I got one, yep, when was the last time, very last time, Collingwood had a fully fit, and uninjured list, with not one player injured, not one, from which we could choose our very best side ? I would say the 1953 Grand Final, LOL, no, joking, id say the 2010 Grand Final, the first one ? :? :o

Unless I miss my guess, it's this debacle from rnd.12 2000:

https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/2 ... 00527.html

Round: 12 Venue: M.C.G. Date: Sat, 27-May-2000 2:10 PM
Collingwood 2.3.15 6.7.43 8.12.60 9.13.67
Geelong 1.4.10 1.7.13 7.8.50 10.11.71

Best loss we ever had; win this and we'd finish 12th instead of 15th.
Which would mean: no Didak in the 2000 draft.
And that would not have been good long term!

Ok guys, here’s another one (inspired by a discussion in another thread): in Round 6, we got to see all of our selections from the 2018 National Draft (Isaac Quaynor, Will Kelly and Atu Bosenavulagi) together on the field for the first time, and hopefully it was only the first of many. But this is actually a surprisingly uncommon phenomenon, and most years’ draftees never all get to be selected in the same side. In fact, since the National Draft was instituted in 1986, only four of our National Draft crops in total have ever managed this feat.

Question 1: Can you guess the other three?

Question 2: Which group managed the most games together (i.e. in which they all played)?
