What was themost beneficial trade for a single club in the past year???

i.e. the greatest pickup???

 

[mic59]

The best for Port this year has definitely been Hardwick.

 

[Portia]

Turned out to be a prescient trade after Wilson got injured again.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

I know he was picked up last year but Paul Williams:

2 years - 2 best and fairest
2002 - 16 Brownlow votes

 

[ramjet]

cummings was a star for us.

Collingwood were successful in not trading despite criticism at the time. We kept our youth and they got us up the ladder.

The Hawks effectively got Luke Hodge, Sam Mitchell and Daniel Elstone for Croad and McPharlin.

So pretty even at the moment after Hodge's brilliant season and Sam Mitchell winning the Liston Tropy and impressing for the Hawks when he was in the side and for Freo, Croad and McPharlin both very good this season.

Yet to see Elstone as yet.

Will be interesting to see how this trade pans out to advantage in the end.

Cheers.

Corey McKernan for the Blues was a very good pick-up.

As was Barry Hall for the Swans.

Jalen Rose

Don't forget Nick Daffy, just to match the pick up of Steven Tingay the year before and Scott Russell prior to that

M.Michael (from previous season)
D.Bandy
T.Simmonds

Brad Miller ain't been too shabby for the Pacers too.

In footy, I'll go for Corey McKernan. After a shaky start where the media pulled out the knives, he really played well and I wouldn't mind him in a Hawks guernsey this coming season.

 

[markstaners]

Clint Bizzel was a bloody good trade on the Demons behalf.

 

[Stocka]

I think you also need to look at what a club has given up in order to get that player in the first place, when judging the degree of success of a trade.

When up and running Stafford has been very good for richmond and to justify that he will hopefully be signed up for another season or 2. Oh and we dont need to mention daffy we know how how good he was for Sydney.

These three can't be compared to Willo and Hall. Both those have been very good recruits for Sydney but they also came at a hefty price - a first and third round pick for Willo and a first round pick, Greg Stafford (indirectly) and the cost of taking Daffy off Richmond's hands.

Tingay and Russell weren't exactly successes but both "cost" only a pre-season draft pick.

The best value recruit for Sydney in recent years has been Schauble.

This guy is going to be a champion, IMO better than Pavlich.

Paul Hudson.
