jonmac you are 100% correct but it would still be nice to have Louie officially recognised for what we all know what he is. Yeah, the pie supporter jokes do wear thin, just like those about blondes, Scots, Irish Jews etc. Cannot be bothered responding anymore, it is what it is.

Noteworthy comments:

Quote:
Dick Lee must be elevated to Legend status. It should have happened long ago.

Other Collingwood players that could be considered for Legends status in the future:

Jack Regan (The Prince of Full-backs. Snubbed in the AFL ToC. Considered the best fullback of the VFL era by many).

Syd Coventry (Only he, Tuck and Reynolds are 4x Premiership captains. Syd of course was captain of the mighty machine, winning 4 in a row. A Brownlow medallist and Collingwoods ToC captain).

Peter Daicos (A bit of an outside chance, but he really was a superfreak and the first of his kind).

Albert Collier (6 flags, a Brownlow, 200+ games) & Harry Collier (4 flags, a Brownlow, 250+ games). How cool would it be if these two were elevated together?

Michael Malthouse Noone has coached more games. Would have to be joint with other clubs.

While I'm at it, these Collingwood players could have a great case to be inducted into the HoF:
Harold Rumney
Billy Picken
Thorold Merrett
Darren Millane
Marcus Whelan
Ray Gabelich
And of course Dane Swan when he becomes eligible.


Yes, Lou is a legend of Aussie Rules. But I cant see the AFL elevating him ahead of many others. I think the next 6 legends should be: Lee, Ablett, Carey, Sheedy, Dunstall, Malthouse.

Albert Collier should be a walk up start!

My Pop always reckoned that Lou's uncle, Alby Pannam, was Collingwood's best player ever.

Wouldn't go that far Rude but my dad who was a young man during the fourpete used to reckon Alby was a champ.
