We're close.

Pert was the best full back I've seen since 1990, and T Shaw is stiff to go for Leon Davis

I wanted to get L Davis in, but went for Crosisca instead (I'd have put Davis in the backline).

Shaw unlucky in your team - he is in our team of the century! And he dominated 1990! I have him ahead of Dids, Burns, Daisy.

HB. S Morwood ~ B Reid ~ M McGuane
C. D Millane ~ N Buckley (c) ~ G Brown
HF. P Daicos ~ T Cloke ~ M Williams
F. J Elliott ~ S Rocca ~ A Didak
R. D Jolly ~ S Pendlebury ~ D Swan
I. B Grundy ~ A Treloar ~ L Ball ~ A Shaw
C. L Matthews

E. H Shaw, T Francis, S Sidebottom

Fascinating side.
presti nice pick, he was a good one. Shane Morwood is the missing one from my view say over crosisca.

Good thread idea too

Who's going to be the person to tell Jelly bean
that 1990 was 27 years ago? I'm not a nitpicking kind of person.
Funny thing, I read the years and thought sounds a bit long but since 1990 still works

Darren Millane would buy and sell Buckley as a footballer. While I'm intruding, don't for one second forget how good Swan was, Millane and Swan are in your top 5 ever, Buckley should not be in anyones top ten. Please don't mention his Brownlow , it ranks along side Cotchins as one of the biggest gifts in football.
Tony Shaw 1990 GF , one of the greatest captains games ever played.
PS. Be nice it's sunday.
On the respectful side, I'd venture you didn't watch enough Collingwood games.
Not understanding g how great Buckley was as a player. Uber elite.
Millane was also a great player, tough, bull like, leader. Many strong attributes.
But I'll have to differ with you, just not in Buckleys class.
Nathan had it all. As good a long passing kick as anyone (ever), ran all day, kicked goals, immense talent.
people I think over indulge in his early perceived personality.
Swan agree, one of our better ones.

In the Uber elite Collingwood pantheon, Peter Daicos and Nathan Buckley can wash their hands together.
One other thing about Buckley, he almost (granted didn't) almost won the 2002 Grand Final by his incredible play that day and that was his play carrying the team on his shoulders. Amazing.
 
Fascinating side.
presti nice pick, he was a good one. Shane Morwood is the missing one from my view say over crosisca.

Morwood is a beauty. So composed.
 
90 seconds of my seriously restricted life wasted on this thread.
37 years?
No interst.
Nest 37 years, that’s the thread I want to see.
Sorry I don't know who will be on our list in 37 years.
Here are some possible candidates for a top team into the future:

Ayce Buckley
Jet Buckley
Nick Daicos

No pressure on them ofcourse :)

Magnificent.
Very very underrated.

(My dream is Scharenberg reaches that level or Jimmy Clement's level.)

Great side. Wright would slot into any team, he deserved a Brownlow in '90. Libba, meh...
 
One Premiership in 20 years.....
What a wankfest.
You know you don't have to participate on here if you don't want to.

Most here know the maths, most would like it to be many more in 20 years.
But only the future can change that.

In the mean time, if it's ok, it's fun to discuss past and present players and place then in a theory of who is best as a side.

I love doing them. So I do. If I didn't, I wouldn't. Simples

Yes. Wright and Mcguane must start on the ground. Nailed it.
 
You know you don't have to participate on here if you don't want to.
But I want to. Simply, or “simples”, As those with less than menza entrance would offer.
This is the reinforcement of our recruitment team, and our coach, 2016.
37 years ago, well what a group of do our die players. Millanes thumb as the ultimate sacrifice.
Name me a 2017 player who would do the samrpe for the colours/jumper.
Pendles, Steele, then I struggle to find a player who wouldn’t change colours for cash.

Biased bullshit, Bucks was better than both.

The best field kick I've ever seen.

Seeing it's Sunday & you want me to be nice...........please pull your head in or out of your arse, whichever works for you.:)

Fair points.
Don't kid yourself if you didn't think players wouldn't move for money yesteryear.
Ron Todd springs to mind.
Len Thompson had issues with money and the Club.
Des Tuddenham?
All three greats of the club.
Another great, Peter Moore.

Happens.

I don't begrudge people looking after their family and themselves.

The club will just as quick rip the jumper off your back and say, thanks for coming.
Off you go.

Ps your remark about menza tellingly (accidentally no doubt you misspelt it) or Mensa as it were, could be revealing. Because you actually don't know who is who in the zoo (our board) ie who is intelligent, super intelligent or not so intelligent. You just never know the backgrounds.
