Lappin, Voss, Chris Scott, Aker, Black, Power, Bradshaw, Headland, etc...plus Lynch, Johnson, Molloy and Brown via the Fitzroy connection. Astute pick ups e. G. Pike, White. All very strongly self motivated, driven types. Potential plus effort = success.
Mal Michael was a very good pick up as well.
Lynch was at Brisbane a few years before Fitzroy folded, Johnson was a gun but the only one of the four Fitzroy players which Brisbane were allowed to take to make a lasting impact, Molloy played his best football after moving to Collingwood and didn't play in any of the Brisbane Premiership teams.
By and large their success was built on the draft.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
