Let's not pretend it is one way traffic here either. The Gold Coast picked up Gary Ablett THE best player in the comp at the time when they came in from Geelong, one of the biggest beneficiaries in this system. They have also picked up Lachie Weller and Mabior Chol recently. All clubs benefit and are disadvantaged in this system. Brisbane has also benefitted despite being a basket case formerly and one of the teams that would have been very much one of those that were picked for go home players. We've picked up Lachie Neale (he's won a Brownlow since), McCarthy and Cockatoo and Fort from Geelong in fact, Gunston, Hodge and Birchall from Hawthorn and Dunkley from the Bulldogs. Also got Beams from Collingwood in his prime. It doesn't always work out either. Nathan Buckley famously left the Lions for, in his words, to win flags. The Lions went on to win three back-to-back, Buckley won nothing, he did have front row seats though in two of those GF's as his team was beaten by the Lions, 'twas beautiful. [/QUOTE]
