As a side note: The Poster's section from last season has been replaced with amount of posters voted into the Top 60 of the S25 MVP count. A more accurate account, however as you'll see, it's not without it's flaws.
I also considered a rookie 'active' if they posted more than 5 times in the first round. If I do a mid season update, the average will need to be at least 10 to be considered active.
Now without much further ado, let's have a look at the moves and recruitment from this most recent off-season.
34 Rookies Brought into the comp. 11 by the Bears themselves, none by the Hawks or Royals. Of the 34, 15 managed to post more than 5 times in Round 1, with 10 of them going above that (some going well above.)
26 Players moved clubs, which is up on the 19 from last season. The Furies lost the most with 5 players moving clubs, while the Gumbies recruited the most with 5, with the Hawks and Bombers not far behind on 4 each.
6 players returned from the wilderness, while 9 players avoided delisting by officially stating they were retiring. 33 players didn't avoid that fate and were unceremoniously dumped by their respective teams.
Most teams kept roughly the same amount of Top 60 posters in their line ups, although the Furies didn't replace the two that they lost and were clearly the biggest hit.
Next: Team overviews.
