Really? The other 5 would be pretty close no? How about a comparison of what each group cost their new clubs in terms of draft picks?
Rhys Shaw - Bachar Houli Rhys runs and carries better. Better under pressure. Can tag. Runner up BS medal 2011.
Mumford - The Mullet Fairly comparable. Both finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in club B&F in first year.
Richards - Chaplin Richards AA... Chaplin's done nothing yet.
Kennedy - Grigg Kennedy much tougher. Most would tip him to win a brownlow before Grigg. Super coach has Grigg at 453k Kennedy at 604k
McGlynn - Knights Impossible to tell because like Chaplin Knights has done nothing yet.
Morton - Edwards S. Edwards or the other? Shane has Morton covered. Aaron is an unknown quantity. Fairly comparable you would think.
Comparisons:
Rhys Shaw - Traded to Sydney for pick #46 in 2008 - Bachar Houli - Pick #3 in 2010 pre-season draft
Mumford - traded to Sydney for pick #28 in 2009. - The Mullet - Traded for pick #37 in 2011 draft
Richards - traded to Sydney for picks 19 & 51 (dempsey & Lonergan) in 2005 - Chaplin - Free Agent
Kennedy - traded with Ben McGlynn to Sydney in 2009 for picks 39, 46 & 70 - Grigg - straight swap for Andrew Collins in late 2010
McGlynn - traded with Josh Kennedy to Sydney in 2009 for picks 39, 46 & 70 - Knights - Free Agent
Morton - traded to Sydney for pick #79 in 2011 - S. Edwards - pick #26 in 2006 national draft or A. Edwards traded for pick #74
The Tigers are clearly on top with regards to what was paid for players. Sydney however didn't give up any high draft picks.
All up they gave #19, 28, 39, 46, 46, 51, 70, 79 all outside of the FA period. Nobody can argue that Sydney know how to deal. Tigers know how to find a bargain also.
