Ideal Collingwood side! Its hard!

NICK THE PIE MAN · Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2001 4:13 pm

Hello Collingwood brothers and sisters.
I was just thinking about an ideal Collingwood team from our list. (Eveyone is injury free)

I tell you what, its a very very hard decision. Very difficult to find spots for players i would love to give spots to! Anyway, i will give it a crack, and I hope you put your team in to.

F: B.Holland, J.Molloy, C.Tarrant
HF: J.Fraser, A.Rocca, N.Davis
C: P.Licuria, N.Buckley, C.Rintoul
HB: J.Clement, M.Richardson, R.Lonie
B: S.Wakelin, S.Prestigiacoma, T.Lockyer
R: S.McKee, S.O'Bree, C.Steinford

INT: B.Johnson (Excellent player,unlucky not to be above)
L.Davis: (Ditto,good crummer)
G.Freeborn (Great runner from HB flank)
R.Betheras (Good backup defender,steped up on Saturday)

EMG: S.Burns (I really can't find a spot for him! This will cause some arguments, but I think it will be hard for him to get a run in the coming years.)
A.Dimmatina (This was hard, would love to have him in the side, but there is a crap-load of quality and he JUST misses out)

God, that was hard.
Everyone, pick your ideal best team from the list.

"Good 'Ol Collingwood Forever"

what about damien adtkins & i dont think you can have all three of freeborn, rintoul & betheras. Scott Burns was(and) still could be a superstar - i think that is a bit harsh.

Backline may be to tall !

Great Team but I would take Wakelin out for Scotty burns and
have Clement play as a third string defender.He is very versatile
and we need our V/C fit and firing in the side

Steinfort has to be in our best team without a doubt. Scott Burns must also be in the team as well. People forget how good he is sometimes!!!!!!!!!!

APA

EVERYONE IS A COLLINGWOOD SUPPORTER ITS JUST THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE IN DENIAL

its timagpies and i'll have a crack at it anyway but I agree with nick the pieman it is bloody hard because Collingwood have so much depth now then we ever had now since about 1990.
Anyway here is my line up.

F: DIDAK MOLLOY TARRANT
CF:FREEBORN ROCCA FRASER
C: LOCKYER O'BREE RINTOUL
CB:CLEMENT RICHO LONIE
B: BURNS PRESTI WAKELIN
R: MCKEE BUCKS STEINFORT
INT: JONHSON LICURIA N.DAVIS ADKINS
EMER: BETHERUS DIMATTINA CLOKE

GOOD OLD COLLINGWOOD UNITED FOREVER AND EVER AMEN GOD BLESS THEM ALL

I think i will revamp my own line up. It is so exciting that COLLINGWOOD have so much depth and talent to draw on.

f: holland molloy didak
cf:tarrant rocca fraser
c: lockyer bucks rintoul
cb:clement richo lonie(done very well in his first year)
b: burns presti wakelin
r: mckee o'bree steinfort
int: licuria n.davis l.davis freeborn johnston (stong bench)
emerg: betherus dimattina lane cloke

this line up is extemely flexible and vertatle where players can play a varity of positons and roles such as a lockeyer burns swap.

Tim youve gone the Micky Malthouse bench! 5 players! + 4 emergencies!
I reckon our best team is exactly the same as the first post says, with Burns, Adkins, Dimma, Lane and Didak a bit stuff to miss out. But a bit of competition for spots in the team can only help + remember them little things called 'injuries'

B: Jon Hassall, Paul Sharkey, Kent Butcher
HB: Jason Wild, Andrew Tarpey, Steven Pitt
C: Paul Williams, Ricky Olarenshaw, Mark Orchard
HF: Trent Hotton, Dermott Brereton, Brad Hardie
F: Brad Rowe, Saverio Rocca, Shane Watson
R: Brad Smith, Stephen Patterson, Barry Mitchell
INTER: Troy Lehmann, Andrew Tranquilli, Grant Fielke, Aaron James

just kidding

I agree with the previous choices. we certainly have a wealth of talent to choose from!

Pretty close to the mark Nick, but there's no way u can leave Burnsy out. Just like Bucks, he's stuck with us thru the bad times when he could've gone to greener pastures.

B: Wakelin Presti Burns
HB: Lockyer Richo Clement
C: Licuria Bucks Rintoul
HF: Fraser Rocca N.Davis
F: Molloy Tarrant Holland (or Neon Leon)
R: McKee O'Bree Steinfort
I/C: Lonie, Adkins, Freeborn, L.Davis
Em: Betheras, Johnson, Kinnear

Kinnear is ahead of others due to team balance a late replacement is required. Didak not included cos he's yet to prove himself at the highest level, but there's no doubt he's good enough. Port Power would love to have him just as much as Bucks.

THE RUP IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!

hey junkbo perhaps youve hit on a new good fun forum topic, "Pies greatest Dud teams"
If so you missed on Dale Woodhall for full forward and Gary Shaw in the pocket.
Start the new post and well all have a shot
