No Oppo Supporters General AFL Discussion #12 - Carlton Posters ONLY!

Seeing as I started this, it’s Daicos for me, followed by Pendlebury. The list doesn’t extend beyond two. Actually, maybe it does. Heath Scotland at three!

And I won’t entertain any such discussion re * players

No love for Dean Wallis?

I think Peter Daicos is the best Pies player I ever saw, yet I still believe Buckley was slightly better overall than Pendlebury.

Bucks was a model of consistency even if some bog ordinary/average Collingwood teams in the 90s.

In order, I would rate them as Daicos, Pendlebury, Picken, Buckley

Surprised Darcy’s daddy doesn’t get some “love”. As long as Stan Magro doesn’t get a run, can live with it.

Daisy Thomas

Absolutely. For me the best was Phil Carman and if he hadn't been suspended after the 1977 semi-final they would have 16 flags.

Who’s actually loosely based on Brent Crosswell.

He went the wrong way.


Wouldn’t be the first time…

 

[Bletch]

Yeah, I picked Collingwood to Carlton, and then made a useful contribution - so no McKenna or McGuane. There are a bunch of others, but I liked those three (Scotland, Hotton, Thomas). ymmv.

As did Peter McKenna.

If I have to like someone from Collingwood, I like Steph Chiocci. Heath Scotland was awesome, too.

Heath Scotland for mine

But what they say about Pendlebury's basketball background is seriously understated. Had he not truly loved Aussie Rules more than basketball he could've made it as far or further there than Patty Mills.

When I was still working in basketball there was at least one organisation US side who had him ranked in the top 25-30 prospects in his draft class (first round level prospect). He was well aware of this fact. But opted to follow his passion instead of chasing the money.

In professional sport often the difference between really making it or not can boil down to how passionate and in love with what you're doing. His AFL career speaks for itself as to having made the right decision

Wait he played basketball?

You’d think that would have come up

Drop a note to BT, he might appreciate this little tidbit of information so he can throw it in to his call of Pies games every now and then.
