I posted something in the Hickey thread about how we seem to recruit a lot of rucks from West Coast (Ball, Seaby, Sinclair, Hickey) and it got me thinking about which club has been the best "breeding ground" for us over the years?
Recent times we did well with JPK, McGlynn and Buddy from the Hawks. Got Spida a year too late, though. Collingwood were generous enough to give us two players who contributed to our 2005 flag with Davis and Williams, but even before that we saw guys like Schauble and Ahmat running around for us.
The Saints used to be huge. Locket and Barry Hall the obvious steals from them. Unfortunately that Irish flop ruined the streak.
I can really only comment on players we picked up from 95 onwards because that’s when I started watching footy but it seems there are clubs we never really trade with. I can’t remember doing much with Fremantle except being mad that they got Troy Cook
and Geelong have been a disaster for us with gems like Spriggs, Chambers, Menzel etc.
I’m also fuzzy on the details of how North got Longmire and Carey but they also got Shannon Grant
so they comfortably fit into the nightmare category.
