sorry. I thought it was big name players who came to Collingwood. He was a great player for us. Is this a list of the busts? My mistake.

Jarrod Molloy was 2nd in the Copeland in 2001.
If his ankles held up we probably win 02.
Don't forget he was only 28 when he retired.
EDIT 27 when he retired

David Cloke loved Collingwood. Part of the reason his sons played there.

Did we draft him, but he never turned up, just stayed in Darwin?
He was traded to Collingwood, and he did go there, but he wasn't happy and walked out (before the season started): NMFC Archives: Adrian McAdam
It is debatable as to whether or not his name belongs in this thread, but he had a lot of talent, and the move to recruit him did not work out well for him/us!

I did. All big names with the exception of Leigh Brown. Just added him in for good measure since he was a high draft pick. Krakouer is a big name, especially with Phil in front of it.
The bold bit (this is from the OP) is a key bit some seem to have missed!: Just pondering the champion/big name players who have came to Collingwood late in their careers and had very little impact.

Hudson would normally count as a big name, but not really under the circumstances he came as he had already 'retired' twice.

And of course there was his brother as well.
Now as I was too young so i've got no idea just looking at stats... 1992 Brad Hardie coming from Brisbane, was this a big recruit at the time? Leading goalkicker, Brownlow medal.
Also notice it was the first year without Millane, I'd imagine you couldn't replace a player like what Millane was but was there high hope for us back then bringing in this guy?
