    Re: Thanks Sydney

    Steve Hoffman is another one we got at the tail end of his career .
    Bones Mcghie I think went from us to south back in the day also .
    Rampe's ok, but I'd prefer Biggs .
    Great recruiting right there

      One of my family members is a Swans man and he absolutely would have taken Biggsy - he doesn't rate Rampe's disposal.

      For all our talk of our high draft picks, we have three former rookies in the backline now lauded as the most dangerous rebounding backline in the competition and one of those was a freebie from Sydney. Throw in a freebie from the Hawks as a FA (Suckling rotating through there) and our list managers deserve praise.

        Didn't Suckling also start as a rookie at Hawthorn?

          For one or two years I think.

              Damn we are rookie central!
              Get Campbell & Adcock in the team now to bump up rookie numbers, and Dahl goes alright too

                Not sure but looks like Mofra found 1 that did

                Like with Suckling & Hamling, it was a case of a good side rating the player but having to choose someone to let go, but maybe they picked the wrong player
                If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
