With the recent additions of players like Langdon, Tomlinson, May, Hibberd & Melksham, I was thinking about our best (top 10) traded in or recycled players. Here’s a quick top 10 but in no order. 
 

Brett Lovett

Jeff Farmer

Brian Wilson

Jeff White

Peter Moore

Laurie Fowler

Garry Baker

Peter Rohde 

Darren Bennett

Carl Ditterich

My apologies to Stephen Icke, Alan Jarrett, Clint Bizzell, Guy Rigoni, Bernie Vince & Brent Moloney.  
 

My eligibility was min 50 games and I can only cover from 1973 onwards.  

 

 

 

 

brett lovett was a supplementary or under 19s at hawks, yeah?

i don't think of him as recycled, and neither do i with farmer - they didn't play senior footy for any other club before ours i don't think...

a few of those listed are before my time, so i'll go:

brett lovett would be my #1 if he was considered 'recycled'

jeff white

brian wilson

peter moore

bernie vince

clint bizzell

peter rohde

darren bennett

anthony ingerson

brent moloney

peter vardy at #11 who comes in if lovett isn't 'recycled'

added lovett with a proviso

Agree Peter Vardy, and also another goal scorer Ricky Jackson,  were handy imports.  
 

Farmer was traded to Dees for Phil Gilbert. We got the better of the deal but Freo grabbed him back of course. Would have loved The Wiz to have been a one club man.

Lovett played with Hawks under 19s and Reserves. But they had a strong team in 85 and he was cut.  Certainly a good pickup and probably my #1 recycled player. 
 

I do like to addition of Ingo.  Ingerson was a great bloke, reliable defender, good mark and spoil.  Just the kicking was a bit awkward.

Steven Icke gave us wonderful service and even won a B & F I think.  

Totally agree with this choice. Clint Bizzell too. He was a fearless defender. I worked with Clint Bizzell's mother in law. She thought he was a lovely chap. Don't know what she thought of 'our ' Clint Bizzell !!

 

 

Stephen Powell played 2 fantastic seasons for us (2000 and 2002) and is the exact type of midfielder we lack today - a midfielder that kicks goals. Kicked 32 goals in 2000 including 7 over the prelim and GF fortnight.

Left the club at the end of 2002 over a finance dispute I believe, which was poor management by us.

Can’t make the list due to his brief tenure, but he was fantastic player that was picked up on the cheap (both for us and then St Kilda).

From an early post worth putting back up for this topic. Best recycled players that had to have played at least one game for another VFL/AFL team before being traded to the Dees since our last Premiership.

Great additions.

What memories. Mark “Jacko” Jackson was sensational.

Powell. Loved his 2000 prelim v North.

Marcus Seecamp also to be remembered.  

I thought Craig Turley played a fantastic first 12-13 games. Would have been close to winning the B&F.  Only played the one year and battled on in the last half of that 95 year. Ended up retiring through injury. Came to us when he was 30-31 so was over it by the time he arrived. Sad to see chopper Lovell swapped out. Chopper was a great servant through the late 80s/90s under Northey/Balme.

Thanks Bucket. A great compilation.  Great memories. 
Players like Brett Lovett, Mark Jackson, Ricky Jackson and Guy Rigoni all were juniors at other clubs and discarded.

You left out Nick Pesch

Scotty Thompson (harder to predict)

No love for Alan Jarrott?

My son 'met' him recently when Alan was driving an Uber.

A top bloke apparently.

In the recycled team , Alan Jarrett should at least be ahead of Chris Dawes.  I hope people remember Dawes as another “golden” acquisition that turned into aluminium sheeting.  

 


No love for Crackers Keenan? He both started with us and was picked up again by us.

And Big Carl Ditterich, who was picked up by us twice!

Agree. What characters the Dees had over the years.
Jacko. Crackers. Carman. Ditterich. Crosswell. 

Big Carl made everyone walk taller on the field. There was no easy kicks in the 70s and he put the fear into every opposition.  Dees should have held the course with Carl. Definitely in my recycled best 22.

As great as Clarkson is as a coach, surely we can come up with a better player!

Forgot the great (self proclaimed) Heritier Lamumba.  Started in fire and justified his trade in season 1 but his concussion at the start of season 2 ended his career.  His arrogance towards others didn’t help.

One of the gutsiest players I’ve ever seen.

Same with Clint Bizzell.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
