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.
Id love a comparison to Carlton just for Andy.

Crow McGovern believed to want to leave, with preference for Victoria

Both McGovern brothers are looking to move clubs at the end of the season. But, while all the attention is on out-of-contract Eagle Jeremy, it’s understood that Crow Mitch will attempt to break his contract at the end of the year, as he tried last year.

Fairfax Media can reveal the 23-year-old was seeking to move clubs in October despite agreeing to three-year contract extension in late August, feeling that Adelaide short-changed him in the deal.

"It’s believed McGovern agreed to the Crows’ deal based on the fact the club said it had no more room in its salary cap.

The Crows then signed Bryce Gibbs from Carlton in a deal in which the Blues snared two first-round draft picks and Gibbs was handed a deal worth more per season than McGovern."

I've read enough utter shite about Port that I'm not necessarily going to take something as gospel just because it was published by a newspaper, but if that bit is true, it's pretty dodgy.

Mitch McGovern wants to break his contract and leave the Crows. Apparently ****** off that club told him they had no money when he signed his contract yet then paid Gibbs the big bucks. Apparently wants to return to Melbourne. So many chicks falling out of the nest.
Hes from WA. The move to Melbourne would be a fresh one.

Never change Adelaide. How on earth is it possible for them to get so cheap so often? They have to pay at least 95% of the cap ffs.

Well come on they have to pay the big bucks for the absolute superstars of the game like Jenkins, Bryce Gibbs and Taylor Walker.

It is guys like this that are holding that team together. Can you imagine what it would be like if those superstars weren't there?

You can't go around throwing money at spuds like Sloane or McGovern just to keep them happy.

If true, what an utterly shit thing for them to do. Even for them that's just really shit.

It's all falling apart for them now. They're staring down the barrel of losing Sloane, Lynch and McGovern in one year, plus any others we don't know about. If they lose McGovern, they won't be getting his brother over here either. They may be rebuilding as of next year.

What fresh hell is this. Ignoring BTs numbers here.

Basil Zempilas is the weirder one. Like, I don't personally enjoy BT's schtick, but I can understand the appeal to those that do. Basil on the other hand has all the charisma of a doorknob.

Perhaps Fages and their management treat their own players with as much disdain as they treat their customers. The Roovolution is turning into a Poovolution
