dale amos, assistant coach from geelong, has left the club. joined them as vfl coach in 2008, became assistant coach in 2011. bit of premiership experience, would be a handy addition.

Another top 3 draft pick has decided to leave GWS. And I thought we had it bad. Are they at the point where they are being affected by these departures yet? At what point does it become an exodus?

there have been a few notable names that have left over the years (obviously 2015 hasn't happened yet but these guys sound likely to leave).
four top 3 draft picks all left/leaving. keep in mind gws still have list concessions until 2019, and with a larger playing list, more guys are getting less opportunity.

-----------------

GWS

2015
hampton - zone selection
plowman - #3 pick
mccarthy - #14 pick
treloar - underage recruit

2014
o'rourke - #2 pick
jaksch - #12 pick
boyd - #1 pick
frost - #1 rookie pick
whiley - zone selection

2013
tyson - #3 pick
aylett - zone selection
edwards - zone selection
adams - #13 pick
bruce - zone selection

2012
hombsch - under-age recruit
neade - zone selection

-----------------

in comparison, we've only had:

SUNS

2015
bennell - #2 pick
dixon - underage recruit

2012
caddy - #7 pick
hickey - zone selection

we've obviously done better (so far) in keeping our young talent, but gws still has a stacked list full of talented youngsters.

They have done this on purpose I can't find the article but sos mainly recruited vic boys so that when they did end up leaving it would create a bidding war and future draft picks

I did read that.
Everyone just needs to agree to not pay market price otherwise GWS will have another 20 first round picks coming

end of season clearance sale at the end of this week. i think i remember in an email to the club a year or so ago they said that the design of the guernsey was available to be changed at the end of 2015 (some contractural thing from the afl for a new club i'd imagine). obviously most clubs would do a clearance sale at the end of the season when the supplier has to come up with new designs for polos/training gear/etc., but i'm sneakily hoping they decide to go with a change.

i designed these last year at some point. i like them haha.

 

[Ben Drever]

Our jumper is pretty basic.. Nothing to exciting to it

I'd like to utilise the blue more if we could

With a bit of luck they will sack the woman that oversees the membership department. Someone has to take the blame for their poor sales, right?

feel you guys may have some input on this discovery?

Hahahaha that's awesome. Good to see they're taking on board the criticisms of members.

 

[Ben Drever]

I like the new Atlanta Hawks tops.

I'd love Gold Coast printed across the chest rather then GC.
Not sure which colours to settle on though.
Like the detail ( triangles) slightly different coloured too.
Obviously the numbers are on the back.

I don't know how I feel about this

 

[SUNS]

Unfortunately I don't believe this role equated directly to the person who most would have been referring to

Considering Harley is being traded against his will rather than jumping ship, our retention efforts look even more impressive. Also funny that of the 3 players left, 2 are Queenslanders, so the go home exodus of interstate recruits has been limited to one pea heart Josh Caddy.
