Anyone's guess, some turnover is not unusual!

Crowden has certainly been the pick of the 8 recent recruits who have becoming senior team regulars,and we struggled in 2023 when he got injured late in the season and dropped from 1st to 5th.Fortunately Crowden,who has been on 1 year contracts,has been available every game this season where we’ve won half a dozen games by a kick or less,and it’s debatable whether we would’ve played finals let alone a Grand Final if he pulled the pin earlier in this season.So hopefully we don’t recruit players like Narrier and Elijah Taylor  who our previous coach in 2022 was lumbered with,and regain Sebit Kuek who we lost in the stupid MSD of that year,where we were in the top 4,and Sebit was the form forward of the competition,but hopefully he can resurrect that form if he returns,but whether he returns with the right attitude is anybody’s guess.

rl, is there any guarantee he will want to stay with us? I know he automatically returns to the Club after de-listing as does Jordyn Baker, but whether or not we can keep them is another matter. 

And no doubt, a few players will be added to the list over the off season.

The best part about Sebit OTO is the fact that he’s a 1 point player,and more importantly a player with X factor and PACE!!! which we glaringly lacked in the GF,although Sebit was taking screamers and kicking goals in that little purple patch,before the Dorkers snapped him up,my most memorable Sebit passage of play,was in the 2020 reserves GF when he made a scintillating run down the wing,leaving his grasping opponents in his wake,and after a few bounces slotted the goal from the boundary.The downside I  suppose was his attitude and training punctuality,but if we can get that right he could be a huge asset,if he chooses to return.and is worth a punt because match winners like that don’t grow on trees.

Heard from a reliable source that Schumacher is leaving the Ferals and heading back to Vic.

Premiership window could have shut without Crowden and Schumacher.
