Players linked to your club that (in hindsight) you are glad you missed.

[Joshen]

While watching the game tonight I suddenly remembered that North heavily courted Josh Caddy a few years back but ultimately he chose the Cats over us. In hindsight, missing out wasn't such a bad thing, Caddy is at his third club and hardly setting the world on fire, the cost was approximately a first rounder and at present inside midfielder/medium forward is not an area of need.

We were also linked to Vickery last year which shapes as a significant dodged bullet.

Even JOM with his continued injury challenges would have cost us Simpkin at the least. Seems like a good miss in hindsight.

Curious to hear other examples where 'not quite working out' turned into the better alternative.

Chris Mayne lol

Travis Cloke was linked to us last year. Despite our need for a KPF, he wouldn't have fit in with our age demographic or gameplan (We're playing one of the youngest and shortest sides each round) and he would've retired by the time we were ready to contend.

Essendon was also linked to Jaeger O'Meara. So they dodged a bullet there.

I remember some freo fans on twitter getting excited when Jesse White's name popped up as a possible recruit.

Cloke, Mitch Clark are two good ones already raised but I reckon either of those blokes fit and in form would have got us a flag.

Historically when Pav was out of contract and Adelaide mentioned as a destination Nathan van Berlo's name was thrown up which made me throw up.

Chris masten

We were apparently attempting to lure him along with Palmer as they were mates and for some reason rated.

 

[Sammymoite]

Justin Murphy, Ty Zantuck, Richard Cole, Mark Alvey as well as many more that I'm sure we'd never consider getting

Shouldn't Richmond be trying to contend this year?

Hamish Hartlett.... can't believe some people thought they were going to get a top 10 pick for him

Dion Prestia. Thank the lord!

Jack Trengove.

Shame your doctor didn't fall for our cunning plan of holding a thumb over the bit of the X-Ray showing he was crocked.

Jaegar O'Meara.

By not matching we got another 2 cups. Would hate to think which 2014/15 premiership players we would have lost.
