Even during our glory years we never had more than 5 ex-AFL players in our squad; very different to the 14 Norwood miraculously fit under their (nonexistent) cap.

Why don't our players ever come back to us from the AFL? Not happy!

A few that come to mind that did; Sansbury, Obst, Hannath, Thomas, Nason, McAdam, Platten Wilson, Faulkner, Mckinnon, A Varcoe and Healy

(Adelaide/Port Listed; Schell, Symes, Steinberner, Moss, Ware, M Westhoff, Lee, Schwerdt (may have retired) Hocking?

Those that may have come back and left or just left: Tongerie, Cook, Calquohn, Glenn, Giles, Cotton, Mckinnon, Callinan, M Westhoff, Obst.

Have we missed too many?

Never got too many from other clubs. I can only think of McIntyre (waste of time from Sturt). Hoskin and Butcher different circumstance.

Sansbury went to Queensland, Obst to North Adelaide, Nason to Glenelg then returned, McAdam & Platten came back a few years too late and played 1 season only, Hocking to West Adelaide.

Port listed Conway & Giles to Sturt, Cotton to Norwood.
Crows listed Jack Osborn to Sturt and Josh Coulter to North Adelaide.

It is a fairly long list and an ongoing occurrence, I'm not sure how it compares to other clubs.

Add to that, half of the last 10 B & F winners have left the club prematurely. O'Sullivan, Sansbury (already mentioned), O'Hara, Jansen & Holman the latter 2 Holman drafted and Jansen to N Melbourne as player/coaching assistant in VFL.

Sam Colquhoun = Sturt

Josh Glenn = Norwood.

Because we have a salary cap

You do now, doubtful in your glory years.

We will have a pile of room next year if all the players said to be leaving eventuates

You do realise No one believes that bs probably because it’s so obvious

Plenty of legitimate ways to pay over the cap. You guys should try it sometime. It happens in all forms of sport

Legitimate ways to vote doesn’t make it right!!!

Francou coaching Sturt.

That was a quick process then as the interviews only just commenced.

Well if he is an applicant may as well shut the book, would be a walk up start one would think

I hope not, TRB. He’s done his nuts, if he is.

I dunno. I like to see Booney **** himself up from time to time.
