Interesting to see that one of their promising youngsters in Adam Creeper under 18s rep 2014 is not returning for season 2016? Will Max Walters , Aaron Summers and co return?

Yep, the financial disparity and in ability to match is becoming a issue for SFFC.

They were Reserves players at SD, WP, WP & SF respectively and were then "recruited" to $ubi and yet you reckon $ubi don't recruit other sides Ressies players!

Blokes move to other clubs because they are not happy where they are just as our 2013 f&b & 2014 premiership hero hampson did...

No doubts DG but I do find it quite odd why a predominately Reserves player at clubs like Swans, South etc would then move to the club with the strongest playing list already!

you say they were recruited..maybe they just made a decision themselves to test the waters elsewhere...as DG says, it does happen you know.

Maybe they are confident in their ability to be league players given the right environment Beas. Hancock, although not a predominately magoos player, couldn't crack a game in the 2014 prelim but chose to move to the eventual premiers & became a very important part of our 2015 season & premiership.

DG Hancock played every league game leading up to that 2014 prelim.....not too sure why he didnt play that game, perhaps a disciplinary thing......left the club soon after for bigger and brighter things.

Yes Freeze Latham in 2014 is a better example.
