Collingwood (VFL) 1950-1960 - 180 Games, 148 Goals
THOROLD MERRETT, who played for Cobden in a team coached by Jack Murphy, a former player, is regarded as No. I player at Collingwood, where 14 first year players have been tested. Merrett was only 16 when he played his first senior game. He is small and only a lightweight, but he is a typical smart Collingwood player. As a wing man, his pace, clever ball-hand- ling, and delightful stab-kick passing have the touch of genius.
