Definitely Daicos i would say, a skillful and crafty small forward.

Dont need anymore mids
Funny thing was that Daics was a mid. Centreman all day long. He only shifted forward because of injuries. He was that good that he'll be remembered as one of the memorable Pies of all time, playing in a non preferred position. :thumbsu:

Wow, this is a hard one for me :drunk:


As mentioned above, and probably most fittingly by speshal Ed, it's definitely Daics.

People that didn't see this bloke play were very unlucky. Imagine how much Bruce would ejaculate if rioli had 1/10 of the Daics ability...... They'd need life rafts at the g to avoid drowning.
Daics miracle goal in the 1990 drawn QF (with assistance along the boundary line from Millane and Brown keeping the ball in play and knocking opponents over with ease ) is one of my favorite moments in Collingwood history

Had '35' on my duffel coat when he kicked 6 in a quarter against North at Arden Street.

Chatted to him at the '03 wake. Charismatic man, supersonic footballer. Total man crush :thumbsu::rainbow::hearts:

Daics and Ronnie Wearmouth should play every year! As for the current structure I vote Paul Williams, we are missing someone who can present it lace out between the tits to Cloke.

I understand he liked to eat peanuts during a game... Come full-time the goal squares at both ends were a couple of inches deep in the shells.
When Plugger was playing for the Saints the goal square was littered with empty soy sauce dim sim bags.

Dunstall was called Piggy, had his fair share of snag rolls. Maybe that's Cloke's problem, fatten the boy up a bit! We should employ Merv as a dietician!
If anyone should be employed to fatten the boys up it should be me.

Salad rolls.........deep fried in batter!!

Yeah, was awesome. He just did it with suck ease. The ball was his marionette. Unbelievable the things he could with it. Was truly a marvel.

Wish we could clone him and have 4 of him in our team forever. We'd never lose. Could turn a game on its head in 5 mins and did it often....

Daicos was the player that has given me the most joy as a Collingwood Player.

But at this point in time for our team I would have to say Millane.

He would make every current player "walk taller" not many players in my time following footy had/have that presence!

He was a Bull NO other player could have played through a finals series with a broken thumb!

A 97 goal season for a small forward...1990 (with shin splints? Hammy issue & ankle?).
I feel for those who never saw him play.
He was Mr Excitement when he was near the ball...the crowd lifted...the noise...everyone new something special was about to happen...& he rarely let them down.
I use to love his 70 metre torps.
