I hope so, Spitter was an awesome player in his pomp. Tackling and clearance machine.

Just watched a 2010 game v essendon on foxtel. He was on fire at the centre bounces.

That still irks me to this day.

Go easy. Laidley & Co didn't want to get all bogged down in red tape when it was time to strike on a recruiting opportunity.

Formalities like speaking to a player to see if they'd still like to be a professional footballer before trading for them can really get in the way when you're trying to move fast.

What was the story with Powell?
 
What was the story with Powell?

Traded in as part of a horror 2005 trade period where Laidley effectively burnt the list - Swallow was the saving grace.

Powell was (reportedly) brought in without screening from Sydney. He didn't want to play football anymore even before he arrived, reluctantly turned up at Arden Street before bailing out during the preseason. He later made comments about wanting to get injured during his first training sessions to get out of having to be there (confirmed - Footy Show interview).
