Griffen will hurt short term, but losing a 21 year old future captain hurts more, and losing Harbrow hurts a hell of a lot more than Highins Jones Tutt combined. I'd even throw post 2008 Cooney in as well .
You must rate Harbrow very very high as a footballer.
Opinions are opinions but the fabric of the club hurts far more when all those guys leave in the manner they did - you see ward leaving for coin and Harbrow family/coin are not surprising.
But when your captain, Brownlow medalist and three other handy types leave after all being offered contracts or being in contract it says a far deal greater more about the club than when the other two left under more reasonable circumstance.
So maybe look at impacts beyond the on field- u also need to look at impacts at what vacuum is left behind and this offseason event leaves us with a massively young list - second in Comp for avg games played.
So have the opinion u want but you are being very dismissive of what's just gone down.
a number of sides had players go to expansion clubs but not sure any can say they had happen to them what happened to us this offseason.
