Collingwood's under-19 teams always had the primary focus of producing footballers for the club's senior team. But the thirds managed to win a quartet of flags along the way as well. The first came in a one - point thriller over Geelong in 1960, and the last the now legendary 1986 success that also produced a handful of players - Mick McGuane, Gavin Brown, Gavin Crosisca and Damian Monkhorst - who helped form the core of the 1990 senior Premiership team. But even when the under - 19s alumni aren't quite as famous as that '86 quartet, it's always fascinating to see who went on to bigger things, like Laurie Hill, John Knox and John Murton from the 1960 team, Dennis Le Gassick and Gary Wallis from 1965, and Terry Wight in 1974. And to wonder what might have happened to the other young guns. And by the way, if you look hard at the 1974 team photo, you might see our former football manager, Geoff Walsh, in there. Yes, he could play a bit!
