Gifts That AFL Clubs Received In Recent Years
Adelaide:
When the Crows joined the AFL they got all the players in South Australia that they wanted.
Brisbane
Jonathan Brown, a huge gift.
Carlton
The Eagles were once rewarded with a "home final" at the MCG against Carlton, the Blues won that game and made it to the Grand Final.
Collingwood
Rocca didn't want to be in Sydney, Collingwood happily traded for him.
Essendon
The Bombers knew the talent that could be found with a compensation pick if the Dockers took one of their players, they made sure that happened and the Bombers were then able to land Lloyd.
Fremantle
Collingwood and Richmond sent the gift of Pavlich to the Dockers in the 1999 draft.
Geelong
The father/son rule keeps on giving, the Abletts and Scarlett among many selections for the Cats. Hawkins is their latest gift.
Hawthorn
The Hawks were lucky to get a forward from Queensland, Jason Dunstall.
Kangaroos
Longmire and Carey could have played their careers for the Swans, the Kangaroos received a couple of premiership cups after snaring those players.
Melbourne
The coaching spot there hasn't been very good but Daniher brought stability and a Grand Final appearance.
Port Adelaide
Sometimes it isn't easy to get a star player to leave their club, but the Power managed to get Wanganeen away from Essendon.
Richmond
Without the gift of the father/son rule the Tigers would be without several star players.
St Kilda
When the Saints hit the bottom in 2000 they got everything they needed to get to the top as they were gifted Riewoldt, Koschitzke, Gehrig and Hamill.
Sydney
The AFL sent plenty of gifts to the Swans over the years, and they turned the extra draft picks and salary-cap help into a winning team.
West Coast
Dean Cox in the rookie draft, and Cousins as a father/son rule draft pick, great gifts for the Eagles.
Western Bulldogs
Akermanis presented the Bulldogs with a great gift when he said he only wanted to play for them.
