Wow I didn't know we'd lost so many players. I must have been living under a giant rock for the past 4 years.

dont forget danny sullivan, crouch and hollingsworth

Thanks for letting me know what, I thought those players were still at our club :shock:

And I bet Brian Smith is really kicking himself that he let that brilliant footballer Steve Crouch go.

Yeah, it's a long list, but the only player that I was disappointed to see leave, ie. were not replaced AT THE TIME by either better or equal players are:
Jamie Lyon (I'm assuming he's gone)
PJ Marsh (if he'd stayed, we never would have had to put up with Mcf**kup)
Clinton Shifcofske (I still reackon he's the safest fullback in the league and the best defender. How can you forget that great tackle he put on a runaway Robbie O'Davis during the semis, picking him up, carrying him then putting him over the sideline!).
Ian Hindmarsh (a machine, just like his brother)
Jason Cayless

Others that weren't mentioned in that list were (other than retirements):
Jim Dymock
Jason Smith
I would loved both of them to have stayed at least 1 more season.

Honourable mention (players that I was sad to see go, but there were either better players coming through or had passed their used by date) are:
Michael Buettner
Andrew Ryan (had a shocker of a last season with us though)
Stu Kelly (where would he have played?)
Jason Moodie (a very good winger for us for many years).

I guess what I'm trying to say is yes, we have had a lot of player turnover, but with the exception of a few, there was a very good reason for it - they were replaced by better players.

If your going to have players like Kane Cleal and Kirk Renoldson why not chuck in Joel Clinton?
