I was a double edged sword though. Club's had to "pay" transfer fees for players, so bringing someone from SA or WA or country Vic was risky as the guy may turn out to be a dud and the transfer fee was wasted. I remember we sold Hardie to the Bears for a then record transfer fee of $270k. This fee was later topped by what the Bears paid for Warwick Capper!
I just realised, it's 5 Brownlows, not 4.

Geoff Raines played U19's with us but we didn't want him.
