Various reasons. Peters left because he is a keeper and was behind Harry Nielsen, Warren was captain of our Premiership Ray Sutton team and did not want to leave, but keepers do that a bit for opportunity.
Harry then a season later was offered A Grade keeper at Woodville, was going to be in our B's, so reluctantly left. Ironically, this meant Warren was then stuck in B's as keeper for couple of years (now playing as batter only when Harry plays).
MCDowall was happy playing B's, we wanted him to push for A's, but he said he did not want to. Woodville targeted him this year as needed another bowler, so he ended up leaving.

So all different reasons, chuck in four or five others at other clubs now, but you can't fit them all in to your A Grade side.

Does not help Woodville, cant play finals, would need absolute miracle with four teams needing to lose as favourites.
We get it Eagles2014, you don't like Woodville.
When one of WT's 'gun' junior players makes 200, let us know.
In fact, when West Torrens win another game let us know - it's been about 5 months hasn't it?
Would have been a great game to watch obviously a very good wicket over there.
A couple of teams (Glenelg, Kensington
Just stating facts C Horse, they can't make finals.

Very unfortunate what the 3 clubs are going through but your a very sad and bitter little man Weagle with a strange take on the truth, we could have had 2 of them but they picked Woodville, I think a few more of your players live in other neighbour clubs zones, you surely don't help your troubled club on this forum, we get it you don't like Woodville but like many clubs they have produced some super players and like many clubs made very good players out of so called fringe players from other clubs, it's how all clubs including your club operate, if players want to leave you and become very good players elsewhere quit bitching and look in the mirror.

So you aren't stating facts.
A fact is, that a team who has won one game for the season can't make finals.
Should be a good Mad Monday at Henley, they've been planning it since November.
You supplying the drinks for that one too Eagles?

A couple of teams (Glenelg, Kensington) will be kicking themselves today.
What an amazing final round we have in store with 7 teams shooting for 3 spots.

WT develop more "gun" juniors than most clubs.
Just look at Woodville, they develop no one! Just look at the three Woodville players who have won Rising Star nominations this year, all three from West Torrens (Warren Peters, Oliver McDowall and Blake Gutsche), and chuck in Harry Nielsen and we have supplied most of their team.
