A lot of clubs have recruited players (other than by drafting) in the last off-season and have been well rewarded. So, which player is the 'Recruit of the Year'?

I would think contenders include: Dawson at the Crows, Hewett at Carlton, Will Brodie at Freo, Tyson Stengle at Geelong, Mabior Chol at the Suns, and Paddy McCartin for us. That's quite a few success stories. Who have I missed?

They're all decent recruits but would you suggest any of them are recruit of the year?

I would say that the players you have in your poll list are ahead of that group for this award.

I went for Tyson Stengle.....sorry Paddy, you're a close second.:redface:

Dawson, we'd be locked into a battle for top place is he hadn't left. Will win the B&F at the Cows despite being used incorrectly, the only recruit to win a B&F this year.

Paddy could be justified on his form and importance to the side alone. Combine that success with his history and the gamble the Swans took on him makes him the stand-out for me.

Paddy and Stengle are above the rest for return over what it cost the team to bring them in.

Paddy was a free delisted player that cost us the minimum of a roster spot and low salary.

Dawson will cost the Crows $600K and the loss of Ladhams and the gain of a four draft positions so isn’t even close to consideration if you factor in the cost.

They lost a first round pick (Melbourne's). The other stuff came from/went to Port.
