With season 2007 now behind us, it's time to reflect on the magnificent efforts of the players.

While the team narrowly missed out on playing off in the Grand Final, the club enjoyed an outstanding season, and collingwoodfc.com.au would like to acknowledge the work of each player who pulled on the black and white stripes, with a photographic tribute.

The first player in the series is our inspirational vice-captain who has decided to hang up the boots after 230 stellar games. Congratulations on a fine career Jimmy.
