Gags and the team got an A+ for last years recruiting.
Each one of the new guys basically played every game for which they were available.
That is 5 team places each week that were not available to anyone else on the list.
So who missed out?
Who are the five players that were forced out by The Fabulous Five?

What happened with Pierce in the end?
Injuries?
I thought he looked quite promising

Re: Who are the five players that were forced out by The Fabulous Five?
Good get.
And an upgrade at each position.
This is a clear indication that we traded into making finals.
(Including Ratts for The Cho).

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Re: Who are the five players that were forced out by The Fabulous Five?
I would have thought that Max King was the one that forced Bruce out of the team.
He may not have been drafted or traded last year, but he acted like a draftee.
Coffield and long are keeping Savage and Roberton out.

King was probably part of the reason we let Bruce go. We wouldn't be able to fit them all in. Made the right call.

Gone from a club champion 4 times best and fairest winner to a "fringe" player with the cats.

Re: Who are the five players that were forced out by The Fabulous Five?
So that makes any or all tradeable. The truth will come from whether any club is interested. I suspect that Richo, Bains, Elshaugh hung their hats on the wrong hooks. The exception being Roberton, as he'd be best 22 easily without what happened. So who in our current best 22 has benefited from that?shanegrambeau wrote: ↑Wed 07 Oct 2020 1:29pm And their success helped keep out

Still reckon that last season's trading was the best ever behind Kernahan/Bradley/Dorotich/Motley. That's a hell of an achievement.
