As the countdown to the AFL season 2021 continues and as a Magpies tragic, I thought I would take a trip down memory lane and assemble a best Collingwood team since 1970, a year that sends shivers down the Magpies’ collective spine.
I have played some players out of position in order to hopefully put the best talent on the mythical park.
Backs
Scott Burns, Ted Potter, Nick Maxwell
I have selected an out-of-position Scott Burns but reckoned on his tenacity, determination and appetite for the contest. Ted Potter is one of the all-time great defenders, not only at Collingwood but also in the league, while Nick Maxwell’s leadership traits stand out and I could not exclude a premiership skipper.
