Looking at the former Captains that the Old Boys have recruited is very impressive

Hard to argue anyone beats Turbo’s recruiting

Recruiting or poaching?

Doesn’t take much to slide in the PM’s of an existing player (just ask damicky ), it takes more effort to recruit a new player to the league

On the back of Mount Buller's recent porptastic recruiting success, I was thinking about the biggest recruitment stories in league history. What comes to mind for you?

Some from me to get us started:

Ant Bear to the Wonders in Season 28/29 or so. Massive at the time and very unexpected given AB had been a Rat for so long.

Mobbs was a really significant get for the Ophidians in terms of legitimacy IMO.

Barrybran leaving the Bears for the Gumbies, which helped to set the culture at the Gumbies (still thriving in that department from what I can tell).

What other moves?

thank you Headless for reminding me we do not have an emu at Spotswood, the recruiting department will start working on that

Not sure what season it took place but Mt Buller managing to get KohPhi out of Baghdad would have to be right up there.

If the Mcwilliams Sherry was more plentiful, he'd still be there.

Furies getting Ava out of Baghdad S30 was a big move as well, great poster and missed

I almost missed KohPhi's entire career at the Demons as I had gone to make myself a herbal tea.

If you offered to make me one, I'd still be there..

Don't be like that.

Baghdad getting Ava back from the Furies was even bigger

not after 245kg of love muscle had its way

I miss people sliding into my pm's trying to recruit me, I guess they've realised how terrible I am and have given up.

Surely you’d know her heart belonged to another …

 

[Gralin]

Look I'm not saying we've got another one Headless but I did just sign SSwans2011 in your thread on The Club Room sub board

Don’t bother
