    There are many more as well. Hall was one of the best recruits at the end of their career, kicking 80 goals and 55 the following injured ravaged year. I thought Aker's first three years with us were very good and went one year too long.

      Re: Proactive Poaching

      We've tried to trade in keys in Cook, Minton-Connell, Hunter, MacDougall, Street, Bandy, Rawlings, Hall, Bartlett and that's not even mentioning Bate, Dawes or Gumby which for all intents and purposes a former Footy Dept were eager to get.
      But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

        The hyphen was good for us - I swear I was there at WO the one time in his entire career he marked above his head.

        Street's loudest ever cheer as at Docklands when he took a running bounce, possibly the only one in his career as well.

          It's the 30 plus year olds at the end of their career that I object to.

            Fondly recalled. Streety's running bounce ranks up there with McLean scaling Tom Boyd's back and is surely just as statue-worthy.

                      An interesting question is who is the best player we have drafted in? Plough absolutely killed it. Any others?

                          Over a long and great career with us, the best player traded in would be Peter Foster from Fitzroy, and for less than 15k.

                          But for that single moment that we’d all being living for, what value do you put on the Boyd trade or even Biggs for that matter?

                            Jose Romero was pretty good too.
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
