It was announced at the B&F Count for the Magpies that we was appointed Captain in season 2024.

Has that since changed, yeah?

I think Schimma is taking a stab in the dark.

Onya, Schimma

My guess would be Brooksby, but then he and Abbey just brought a house in Melbourne.

Glad to have Josh Gore re-signed at West. Quality player

I hope this isnt a sign of the future where players think theyre a better chance to get back into the AFL system by playing VFL rather than SANFL

It's not a sign of the future, it is the current.

Have had a SANFL club Footy Manager tell me directly that this is exactly what is happening.

Jackson Hately was a combination of this reason and his partner working in Victoria, but Monty is 100% this reason.

Suspect if he doesn't get picked up in 2024 then he would likely return to SA in 2025.

Don't get that, we are 2nd best comp in the country and if you perform much better chance of being picked up

The logic for the players is they feel they are directly under the eye of all of the Victorian-based AFL Clubs by playing in Melbourne and with/against VFL teams that are aligned with AFL Clubs.

Joe Haines another departure from South Adelaide. Will be missed.

He’s been a quality player for South Mr Reliable down back. A big loss

Huge loss, what experience will be left at South?

Where's he off to.

I can handle the loan scenario which has happened in the last for a small period of the season, but this makes my blood boil.

Im guessing on draft night he wears his AFC polo before he gets selected

Most significant development work in Tyler's footy journey happened 18 years ago, not sure the Eagles were present....

Haines had more in him.

Thought he would go on…. Huge loss down back …

Will miss watching his big kick from the backline and down the wings.

We are in trouble imo

To add :

Sam Ramsey from South to North

Kobe Cockshell (from under 18s - South) to Mt. Barker

Probably a bird though. A stork perhaps.

Also surprised. Always considered Haines as the type of guy that would keep playing for South while he was still contributing at league level, especially with the family ties to the club and how long it took him to become a league regular. Certainly one of our most important and influential players over the past half dozen seasons.

Broadbent, Gibbs, Haines, Heaslip, O'Neill, Rose and Sproule confirmed outs from the round 18 team. A lot of experience gone.
