Injury Collingwood, who has been the most injury plagued over the years?

[35Daicos]

Perhaps got cut by Pies, played a year of VFL or something then Fitzroy signed him.

Brad Boyd was definitely still at Collingwood in 1991. I've checked quite a few of the Football Records from that year and he gets mentioned in the reserves best players or goalkickers on a few occasions.

When the U-19s were scrapped at the end of 1991 and metropolitan zones were removed as well there would have been some very tough decisions made about what players would have been retained on (much smaller) club lists. Presumably, we just let him go and he ended up heading to Fitzroy and making a name for himself.

Edit: We actually traded him to the Lions, so we must have considered him to be of some value, at least!

Mark Orval is now a full time victim of his sons practical jokes. Check out "Angry Dad" on Sunrise.

I remember Daicos running the around boundary line in 1992 and he looked just about finished. What year did he have the stress fractures?

Before he won the flag iirc, approx 88?

I thought Boyd was the captain... still can't believe they let him go to Fitzroy. Another whose career was cut short by injury.

Boyd was a few years later
