Poaching Spuds

[Bunk Moreland]

Do you think he's a spud?

Yep. Stupid draft selection by us at pick 29. He was thought of as a bit of a project player or an unfulfilled talent to date. He actually quit footy at 16 for a year because he just wasn’t that into it.

He never looked like it in the VFL and I can’t work out why North chased him.

Hayden Crozier was a strange pickup for the Dogs, I thought

Especially for pick 2.

That's wierd at the time a few Essendon supporters were on our board with different opinions. Ah well cost us nothing!

Ports poached Watts, Toumpas, Trengive, Jurrah and also Dom Barry (through a 3rd party) from Melbourne in recent years

All potatos

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Richard Tambling and Angus Graham.

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Tom Boyd.

He was delisted because of the poaching. He told Essendon he had an offer from North and was going there.

It wasn’t even worth anyone’s time doing a trade for pick 90 or something.

Just a really bizarre one.

I think he wins simply because his team chose to delist him instead of faxing through some paperwork.

Tom Boyd.

Amazingly overpaid but did kick a good grand final goal

North have had a history of trading for spuds but have been pretty good lately.

After seeing Greenwood playing for the pies tonight it made me think of players who have been poached from your club that have had you secretly go "lololololol who wants that spud?"

Fremantle might have the same reaction when mayne left for example

Has anyone else had the same reaction when a player has left their club?

Greenwood to Daicos....Goal...Hehe

 

[Jack Bradley]

I would be happy if north paid 6 mill for 1 grand final

 

[Jack Bradley]

Greenwood to Daicos....Goal...Hehe

Greenwood hit a target?!? Buy a lotto ticket tomorrow

 

[Catgirl]

Shane Kersten lololol

Shane Kersten lololol

I think he kicked a goal to beat us last year or the year before

I think we made the right call only offering Greenwood $270k a year for 2 years. Probably overs with hindsight. Almost got sucked into a silly Ebay bidding war.

I heard Collingwood were paying him 500000

Yeah, something like that. At least his contract expires this year, the cash should go towards De Goey.

Or lynch

Or Mayne.

 

[Brad Goodman]

I’m guessing North never saw Marley Williams kick

 

[Mercy Seat]

Ty Vickery surely hall of fame. Paid him 500 a year too...
