Toast Collingwood's greatest 25 players (Michael Roberts - HS today)

Remove this Banner Ad

Have you seen another list where they've ranked all the (125) players, or is it just the list of 125 players in alphabetical order (Didak is the 26th name on that list from what I can see)? Fine player that he was, he couldn't possibly be ranked that high, surely?!

I'll check the book when I get home

Fruitless exercise...some players get better every year after they have retired, others seem to drop off the radar... then recency effect duds the old timers...looking at stats also misleading..
You should see what it does to players that have left Collingwood.

All of a sudden they are these super stars

It's really very comical
 
Thanks for that. I don't have the book at this stage, but do expect to be getting it sometime over the next few weeks.

My bad. The 125 in the 'Champions of Collingwood' book are not listed in order, so Dids is in the group, but not at 28!

If you're picking most talented he's number one.

Injuries forced him away from the midfield where he was sublime, into a forward where he was just freakish.

Easily the most talented player ever to pull on a Collingwood jumper, Phil Carman next according to those who saw his 1975 (??) season.
J. Greening went ok as well and peter moore plus the 2 you have mentioned.

This is one of the best threads.

We get to talk about great players, less the rubbish on other threads.

We all blessed to have seen Daicos Buckley Pendlebury etc

I want to put my hand up to mention a player seems a bit forgotten on this board once named by Kevin sheedy as the best player in the comp.Choco Williams magnificent footballer and great Collingwood captain and on a par with Daicos for a lot of years.some supporters forget just how good Choco was and doesn't get the kudos he deserves.

He happened to play the same position as Buckley Swan Pendle and as such is overlooked. He was a magnificent player in the early 80s and could play full forward when needed such was his versatility. Was he captain in 81? Would have been a worthy player to break the drought.

Agreed but he was only at the club for six years before heading off to Brisbane... Just like Dayne Beams.....
