Collingwood Team of the 21st Century

I have thought about malthouse vs mcrae and it's a tough one. but for me malthouse longevity to make 2 grand finals with a not so great playing list and then to win a flag a decade later still warrants more recognition. however mcrae has every opportunity to prove his longevity in coming years too.

What about Bobby ‘Norm’ Hill?
Easily ahead of Adams or Liccura

Norm Smith in a flag team.
Something Adams and Licca can only dream of.
Adams arguably played a better grand final. Only difference was the team lost.

Licuria had 40 touches in one of the most famous finals wins in club history. Not that I would name Licca, but put some respect on their names.
 
My post-2024 team
Last year's flag helped a few players consolidate their positions, though it's not the be all and end all of picking my side. Those who didn't win premierships deserve as much respect for making us as good as they could

Without Buckley, we weren't given a hope. Licca played such a blinder that night. And Ben Johnson's tackle on P.Burgoyne, wowee.

A quarter of the way through the century for the mathematically illiterate, and two famous additions come in.

Nick is on the bench for no other reason than he has only played 3 seasons and the midfield is incredible however it is obviously only a matter of time before he is in starting 18.


Thoughts?
Lumumba, Grundy, Beams, Adams.
🤣
