Rose played in their 1953 premiership team.One thing I do find amusing and ironic is that their 2 greatest players, according to McGuire and a lot of other were Bob Rose and Figgy. For a club that claims to be so successful and to have won so many flags, those 2 with their playing and coaching records at the club have won exactly 0 premierships
It would be amusing to compare how many pages Jim Stynes got in the HS when he died.
My bad. I was looking him up on Wikipedia and it doesn’t show that in his career highlights ( it does list his country flags). , but reading further down in detail it does mention it.Rose played in their 1953 premiership team.
the real irony will be if Ross replaces and wins a flagInteresting fact on Buckley, believe that no past player or coach, has ever in the history of the VFL/AFL, ever been involved in more games, and not won a flag. I think 2nd on the list is Ross Lyon, oh the irony if Ross is Nathans replacement ,
I hope that's their short list BT
Hope Ross Lyon does take over at Collingwood. Retread coaches apart from Matthews and Malthouse don’t seem to have the ultimate success this century.

Actually, a couple of other contenders:
- Gary Ayres
- Chocco Williams
I think Dexter has already been promised the Carlton role as part of the current review focused on scapegoating Teagueyou forgot
chicken smallhorn, and
Dexter Kruger
Just lovin that death stare from MnM
All true but go back a couple of years and add Blight to the listHope Ross Lyon does take over at Collingwood. Retread coaches apart from Matthews and Malthouse don’t seem to have the ultimate success this century.

None of our local sports media is brave enough to contemplate n contend with the prospect of Eddieeeee chewing on their arses.That’s one thing, but what annoys me are the lengths our small-pond media will go not to offend this seemingly untouchable man.
