Harry Collier

Playing career

Originally from Ivanhoe, Victoria, Collier played for the Collingwood Football Club, debuting in 1926. Collier was a player in Collingwood's legendary premiership sides from 1927â€"1930, the only side to have won four premierships in a row in the entire history of the VFL/AFL.

He was appointed captain in 1935, a position which he held until 1939. During this period, his team won two premierships (in 1935 and 1936)), and finished runners-up in the other 3 years he was captain. He was said to be Collingwood's best player during the era, taking out the Club Best and Fairest award in 1928 and 1930. Collier retired in 1940 after only one game for the season - his career record standing at 259 games and 299 goals with the Magpies.

Collier was retrospectively rewarded a Brownlow Medal, after originally tying for the 1930 award. He, Stan Judkins (Richmond) and Allan Hopkins (Footscray) all finished with an equal number of votes. The Umpires Board (which administered the award) recommended that no medal be awarded as there was no provision for a tied result. However, the VFL administration over-ruled the umpires board and created a criterion that the medal should be awarded to the player who played the least number of games. Judkins' banishment to the seconds had won him the award. Adding to the controversy, one vote for a Collingwood game was simply labeled "Collier", but as there were two Collier brothers playing in the game, the vote wasn't counted. To avoid situations like this in the future the rules were altered to a 3-2-1 system in 1931. In 1989, Hopkins and Collier, while both still living, were awarded a Brownlow Medal retrospectively for their performances in the 1930 VFL season.

Other honours include his posthumous induction into Collingwood's Team of the Century and, in 1996, induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

Collier was the older brother of former champion Collingwood player (and the 1929 Brownlow Medal winner) Albert.

Colin Watson

Colin C. Watson (12 October 1900 â€" 20 October 1970) was an Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League.

Watson played with St Kilda in various positions, predominantly on the half back line or across the centre. Spotted as a schoolboy by Roy Cazaly and was brought to Melbourne in 1919 where he played some games with VFA side Port Melbourne. He played three games for St Kilda in 1920 before returning home to the country, and then returning to St Kilda mid-1922 where his career finally took off.

He was outstanding in the 1924 interstate carnival, won the Brownlow medal in 1925 and was regarded as the best footballer in the land.

Watson was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1996 and into the Saints inaugural Hall of Fame in 2003.

Jack Moriarty

After starting his senior career at Essendon Association, for whom he booted 35 goals in 1921, full forward Jack Moriarty made his league debut with Essendon in 1922.  Despite standing only 178cm in height, and weighing a mere 59kg, he proved to be a handy acquisition, kicking 36 goals in just 13 games to top the Dons' list.  Somewhat surprisingly, however, he was dropped for the 1922 preliminary final in favour ofGeorge Stockdale, and in the remainder of his time at Essendon he never managed to recapture his place in the senior side.The 1924 season saw Moriarty at Fitzroy where, using a combination of pace, guile and superb anticipation skills, he rapidly developed into a goalsneak par excellence.  In each of his first three matches with the Maroons he booted 7 goals, en route to a new VFL season's record of 82 - 14 more than the previous record which had, somewhat ironically, been established by Moriarty's replacement at Essendon, Greg Stockdale, in 1923.
Moriarty represented the VFL at the Hobart carnival in 1924, and went on to become virtually a permanent fixture in Big V sides for most of the next decade.  He topped Fitzroy's goal kicking list ever year between 1924 and 1933 except for 1929, and was voted the club's best and fairest player in 1927 during an era when an award of this type was not made every season.  All told, he booted 672 goals in his 170 game VFL career at an average of almost 4 per game.  In February 2002 he was allocated the coveted full forward position in Fitzroy's official 'Team of the Twentieth Century'.

I'm going to pick...


Reginald Hickey.
Geelong's biggest name, Reg Hickey dedicated 26 years of his life to the Geelong Football Club. 15 as player, and 11 as coach.
In a playing career spanning 245 games, Hickey earned a reputation as one of the games fairest and best players, and the premier centre half back of his era.
Renowned for his dashing runs out of defence, Hickey became a handful for opposition forward lines, with his unique ability to use both feet to devastating effect (a rare trait of the time) combined with an uncanny ability to shrug tackles off, Hickey was as much an attacker as he was a defender.
His record speaks for itself, 18 Victorian Representative appearances, 2 placings in the Brownlow Medal, 2 Best and Fairests, a dual premiership player (one as captain-coach), 9 seasons as club captain (holding the record for games captained at Geelong) and a member of the AFL Hall of Fame.

In 2002, when Geelong announced their Team of the Century, Hickey was named at Centre Half Back, and was also picked as the captain of the side.

For this team, he'll play as a 3rd tall, as well as captaining the side.
