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.
