[B]I was talking to a Collingwood supporter today and expressed my lament about how many pleyers they have pilfered off us over the years. As I was reeling them off they commented "you could fill a team with them!" ... I kept going ...
It got me thinking, what sort of a team has Collingwood "stolen" from us over the years?
Off the top of my head I came up with ...
B Tony Armstrong, Shane Morwood, Clinton King
HB Billy Picken, Jesse White, Mark Kinnear *
C Paul Licuria, Greg Smith, Mark Orchard
HF Demott Brereton, Anthony Rocca, Paul Morwood
F Paul Hawke, Graham Teasdale, David Young
Ru Darren Jolly
RR Gerard Healy **
Ro Barry Mitchell
I/C Peter Carter Jon Hummel
* traded, but didn�t play seniors
** drafted after retiring with injury, but didn�t sign with Collingwood
Then that got me thinking, maybe I was being too harsh. We have, after all, recruited a few from them ...
Paul Williams
Nick Davis
Andrew Schauble
Len Thompson
Billy Picken
Mark Orchard
Paul Hawke
Gavin Rose
Robbie Ahmat
Robert Dean
Craig Davis
Andrew Smith
Scott Russell
Mattew Ryan
Ben Wilson
Kent Butcher *
Nope! They still pillaged our list far too much! Did I miss any? I only included players who went directly from one club to the next (et not Richard Osborne who got to Collingwood from us via the Dogs).
