Who is the greatest #8 to ever play for your club

[South of the Yarra]

You got the wrong Des mate

Tuddy certainly liked number 8 - because when he Captain/Coach of the Dons he didnt wear number 1 which some would choose in that position , instead he stuck with number 8

Sorry but not sure what that has to do with being Collingwood's Greatest Number 8. Fothergill was a Brownlow Medallist, Collingwood Team of the Century and probably in the 5 most talented players to ever represent the club.

Phil. Was my favourite player in the 80s

You want to brush up on your Collingwood history a bit - Des Tuddenham wore number 8 for Collingwood

Couldnt careless about Brownlow Medals - however a Captain who can kick 7 match winning goals on a permanent hff in a big 2nd semi final (1966) against a quality opponent

And read what the late Bobby Davis had to say about that performance - "No one ever played a better Captains game than Tuddenham pulled out of the hat for Collingwood and i doubt anyone will put in one equal to that . A half forward flanker who can bulldoze 7 goals in a finals match is a coaches dream . In Tuddys book it is a case of Collingwood 1st and Sticking plaster last . Where angels fear to tread he is 1st in the queue "

Thats is some rap

Never said a word about what number Tuddy wore. Wow he kicked 7 from a HFF. Fothergill kicked 9 in a game from a HFF, kicked 7 five times from a HFF and 6 a ridiculous amount of times. He also kicked 6 in a semi, 5 in a prelim and 4 in a GF all from a HFF and playing on ball. Tuddy was good but does not come close to Fothergill. Leave the Collingwood history to Collingwood people.

Trent Bianco clearly in a class of his own at the top.

Darryn Cresswell. Was a solid midfielder.

Still remember the day he dislocated his kneecap. I grabbed mine when he whacked it in and kept on playing.
