Yes he left off Gary Ablett Snr and Junior too.I haven't bothered to check out just what he came up with, but that one is a bit over the top. James Clement was a fantastic player but while perhaps a reasonable candidate as one of the best 25 Collingwood players in the last 50 years he's not close to being one of the competition's best 25 in that period by any means! Apparently he left Gary Ablett snr. off his list, if that's true then it's just bizarre, he's the best footballer I've seen in about 50 years of watching the game!!
Speaking of such things (and I imagine Malthouse didn't name our current coach as one of his top 25?!) as someone who loves picking teams/best of lists I tend to check out such things that are posted elsewhere on BigFooty and more and more I see Nathan Buckley's extraordinary career being ignored/disrespected. Clearly he was one of the greats of his era, and one of the finest our club has ever had. Perhaps it's the same sort of anti-Collingwood bias that saw us get no players at all in the official Team of the Century that's at play here! Probably twenty years from now Buckley will be talked about as "just a good ordinary player"!!
I almost think he did so he could justify leaving Nathan out.
But who knows.
He may just have a psychotic need to be the centre of attention or quirky.
Look at me, look at me, I'm saying something different, I'm Mick, look at me.
Ofcourse that is his opinion but to me Mick always comes across as having some odd agenda.
