Competitions Collingwood All Time Draft

[Trickster]

Mate that would be fantastic if you could maintain a spreadsheet.

No problem, the only ask is if a poster makes a selection they list their position also. Eg:

Paul Rizonico - Ruck Rover

Draft order created by www.draftordergenerator.com.

Alright, Monday is start day.

Updated rules:
1. A player will only be judged on deeds done in the Black and White.

2. Despite the threats of a time limit in the OP, with the group assembled don't think it'll be necessary. With regards to work commitments, it's probably unreasonable to assume that everyone can be on the same schedule and be able to pull the trigger on their next selection as soon as the previous selection has been made (myself included). If anyone is really dragging their feet, we will just rely on good old fashioned peer pressure through tagging. With 198 players to pick though it would be nice to move through the rounds quite quickly, after you've posted your selection, tag the next poster as a courtesy.

3. Feel free to write a few sentences to justify your selection! It'll make it easier to push your case for voting for the best team at the end.

4. All players, past and present, are eligible.

5. Trickster has made a generous offer to update a spreadsheet. However since his first post is halfway down the first page, it might get a little lost. If you're still keen mate, please edit your first post with a spreadsheet, but I'll try my best to update my OP at the top of the page as well.

raymond35, get us underway.

Yeah I'm happy to keep a spreadsheet and will have it updated on my first post. I'll try and do it every day or so, depending on how quickly selections move.

Last pick slot, nice

On a positive you get 11 and 12. Maybe package them up to move up the order

What time does this draft start?

Looking forward to some nostalgia and a bit of side banter.

Would be good to attach a photograph of the selected draft player…

Its on... Raymond35 is on the clock...

 

[iGNITER]

With selection 1 - Raymond35 picks Billy Morrison.

 

[raymond35]

No i didn't LOL.
First pick is so hard, but I'm going for the greatest Collingwood player I've seen, the immortal Len Thompson. Missed the start of his career, but to witness him in the 1977 finals series was unforgettable.

Toss up between Moore and Thomson for mine. Great first pick.

Len THOMPSON

Over the years, the Magpies have made something of an art form of throwing promising youngsters in at the deep end – debuting them in finals or massive home-and-away matches such as Anzac Day. But very few Collingwood rookies have had to endure an introduction as torrid as Len Thompson.

We could post the link to "Collingwood Forever"
They have bio's on most players.

 

[iGNITER]

Nice first pick.

 

[half_back_flank]

Solid start.

Jelly Bean you’re up.

 

[cityslick1]

Solid start.

Jelly Bean you’re up.

we're going to need a running list of all players already picked pretty quickly... in OP? Going to be v hard to sort through pages.

Cheers in advance

EDIT - already there!! thanks

 

[magpies42]

Good pick, I had Len second on my list.

 

[Jelly Bean]

With the 2nd pick, I pick Gordon Coventry. The best forward that has ever played for us, and a player you can legitimately build a team around.

Damn... I had a feeling he wouldn't last until my pick.

Great pick JB!! Just a reminder to all too if we can please also add the position which will help when I am popping them into excel

 

[half_back_flank]

Just after you've made a selection, tag the next poster so that they are aware it's their turn.

South of the Yarra is next.

Gordon COVENTRY

When the immortal Dick Lee finally ended his glorious 17-year career in 1922, Collingwood fans were justifiably spooked. How could they possibly replace the man who was not only the game's greatest forward but also one of the best footballers of all time?

[half_back_flank]

5 time premiership player, 6 time league leading goal kicker.

He went alright.

[magpies42]

Yeah there are no real hidden gems in this format. I reckon the wouldn’t be much of a difference between our top 10’s

I reckon once it gets past the first 40-50 though it will be very difficult.
