Wtf are they gunna do, play 9 ruckmen?
Cost:
Dangerfield: two 1st rounders
Selwood: 1st-2nd rounder when WC match
Henderson: 1st-2nd rounder
Zac Smith: 2nd rounder
Not gonna happen.
Do you really think this is the smartest thing to be posting after one player was literally choosing between the cats and your team and turned your team down literally an hour before your post to choose the cats. How did that not register in your head when posting? I'm fascinated by how that missed the keeper?Cats should consider them self's lucky that Danger was born and breed in Geelong otherwise he wouldn't go near them.
This was what I was thinking. It was a huge trade coup at the time. Especially when you also add in Blight. Pity it failed in getting any flags.Us in 2000.

Thank you for coming.
You don't count draft picks. If you count draft picks then Ablett, Bartel, Johnson and Kelly wins every time.This wins by a mile for me.
Five gun players for Kennedy and steak knives.

Dees 2014:
Lumumba, Frost, ANB, Stretch, Brayshaw, Petracca, vandenBerg, White, Newton, OMac. All bar Petracca played at least 1 game and a few played more than 10 games.

Is this a pisstake? Have you really read through some of the other posts in this thread and thought 'yep our 2014 off season is as good as that if not better'?Dees 2014:

The question the OP asks is about impressive list rejuvenation in a single offseason. Finding ten players who all contribute at senior level leading to almost doubling the win total when coming off the low base that Melbourne had is significant. Grabbing 5 legends in the same offseason is great but how many of them helped immediately led to a 3-win improvement the following year?Is this a pisstake?

Don't forget losing one of the best ruckmen in the game! Sauce.Carlton in the last few years:
OUT: Kennedy, Waite, Garlett, Betts, other players who can kick goals
IN: Dale Thomas
We win.
Doesn't matter, we have Kreuzer, Wood and WarnockDon't forget losing one of the best ruckmen in the game! Sauce.

As a saints supporter my recollection of Rodan is of a Gablett level player. He absolutely ******* turned it on every time he played us. Apparently he was a spud otherwise though.Well to be fair rodan is a great dancer
Had Rioli, too, until the salary cap got in the way.At the conclusion of 1985 Swans were 3rd last on the ladder.
1986 Sydney Swans first got Geelong coach Tom Hafey.
Then raided Geelong list of Greg Williams, Bernard Toohey and David Bolton
Champion centreman, classy half backer and pacy winger type.
They then got classy Essendon midfielder Merv Neagle (loved watching this guy play) and Gerard Healy off Melbourne. Healy a few years earlier kicked 77 goals as a forward but by this stage was a ruck rover type. Great long kick.
They also snared quality player from Bulldogs Jim Edmond, Paul Morwood from Saints and ruckman Glenn Coleman from Fitzroy.
At the end of home and away rounds of 1986 they were second on the ladder.
Greg Williams won his first Brownlow that year.
Greg Williams and Gerard Healy were devastating as a duo from centre for Swans.
There will never be an off season of player movements like there was from 1985 to 1986.
Truly was incredible.
In 1987 Swans at one stage had three matches in a row they scored 30 goals or more. Cannot see that ever happening again.

A bit off topic but I thought we did this in 1992. A check of the stats says 'close but no cigar'.
37.17 vs. Brisbane
32.18 vs. Adelaide
28.13 vs. Essendon
We should have won that flag but the Eagles shut us down. Bloody Matera!
