This is a very enjoyable thread, there's some great stuff here from plenty of people but especially by you. Our current struggles and coaching situation hardly get a mention, so it's just nice to be able to go into a thread and escape the negative bullsh** that is dominating the rest of the place!! I like the new look avatar as well, BTW!Having a go at our top 10, order a bit too hard but top ten, applying games played criteria so matches though I'd prefer that not be a factor as denies Ron Todd and others of their unique place:
Bob Rose
Nathan Buckley
Gordon Coventry
Leeter Collier
Harry Collier
Dick Lee*
Peter Daicos
Des Fothergill
Richard Condon
Jack Regan
*agree he MUST become an AFL Legend, won the goalkicking 10! times
I've posted something previously (more than once, I think) about the injustice of Dick Lee not being an official legend of the game. Just imagine if a player in modern times dominated the goalkicking like this bloke did. He just happened to play in an era where a year's tally of 50 goals was considered a very large haul, people sitting in judgment today must look at that and not be impressed, and that is simply unfair.
In general, I tend to not pay too much attention to "conspiracy theories", however I have to agree with you that some anti-Collingwood bias may have cost us in cases like this, and of course, with the selection of the Team of the Century.
