Best five players to come from other Clubs over the past 30 years

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Yes it is the bye and I am bored rigid. But here is a topic that could keep us warm as the chill of winter descends.

My top 5 are-
1 Buddy
2 Maxfield
3 Plugger
4 Roos
5 Davis

All the above are for different reasons and no disrespect is intended for all the terrific players who have represented our Club.

 

[Punts]

Jpk top 5 easy imo

 

[Punts]

I would also have Bolton well before Davis and probably par with roos

yep Bolton was fantastic

 

[Punts]

Jpk top 3 Imo

 

[RW]

JPK has to be in there and there's a strong case for Bolton too, but don't forget Maxfield's role in the 2005 flag. He was just as important to us as Brave Bob was to the Dogs in 2016, but didn't make a fool of himself on the big day. It's a good discussion to have though!

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Buddy wasnt an actual trade so I'd have JPK instead of him at 1.
Ted Richards over Davis at 5 imo.

Davis played 1 good game and gets in the top 5 list. Kennedy carries a midfield for a decade and no mention.

JPK is my favourite Swan ever so I'm not disagreeing with you

BUT

That one good game (more accurately quarter) by Davis was amazing and resulted in the unimaginable.

 

[swanssince2002]

I think based on productivity over a decade JPK gets in the top 5 list tbh... but in terms of sentimentality and how important that one game was for us, Davis for sure. Its something that we would tell our kids it actually happened. 15 years on and I still know what the goals looked like.

 

[Ticky009]

Listing them:

1: JPK
2: Tony Lockett
3: Roos
4: Maxfield
5: Craig Bolton

 

[Tedeski]

but didn't make a fool of himself on the big day

He obviously wasn't brave enough.

 

[swanssince2002]

Just looked at Maxfield's playing career and its quite an interesting background there. Tiges let him go for some reason. Was an uncontracted player, years later he becomes our captain. Nice bit of trivia...

Was probably the second player I recognised playing for the Swans (after Hall ofc).

 

[Membling]

Off the top of my head:
Hall
Ball
Williams
Jolly
Lockett
Maxfield
JPK
Davis
Bolton
Roos

Top 5 in no order:
Hall
Roos
Lockett
Maxfield
JPK

Forgot Roos.

 

[BloodySwan]

1. Roos
2. Kennedy
3. Plugger
4. Maxfield
5. Buddy

Roos meant so much more to the Swans than just his playing career. Easily top 1 IMO

 

[Jewelsbon]

5. Buddy

Yep exactly right. When you look at our club as a whole, he is the standout.

 

[Ticky009]

1. Roos
2. Kennedy
3. Plugger
4. Maxfield
5. Buddy

Roos meant so much more to the Swans than just his playing career. Easily top 1 IMO

Buddy wasn't a trade though

 

[BloodySwan]

Buddy wasn't a trade though

Neither was Roos, came to us via the pre-season draft

 

[Ticky009]

Neither was Roos, came to us via the pre-season draft

Hahaha. So they should both be out. The question is do we want them to be....I'm thinking probably no.

 

[robbieando]

Neither was Roos, came to us via the pre-season draft

Stuart Maxfield and Craig Bolton both joined us via the Pre Season Draft as well (Maxfield as an Uncontracted Player selection alongside Kevin Dyson)

 

[Jewelsbon]

Perhaps we should change the thread title to - Five best players to have come to us in the last 30 years

 

[SwansProudly]

Perhaps we should change the thread title to - Five best players to have come to us in the last 30 years

you may have to include "value" Dane Rampe (rookie draft 37 in 2013) Tom Papley (rookie draft 14 in 2015)

 

[Bonz]

Perhaps we should change the thread title to - Five best players to have come to us in the last 30 years

Then you may as well include draft.

1. A Goodes

Okie dokie then - Five best Swans of the last 30 years !
