What's your definition?
Beams had been top 10 in the past 2 Brownlow's and a club captain before joining us.
Treloar was a pre-selected draftee (probably would have been top 3), was targeted by Richmond and had the most possessions in the AFL in 2019.
I'd say both qualified to meet your criteria.
We've been a regular finals participant and our players become sought after and therefore we have to pay a reasonable amount to keep them. Very few top performing clubs have the ability to bring in very expensive talent in the way Lynch went to Richmond or Dangerfield to Geelong or Buddy to Sydney (which had a salary cap advantage). Most of those deals don't see players on the open market in the way Lynch was paraded either.
As for whether we have pulling power, I think that guys like Mason Cox selecting us shows we have pulling power still. There were about 6 clubs lining up for his signature at the time. |
True, and young Stephenson will oneday be a big name, and of course De Goey and Grundy already are, homegrown varjiety. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.
