Opinion Champions at one club who had a short stint at another

[just_kick_it]

Andrew McLeod-drafted to Freo in '94, didn't play a game then traded to the Crows for some Cris Groom fellow...Freo got screwed

Trent Croad-Drafted by Hawthorn, traded to Freo for the draft pick that got Hodge and Mitchell, then traded back to the Hawks for Pick 10 (Ryley Dunn)...Freo screwed once again

FREO ARE STILL BEING SCREWED IN 2009 and probably in 2010 with this gem of a decision, lol !

Thats a decision that has affected them for 15 years and counting.

 

[The Swert]

I would say Greg Williams but he won praise at all Geelong, Sydney and Carlton.

Mal Michael - Collingwood > Brisbane > Essendon

Dale Kickett - Fitzroy > West Coast > St Kilda > Essendon > Fremantle

Justin Madden - Essendon > Carlton

Scott Cummings - champion at several clubs but a poor stint at Collingwood in 2002

Justin Murphy - Richmond > Carlton > Geelong > Carlton > Essendon

Richard Osborne - Fitzroy > Sydney > Footscray > Collingwood

Martin Pike - started at Melbourne but became champion at North Melbourne and Brisbane

Paul Roos - Fitzroy > Sydney

Doug Wade.

Bit hard to play a game for a club that wasnt in the AFL at the time. Neesham wanted him, the rest didnt, sad story for freo as hes arguably the best half back flanker in the comp

 

[Wallaby]

Len Thompson - my favorite Collingwood player - wanted to get to 300, so had crappy one-season stints at both South and Fitzroy.

Jezza at St Kilda

Alan Noonan at Richmond

 

[Firrito24]

Corey McKernan - North champion to Carlton
Mick Martyn - as above

 

[The Crow Show]

Wayne Schwass - North to Sydney
Shannon Grant - Sydney to North
Anthony Rocca - Sydney to Collingwood

 

[tribey]

Brenton Sanderson. Inaugural Crows list (6 games, 4 goals), then off to Collingwood for just the one season (4 games, 1 goal), then a very good career at Geelong (199 games, 29 goals, 2001 B&F, vice-captain).

 

[tribey]

6 seasons for Essendon, 10 for Port. Neither was exactly a 'short stint'

12 when you consider his junior career and senior premiership for Port circa 1989-1990 (see aviator).

 

[DeanoT]

Shaun Rehn to Hawthorn, disappointing for him to have to finish his career elsewhere, was the heart and soul of our footy club

I assume this was a Gary Ayres inspired move ? We had a few of those at Catland during his time. No wonder he coaches Port Melbourne these days.

 

[Rowie09]

Darren Jarman, Paul Barnard and Brad Scott were all Hawks before moving on to the clubs where they forged their names.

 

[jonesy86]

Paul Licuria at Sydney
Damien Monkhorst at St Kilda
Tony Francis at St Kilda
Scott Russell at Sydney

 

[Damon_3388]

Darren Jarman, Paul Barnard and Brad Scott were all Hawks before moving on to the clubs where they forged their names.

Darren Jarman was a Premiership player, 2-time All-Australian (1992, 1995), Best and Fairest (1995), multi-time State of Origin representative, and runner-up in the Brownlow Medal (1995) all while playing for Hawthorn. Sure, he's best remembered for the last quarter of the 1997 Grand Final with the Crows, but he was hardly a nobody in his 5 seasons for the Hawks.

 

[crudbucket]

Laurie Sandilands (Footscray / Collingwood)
Ian Low (Footscray / Collingwood)
Ron Andrews (Essendon / Collingwood)
Warwick Irwin (Fitzroy / Collingwood)
Geoff Raines (Richmond / Collingwood)
David Cloke (Richmond / Collingwood)
Paul Hawke (Sydney / Collingwood)
Greg Smith (Sydney / Collingwood)
Ray Byrne (Carlton / Collingwood)
John Williams (Essendon / Collingwood)

Spot the trend ? We tried everything in the '70s and '80s and still came up short ......

 

[Burzum]

Damien Hardwick (Essendon / Port)
Blake Caracella (Essendon / Brisbane / Collingwood)
Barry Davis (Essendon / North)

 

[Father Jack]

Derek Kickett (Essendon/Sydney)
Joel Smith (St Kilda/Hawthorn)

Des Headland is an interesting one, a short stint at one club where he made a name and won a flag, then a longer stint at another club where he basically did nothing and won nothing.

 

[pluga_4]

tom harley (port adelaide / geelong)
grant thomas (st kilda/ north/ fitzroy)
warwick capper (sydney / brisbane / sydney)
mick malthouse (st kilda/ richmond)
jade rawlings (hawthorn/ bulldogs/ north)
rodney eade (hawthorn/ brisbane)

 

[tubbis]

Nathan Brown from Bulldogs to Richmond

 

[Supermercado]

Some of the "champions" listed in this thread are no better than average players so I'll follow the same path.

From Melbourne
Greg Wells to Carlton. Got a flag, good luck to him.
Danny Hughes to Adelaide.
Norm Smith to Fitzroy
Steven Stretch to Fitzroy
Garry Baker to Sydney

To Melbourne
Peter Vardy from Adelaide (oh if he had stayed fit in '04...)
Phil Carman from Collingwood
Craig Turley from West Coast
Jamie Shanahan from St. Kilda

And in non-MFC related moves out of the VFL how about Ron Barassi and Peter McKenna to Port Melbourne?

Happened quite a bit in the early days, even Cazaly upped pegs and moved to Tassie.

 

[abers47]

Ricky O went to Collingwood as well, before North in fact

How could I forget that???

 

[Damon_3388]

Mark Williams (current Port Adelaide coach) - Went from being Captain of Collingwood in 1986, to Vice Captain of the Brisbane Bears in their inaugural season in 1987. He actually spent 4 seasons with Brisbane, but he's probably most well known for being a former Collingwood Captain and coaching the Power to their first Premiership.

 

[TheJanuaryMan]

hard to top fitzroy taking jeff hogg from richmond in exchange for 3 pretty decent players...would kindly say richmond got the best end of that deal.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Stewy Dew - Port Premiership player then won one at the Hawks
Mathew Clarke and Mark Mickan went from Brisbane to Adelaide

Am i right in saying Mark won B&F's both clubs?
