Best Player Acquisitions Of Recent Years?

[Always Ballin]

Eddie Betts comes to mind.

For us, Elliot Yeo and Jack Redden have been amazing acquisitions. Both took their time to really blossom, but you're seeing it come to fruition now.

Must suck to be Brisbane. Plenty of good footballers have come and left that squad in recent times.

Lewis Jetta has also become a quality pick-up for us. Ups and downs but he's found his niche on our team. Really complements the backline with Hurn as well. Extremely valuable to have 2 raking snipers who can kick bullet 60m passes.

Sinclair has done well for Sydney too. I think so?

Tom Rockcliff is coming around now. Looks healthy. Killing the stats game.

I also think Callum Ah Chee is going to be another Yeo revelation for us in time. He's of the same mold physically. Playing at home like Elliot will help this tremendously.

Hibberd went AA in year 1.

 

[SSSSSS]

Tom Mitchell for us recently. Filled a need and came in cheap considering his output.

Brian Lake surely has to go down as one of the best pick ups of all time? 3 flags wowee.

Hawks are the kings of it I guess. Big boy McEvoy was the best answer to a position that you guys had holes at.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Shaun Higgins was an amazing FA get.

 

[M Malice]

Jack Redden, Elliott Yeo, Sam Docherty, Jared Polec, Tom Rockliff.

OHH! NOOOOO!

OHH! NOOOOO!

Ouch. That's 3 genuine A-grade players and one who is on the cusp.

 

[Pablito]

Sam Docherty - AA, potential captain, only 24 still and only cost a second round draft pick.

 

[Matsu]

Charlie Cameron at Lions is looking awesome.

 

[Major Colvin]

Tom Mitchell to Hawthorn

 

[Eaglespur]

Redden? have I missed something?

He's strung together 5 good quality games in 30+ games.

Yeo tho.. yum

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Tim Membrey to St Kilda

Got him as a delisted free agent and has been wonderful for us (apart from the last few weeks, but even then he is still linking up well)

 

[Mofra]

In before Richmond supporters mention Nankervis - late pick for a guy holding down the no 1 ruck spot rucking almost solo.

 

[Scotland]

Hawks could've won with Hale as #1 ruck but not with Schoenmakers or Gibson or Frawley as #1 defender. Brian Lake is the best 3 year recruit I can think of.

Also Redden and Jetta aren't great recruits for us. Redden is playing well now but cost a late first round pick and took two years to get going. Jetta is flakey. Yeo is an ideal pick up. Only cost a second round pick, is still young and playing at a high level. But it wasn't really astute recruiting, he wanted out of Brisbane.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Patrick Dangerfield's been OK for Geelong.

His humour, humility and general demeanour have also really endeared him to opposition fans.

Always thought id him as a prima donna. Was shocked to learn Phil Davis spent the weekend at Moggs creek after our game. Bit more complicated than it seems, apparently

Surely they’d just be mates from their time at the Crows?...

 

[Power Play]

Josh Caddy has been great for us, and the draft pick we received in that trade got us Jack.

Jack Graham, that is.

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Must be
Just surprised me.

 

[Hirsty23]

Well I personally think Charlie Cameron has added an X factor to our forward line that has been missing for years. Call me biased but is he currently the best small forward in the comp?

 

[Anja_Nees]

Hibberd went AA in year 1.

Supplements saga would drive anyone to drink.

 

[Righteo]

Wouldn't be considered one of the best but Billy Hartung has been surprisingly solid for the Roos, despite the initial derision over his selection.

Nathan Wilson & Joel Hamling have been very good for us, they cost us pick 57 and a future 2nd rounder and pick 35 (and loose change) respectively.

 

[pieman123]

Jack Crisp has been very good.

 

[Punts]

Mitchell

 

[donkeypunchd]

Bernie Vince for us has been a fantastic pick up, has been a club champion a major upgrade on Col Sylvia, whose FA compensation pick we ontraded to the Crows.
