Did he ever go to another team? Lol.

It’s a strong team, any nominations as to which clubs would be stronger?

Carlton come to mind as they have a few good players leave over that period:

Bloody strong group of forwards- Kennedy, Betts, Fevola, Garlett, Waite, Hamill, Minton-Connell.
Defence not quite so good - Tuohy, Jones, Henderson, Massie, Yarran, Russell, Beaumont

Plus Allan, Jacobs, Robinson, Murphy, Gibbs, Grigg, Hampson, Menzel for some sort of unbalanced 22.

Their forward line is better than ours, our defence better than theirs.

Oh ok. I just thought ex players.

There are a lot of KP hacks who they picked up with high picks.

  • Patton
  • Boyd
  • Plowman
  • Marchbank
  • Hombsch

Their midfield loss in unbelievable…and they still have a great midfield there still.

They were bad in identifying KPPs but great with midfield selections…like Opposite to Dodoro.

My bad…I worded it poorly.

It’s so good we can’t even fit Townsend in.

FF - LEROY MCKERNAN DELL’OLIO

That will teach me to use a list of trades on a Carlton fans website!

Could also add in Bond, Harrison & McKernan.

Given the weakness of the midfield, Olarenshaw and Prior would be possibilities.

Really we should rule out guys who left in the very twilight of their careers to eke out an extra season or two, or to transition into coaching.
