Opinion Top 5 recycled players

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Just watched this tsi thing http://www.sportal.com.au/tsi on top 5 recycled players of 2012. Walls went Hill, Ward, Maric, Ebert & Clark. Seems about right yeeeeeeaaah?

Not sure about Ward and Clark being classed as recylcled, they weren't out of favour at their old clubs. You wouldn't have called Ablett or Judd recycled when they moved to their new clubs.

Ward isn't recycled, he is stolen goods. We were desperate to keep him.

I'd take Hill over Ebert anyday.

I'd take Hill over Ebert anyday.

Maybe if you're brain dead you would

To my mind, a recycled player has been discarded (delisted) before reused (drafted). Trades and free agents are not recycled.

Surely Joel Patful would be a strong contender. Delisted by Port Adelaide in 2004, has been a regular player for the Lions every year since and just topped it off with a club best and fairest.

Edit: I'll add Matt Maguire to the list of top recycled players too. Delisted by St Kilda and drafted by Lions in 2009, he has had his best year in 2012. Rarely beaten in a 1-on-1 contest this year and would be the N0. 1 fullback for many AFL teams.

It must be a WA thing with all of us being brain-dead over here, cuz I would take Hill over Ebert too.

Stu Dew say's hi. Although obviously not for 2012, he'd have to be up there for impact.

Andrew Carazzo got delisted by geelong and is one of the best taggers these days at carlton

pods at the cats had also been delisted twice before
