington Waters
HB Byrne Picken Hyde
C Dean Price Barham
HF Greening Carman Kink
F Moore McKenna R Shaw
R Thompson M Richardson W Richardson
Int Anderson Dunne Wearmouth Jenkin
Tuddy was there only in 70 and 71 and when he came back in 76 and the first 2 games of 77 he was past it.
Greening should be in the centre but as Price is there I have him ruck roving with Max Richardson. He kicked his 7 goals v Carlton in 1969 as a ruck rover.

Anderson is an interesting choice. I liked him a lot

He was quiet in the Grand Finals of 1977 and 1979 (not alone there in the 70s) but he was a great player otherwise and a goal scoring half forward flanker who could kick long goals on the run.
I followed him at Port Melbourne. When he came to us I thought we had a gun. My expectations probably exceeded his abilities. I always thought he could have been better....but I remember him kicking three and four goals regularly
His contribution in those two years was outstanding.
I still remember him kicking 8 against Footscray in the season opener in 1971.

Yes it was a hot day that day, I remember that game and I think it was actually 9! He had a great 1971 that is for sure. He also captained Victoria in 1971 though not captain of Collingwood for political reasons.
