That for mine was always the unforgivable sin, putting Coleman in ahead of Coventry in the first place.

What qualifies that drunk to think he can even pick the team of the century. And WHY does it need to be revised? (other than including a Collingwood player or three). But seriously Jack Dyer was a legend. Hadyn Bunton won three Brownlows. And these morons want to drop them from their team?  
Robbo is chief football writer for the Herald Sun - says it ALL really. |
SPOT ON I heard fatboy robbo on radio the other day, he sounded like some uncouth loudmouth, uneducated bogan moron. He drops all his Gs, you know, somthin, nothin, and rambles on like a total dickhead. If this prick had half a brain, he would at least pick Len Thompson for ruck, the finest ruckman our Pies have ever had. who cares what the bald headed goose thinks, he writes for the HUN, that says it all folks.  |
qualifies him perfectly. he resembles a fair proportion of the football following public.

Any of the Collingwood players schuey07 lists above are unquestionable champions, but who to omit from these teams for them? They all belong in the football pantheon. |
Nathan Buckley is still the best player I have seen and that includes Gaz JNR, tagging tactics are no where near as good as they were in Buckleys day Gaz got a fair bit of free reign in his career to date which imo gets overlooked. In fact a lot of teams let him do what he wanted once he was in a GC jumper.
Bucks was tagged in every game he played and by multiple taggers some games.

When Coventry and Bob Rose arent placed ahead of Ted Whitten and pretty boy Silvagni then the selectors are pathetic , i wouldn't expect much else from a tool like David Parkin.

Pretty hard to argue against Madden's inclusion. The whole process is extremely subjective though. |

I'd say out Madden, in Daicos. A real forward pocket. I don't think he was necessarily our greatest player, but he's the one that fits into the team. |
madden was in as second ruck, changing forward pocket. And he was a very good ruckman. |
So was the big fish. But that's beside the point. The best ruckman ever, needs a backup? No way. Farmer can ruck on his own with part-timers pinch hitting. If Jolly could do it so can he. Lockett's not going to let Madden rest in his 50 anyway, it's already stretching it to suggest he'd accept Ablett on the field and Coleman on the bench.
No, this team needs the best small forward ever to play the game (ok, maybe a duel between he and Leigh) in the pocket. Come on down, Peter Daicos. |
Didn't Lockett, Dunstall and Ablett all play in the 1 F50 for Victoria in a SOO game, against SA if memory serves. |

Bob Rose with the first "Mr Football".
Charlie Dibbs - 5 premierships from 8 GFs and 216 games. If Jack Regan was the "Prince of Fullbacks" then Charlie surely was the King. Charlie taught Jack how to play the position. Jack only took over after Charlie left at the end of 1935. Silvani isn't fit to tie either of their shoelaces.
Peter Daicos.
Either of Len Thompson and Peter Moore are better than anyone any other club can dish up. Both where revolutionary versatile all-ground utility rucks.
I get the feeling the idea of this TOC BS is to create some form of Collingwood controversy to arrest falling circulation numbers for the Hun.

Nichols in the back pocket, Madden in the forward pocket?
Farmer as the 3rd ruckman.
Why play 3 in the ruck?
If your not the best ruck-man you don't belong in the pocket, a genuine forward or backman does!
Who would the crowd go to see, Madden or Daicos?
"Team of the century"? Baaah humbug!
This is a team of mates of mates!
fwtw Nichols was a thug in team of thugs... nothing special there.
... Madden was a good ruckman...big deal! |

Lockett, Dunstall and Brereton played in the same Vic side against SA in 1989.
No Ablett as he got suspended for belting Gary Lyon in a home and away game a week before from memory. Lucklily for the crow eaters otherwise we'd have beaten them by 150 points.
Ablett and Lockett did play in the same side together but without Dunstall (who was a Queenslander anyway) notably in the famous Teddy Whitten match of 1995, another massive Victorian win. |

They're all very good players. To say someone doesn't deserve their spot is harsh, but then again you're making that decision against some other very very very good players. Jack Nichols getting dropped is really tough. Madden Vs Len Thompson or Peter Moore? Tough one.
No Pies players is a bit ridiculous really, but I'm not sure who you'd drop to put them in. Then again, the Pies team of the century would tear this lot of money hungry show ponies apart
