Just watching the DVD box set, and thought I'd make a thread as a word of thanks to the other clubs in the comp for allowing us a great last 17 years.
Adelaide: Thanks for Matner and Tippett.
Brisbane: A cameo from bradshaw, but C. Bolton was a gift. Also special thanks for taking Capper and Buchanan off our hands once they'd past their best.
Carlton: Cant think of any off hand, but did nick greg williams and David Rhys-jones a while ago, so they are definately not pulling their weight when it comes to assisting us.
Collingwood: Nick Davis, he did save us. Rhys Shaw came good. Williams was a nice one too. We did lose a few to them though... Rocca, Jolly, etc.
Essendon: All Australian Teddy Richards.
Fremantle: Another poor effort from them. Need to lift.
Geelong: The big mummy. But that did also give us Torcher Chambers and Spriggs.
Hawthorn: After offloading Dermie to us many years ago, they have been more generous in recent times with kennedy and McGlynn.
Melbourne: Gave us Jolly for a few years, and they have helped out our co-city team with Scully.
North Melbourne: Shwatter was handy and is always on our side in the commentary box, but cant think of any recent ones.
Port Adelaide: Stewie Dew in the coaches box is doing ok. Special thanks for taking Salopek instead of McVeigh in the 2004 (?) draft.
Richmond: Oh tigers, Mitch Morton for nothing was a timely gift this year. Did take a year to get the tiger-ness out of him though. But probably the best addition was Stewie maxfield, who started all the bloods culture weve thrived on.
St Kilda: Tony Lockett and Barry Hall was kindness above the call of duty. OBrien was handy too.
West Coast: Jason Ball, we built a game plan around him. No complains there.
Western Bulldogs: No one comes to mind.
Thanks for GWS and GC for not poaching anyone at all from us. Quite unusual really.
And Fitzroy for Roosey
