Was listening to Whateley on SEN this morning and kept listening to Maher's segement, which i usually turn off but he had Glenn Luff from champion data on and David King so listened as Luff always produces some interesting stats and stuff.
But it was Maher who brought up the most interesting stat. About 70% of the way in they started talking about the Gold Coast. Maher was his bash the Suns agenda just like the Monday footy media did yesterday. This year was always going to be unfair and tough for the suns. To play home your first game in Rd 11 would screw up any team. Imagine a WA team have to play their first 9 games on the road or Collingwood 9 games on the road would kill them.
But Maher made a good point that the Suns cant retain their players. He gave these stats;
2010-11 54 players recruited 46 have left or been delisted 8 still on the list
2012...... 9 players recruited 7 have left or been delisted 2 still on the list
2013-14 10 players recruited 5 have left or been delisted 5 still on the list
2015...... 9 players recruited 4 have left or been delisted 5 still on the list
So that is 82 players in those 6 drafts and 62 out over 8 drafts.
I looked on draftguru and in 2016 and 2017 in both years they traded in 5 players and drafted 7 for another 24 players on their list.
Ok they did start with 46 players + 6 rookies = 52 and had to get that down to 44 by 2015, so that's 8 more that had be delisted than the 16 established sides but that is a massive turnover.
They didnt give the numbers for the GWS but they aren't as bad given they actually have had less than 44 on the list for the last 2 years, but have had 2 and 3 CAT B players to take it up to 44.
