True, but my objection is, & always will be, that the Magpies continuously take advantage of clubs in a vulnerable position - pillaging needed talent, giving noting. Actually, like Hawthorn does now.
& imagine if a list was made of the hasbeens we've recruited over the years
Can't dispute that.
Yes, but they stole him when we were in a very weak position.
He had a fair final season with them & mostly retired for business reasons. Wasn't their worst ... & (grudgingly) admittedly we had just sacked him earlier that year.
Alright, but he resurrected his career with Richmond.
Well, yes, but incredibly he became an injury prone way past it with us ... and then they stole him back! The nerve!!
De-listed. Rookie listed. De-listed. Can I assume you mean "insipid steal"?
Yep, take Rocca and Licuria.
Bionic man. He was a Victorian State Rep. With respect, you mayhaps underrate him? (OK, he was one of my favourites as a little kid)
They traded him out then stole him back (compare with Hawke below)
haha - man mountain ... so much promise ... so little delivered
Hack when he came to us.
They stole him, chewed his remaining best years out of him, then spat him back at us for a final game (compare with Orchard above)
ironically, they stole a past-his-prime Brownlow medalist from us because he demolished a Brownlow medalist ... who came to us past his prime.
Sliding doors - Plugger/Rocca forward line (joined by Barry Hall) .... sweeeeet! Instead, Collingwood steals Rocca after giving a fair crack at getting Lockett before we signed him.
Was probably just before my time (just got stolen when I became a Swans supporter). He's a fantastic landscaper now!
Jolly ... sure, good pick up ... the man wanted to stay a Swan but Collingwood got word that they could take advantage of his marital difficulties to lure him south.
Mitchell? Didn't do much for them. Far better with the Blues subsequently. Far, far better with us.
