What did we get for Bernie, Barry and Brian
Bernie - $70k. Think Pies were prepared to offer more, and were desperate for him. In hindsight, may have been the difference for them between 3 GF losses and 3 flags! Our club was determined he wasn't going to Pies, so he sat out part of the 78 season, I think he trained with Sandringham (as they were VFA he could have crossed there without a clearance at the time). Club officials weren't so fussed about him eventually going to Fitzroy.
Roundie - not sure we got much for him at all. He was clearly our only genuine ruck behind Dempsey in 75, but I can't remember if Goggin (with Hampshire in tow) arrived first, prompting him to look elsewhere, or he decided he needed to get out of Dempsey's shadow. As it was, at one stage at South, he was rucking with Teasdale and then Len Thompson came alone as well (in 77), so they had 3 current/future Brownlow Medallists all rucking together in one side!

Edit: correction, in 77 they had Teasdale, Round and ex-North captain Barry Goodingham in the ruck. Thommo arrived in 79 - rested forward a bit, kicking a few goals, but Roundie and Thommo shared the ruck load. Teasdale I think was injured for part of that season?
