Who will be recruit of the year?

[Sydswans0512]

Neither were, where was that reported? He didn't even put contract talks on hold he signed during the season. He was never leaving or under any rumors of leaving.

Overrated anyway

 

[slvr tl blk wht]

I think Matty White is gonna have a great year at port

but voted for Ben Mcevoy to help Hawthorn go back to back

dale thomas surrounded by a tough superior midfield will be a star @ the blues

Which tough mids Murphy, Gibbs, Yarran and a old Judd, they have nothing on Beams, Swan, Ball and Pendles.

Yeah, not sure about that previous statement.
But if they can just get Thomas out on the park for all games this year they will have a very good contributor on their hands.

I have a funny feeling you'll be right. Great forward when he's on and was picked up for next to nothing.

His addition helps Adelaide's structure.

So great, that they lost to Port who didn't beat Carlton last year. This must be due to old man Ball playing.

Everitt could prove to be a bargain pick up after we downgraded pick 32 for pick 39. Could be a win-win trade if Sydney bring in Rohan or Johnson up and the mid they drafted.

How did Carlton go against Collingwood last year (once without Ball and twice without Beams)?

But I digress, do you honestly believe Carlton have the better midfield?

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Taylor Adams. He is an absolute gun.

Eddie Betts will be the worst. I reckon he will struggle to get a game.

Could you explain this? The Betts comment, I mean.

 

[The Dice Man]

Mcguane

Please explain? Couldn't get a game at Richmond and if Brisbane are finals bound(chortle) you're gonna need something a bit better.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Think it will be out of Dal Santo, McEvoy, Buddy and Sylvia as they have gone to clubs with the potential to be major players in the finals.

 

[jiphoc]

An interesting point would be what the best recruit would be compared to what the club gave up (salary, draft picks, players, etc...).

My top 3 for this would be
1. Paine
2. Crameri
3. McEvoy
If Sydney don't win a flag in the next 2 years Buddy will be a huge waste for them, he is huge gamble. Thus him not making the list. As for other notes I feel Savage, Gumbleton and Vince could be big winner. Just a good feeling on those ones.

Not only do they have a better midfield but with hardmen like Gibbs, Yarran and Murphy they also have easily the toughest midfield in the AFL

Where's the cameron wood option?

Was wondering the same thing about Tony Armstrong tbh.

I obviously couldn't fit everyone in so I put the more high profile recruits in. You can see all the players I had to leave out in the OP.

My post was facetious in response to a very obvious Carlton troll.

Damn it

It's pretty ridiculous that Heath Shaw has only one vote. With the exception of last season (where he was still a really solid player) he has been in the top 2-3 backflankers in the AFL over the last 5 seasons.

Other than Buddy (who will carry the burden of ridiculously high expectations), I'd have Shaw and Betts as the two favorites to take this out. Both are proven high level AFL players in their respective positions, are not old and are injury free and have been throughout most of their respective careers.

Cameron Wood probably has more "wtf" profile than any player in that list.

Also Paul Medhurst and to a lesser extent Lee Brown were "wtf" Malthouse selections who probably would have ranked high or won this type of poll in seasons past. There's more chance of Wood doing something decent this season than guys like Nahas or Cross imo.

Good point, where's Armstrong?

In the VFL board.
