Who'd win?

[Damien]

So a couple of fellow magpie supporters and I were discussing all thing Collingwood last night in the middle of the local footy ground and freezing our nuts off whilst our young fellas went through their paces at footy training. We were having some lively banter about what amazing depth it seems that we now have on our list and arguing the toss of: Brown v Frost Witts v Reid Young v Seedsman etc..

So it got me thinking during this Bye round (a time of reflection) about the scenario of having every single player on our list fit and in form (a scenario that will probably never actually happen).

OK this is probably a bit indulgent and maybe even a little cocky (and yes I have too much time on my hands), but here are TWO Collingwood sides that I reckon would mix it with most other sides. A bit like when we had Australia and Australia A in the cricket.

Who do you reckon would win? Pendles' Pies or Maxy's Maggies?

Here we go:



Pendles Pies

B: Toovey Brown Armstrong
HB: Fasolo Frost Seedsman
C: Lumumba Ball Freeman
HF: Blair Witts Sinclair
F: Kennedy White Dwyer
Foll: Grundy Pendlebury (C) Adams

IC: Scharenberg Marsh Oxley Yagmoor


Maxy's Maggies

B: Young Keefe Williams
HB: Langdon Reid Maxwell (C)
C: Macaffer Beams Goldsack
HF: Karnezis Lynch Elliott
F: Sidebottom Cloke Martin
Foll: Hudson Swan Thomas

IC: Mooney Clarke Broomhead Ramsay


In reality either of these sides could well take the field in the event of a diabolical run with injuries and we'd still be competitive I reckon, which is pretty amazing I reckon too.

I might put up a poll to answer the question. Cast your vote and tell us why...and feel free to reflect on what I reckon seems like a bloody deep list we have built that has me very excited for the present and the future.

Collingwood.

Pendles' forward line is atrocious.

Caff to tag Pendles out of the game.

Maxy by 4 kicks.

The team that hasn't got Armstrong. A lay down misere

[stui magpie]

Maxy's is an all over stronger team. The exercise does demonstrate very good overall depth though.

[Pies4shaw]

I disagree - I think we are very light on for half-back flankers if the first 9 get injured.

[woftam]

Why would Armstrong be in the starting 18 instead of Scharenberg & Oxley if all are presumed fit?

I think it would be a great match though to be honest.

[Tannin]

Maxy's mob, in a canter, even though they are sadly lacking in the ruck department.

Nice thread!

[Piesnchess]

Itd be a draw, a hard fought, draw. thus I did not vote.
