For a Collingwood player, there is no better way of getting noticed – or becoming a favourite with fans – than by putting on a memorable show against the old enemy, Carlton.
So we've put together a team of Magpies who, for one reason or another, will always be remembered for something they did against the Blues – goals, marks, biffo, outstanding performances.
It's a pretty fair team too – just look at that half-forward line!
Hopefully one of the 2016 Magpies adds his name to this list for all the right reasons on Saturday.
Team of Magpies who made a mark against Carlton
B: Stan Magro, Harry Saunders, Jack 'Soldier' Shorten
HB: Harry Rumney, Bill Picken, Denis Banks
C: John Greening, Bill Strickland, Mick McGuane
HF: Peter Daicos, Ron Todd, Phil Carman
F: Dick Lee, Peter McKenna, Archie Smith
R: Peter Moore, Des Tuddenham, Leon Davis
Int: Craig Starcevich, Graeme Jenkin, Quinten Lynch, Alf Toll.
Stan Magro
For that massive hit on Jezza in 1979.
Harry Saunders
For becoming the first player in VFL history to be charged by police with assault after knocking Alex Duncan unconscious in 1922.
Jack 'Soldier' Shorten
Ran from the backline to belt a Carlton opponent who had just hit Magpie Tom Baxter during the 1910 Grand Final. Was rubbed out for one-and-a-half seasons.
Harry Rumney
For being probably the best player ever to join us from Carlton. Left the Blues after two seasons and played in FIVE flags for the Pies, and won a Copeland.
Billy Picken
For starring every time we played the Blues in a final.
Denis Banks
For his famous moment with David Rhys-Jones.
John Greening
For his seven goals as a ruck-rover in a wild game in 1969.
Bill Strickland
A star at Carlton who had the good sense to cross to Collingwood in 1893 and changed the club forever. Led us to our first flag in 1896.
Mick McGuane
For that run, those bounces and that goal in 1994.
Peter Daicos
For three bags of seven against the old enemy, including one in just over half a game early in 1990.
Ron Todd
For kicking 11 against them in 1938 (still a record against the Blues).
Phil Carman
For single-handedly taking on almost the entire Carlton team in the first semi-final of 1978.
Dick Lee
For taking one of the most famous marks in football history against the Blues in 1914. And for kicking nine out of the team's 10 goals against them the following year.
Peter McKenna
For scoring his 100th goal of the 1970 season off the ground against them at Victoria Park, prompting wild celebrations.
Archie Smith
For kicking six goals (a staggering individual haul for the time) against the Blues in 1894.
Peter Moore
For taking mark of the year over Mike Fitzpatrick in 1978, and bagging seven goals against them the year before.
Des Tuddenham
For going down swinging, ending his career by breaking his arm while trying to hit Mark MacLure in 1976.
Leon Davis
For kicking two impossibly freakish goals from the boundary in the same game in 2009.
Craig Starcevich
For kicking three goals in three minutes in time-on to snatch a thrilling come-from-behind win at the MCG in 1988.
Graeme Jenkin
For poleaxing Alex Jesaulenko "in the groin" with one of his low zooming drop kicks while Jezza was standing the mark in 1970.
Quinten Lynch
For carrying us to victory in his unexpected role as ruckman in just his second game for the Pies in 2013.
Alf Toll
For kicking Collingwood's first ever goal as a senior football club, against Carlton in 1892.
