Opinion Recruit of the Year 2019

[Juddernaut08]

Acquiring Chris Judd probably seemed like recruit of the year until you retroactively look at what it cost Carlton and it's clear the recruit wasn't all that worth it.

Money for value is a massive factor on who is recruit of the year.

He was awesome for us as a recruit and would be the best recruit of any year.

He is not the best value though. Thats be JPK v Mitchell Hawks v Swans lol

 

[Toffee Lion]

Certainly not the bloke in my name and avatar. Been very lazy in getting this changed.

Oh, Neale by the length of the Flemington straight.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Neale by so far we shouldnt even bother mentioning him and instead have a robust discussion about the silver

 

[coniglio_number1]

Looking more and more likely that beams may be the new bucks

 

[Jobe Watson]

Zac Clarke.

Except Beams has a flag. The way Beams has looked this year. Doesn’t look like he gives a crap whether he plays or not. Looks like he just wants a pay cheque. Hugely disappointing.

Neale.

It isn't even close.

That is disappointing, though his mental health issues might have had an influence on this. He couldn't have tried harder for us.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Neale and Lynch for sure.

Lynch's impact can't be understated. Holding the forwardline together when the rest of the team was crumbling around him early on, especially given his recent injury struggles, was massive. Without his performances on the road against Port and Freo then Richmond would be making up the numbers this year. He cost nothing in terms of draft picks and well unders in terms of salary.

 

[00Stinger]

Neale by a mile.

Not even a discussion

One of those players that has significantly bumped his stats up from the new play on after a point rule this year.

Come on now...he’s been fantastic.

Not even in the conversation with Neale though.

With Docherty, Williamson, Marchbank coming back next year, Simpson getting another year and Stocker also being groomed as a half back, how does your best back six look?

Yeah it’s pretty crowded, although a lot of unknowns given the injury history of Doc and Williamson.

I’d say it’s Jones, Weitering, Marchbank, Plowman, Doc (assuming going ok) and Newman. Williamson looks decent but needs a consistent run of footy, Stocker ultimately a mid in time, I think they are just easing him in across HB. Simpson on bench.

It’s a bit tall but Plowman doing ok on smaller players. Newman and Simpson can both push up onto a wing at times I guess if it’s necessary. Plus time has to catch up with Simmo at some point.

 

[Macpotata]

David Teague

 

[Mkcaptain]

Roughead would be up there

 

[eth-dog]

Neale
Lynch
Lyons (due to asking price)

 

[Pykie]

Relative value, Pittard would be right up there.

Probably finish close to top 5 in our B&F, cost basically no picks and is on a below average salary.

Gun.

 

[WillHayward]

Self explanatory, who has made the biggest impact for their new club in 2019? Who deserves an honorable mention? Who overpaid, who underpaid?

My take is Lachie Neale.

Honorable mentions to Nic Newman, Sam Lloyd & Sydney Stack.

Discuss.

Hang on.
How do you define 'recruit'?

Any new player or any player who has moved?

 

[WillHayward]

Neale for sure.

If you consider value for money I think Saints fans are very happy with Wilkie (Rookie list).
North fans would be happy with Pittard and Polec.
Tigers happy with Stack.
Blues Newman.
Eagles Hickey.

 

[Tom14]

If we're playing the value for money angle then I think it is Lyons or Roughhead.

Overall it's Neale though.

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

Jarryd Lyons for the cost they got him for

 

[M Malice]

Can I submit a value recruit on behalf of the dogs, Sam Lloyd for pick 64. Currently our leading goalkicker.

Good idea, I put forward Jarryd Lyons, cost nothing except cap space.

 

[M Malice]

Marcus Adams improving at a rate of knots, could prove to be the best of the lot in the long run, was sensational against Tom Hawkins yesterday, I don't think I have ever seen someone monster Hawkins physically like Adams did in that game.

Charlie Cameron, Lachie Neale, Jarryd Lyons, Lincoln McCathy and Marcus Adams are our recruits from other clubs since Chris Fagan came on board, absolutely exceptional work from our recruitment team.

 

[Winter]

While still recruit of the year, it should be mentioned Neale was a very good player at Fremantle.

Amazing Adelaide nor Carlton wanted him.
