All time 2 way tie between Leigh Matthews and Wayne Carey can not split them
Since 2000 and retired top 3 are Gary Ablett junior Michael Voss and Nathan Buckley
Current top 3 Lance Franklin Dustin Martin and Scott Pendlebury even though Pendlebury is ageing and nearing retirement still think he is still top 3 well top 3 in experience too
Current best young player in the comp currently Nick Daicos
As with all time great best players I reckon there would be great players that played for Collingwood in the 1920s until the 1940s like Coventry say no one could match Collingwood for the first 40 years of the 20th century for best players
My top 5 favourite players Collingwood since 1990
Paul Williams
Nathan Buckley
Chris Tarrant
Peter Daicos
Scott Pendlebury

I reckon Ron Barassi and Dick Reynolds have Carey well covered.

I fact, I have a list as long as my arm of players better than Carey.

I've always thought it's a tragedy we don't have more archival footage of players like those blokes, Royce Hart, etc.

We only have random clips, and some finals from those eras in their entirety?
But I guess that was the state of technology back in the day?
