Define "huge"?

In the past decade they got

1) Dangerfield who was a Moggs Creek boy, basically bled Geelong

2) Jezza who was a Pies supporter but wanted to live on a farm and raise his kid there.

That's it, the others who joined were either young kids from Geelong area like Tanner Bruhn or Ollie Henry who hadn't proven anything up to that point. Bruhn was getting plonked in the forward line out of position at GWS and Henry was playing VFL for half the season because he got replaced by Ash Johnson who himself got yeeted out back to VFL as well....

Or do you mean guys who were already over the hill/crapped on by oppo fans?

Isaac Smith (who while very good everyone said was old as dirt), Rhys Stanley, Jack Steven, Mitch Clark, Gary Rohan, Shaun Higgins, Luke Dahlhaus etc.

Wouldn't call any of the above list outside Danger nearly a decade ago and Jezza 5 years ago as 'Huge"

Majority of Cats insane ability has been on Wells and Mackie nailing internal hits on unknown or unheralded players.

Holmes, Blicavs, Stewart, Miers, Dempsey, Humphries, Close, Mannagh, Zuthrie, SDK, Atkins etc. etc.

None of the above were superstars coming in.
