Only one (1) player that played last year has been training at Highett, and he only played in our Thirds. The other two both haven't played in four (4) years having been overseas and interstate. They all have mates at Highett (Swampy etc.) and thought it was a better fit considering their time without playing.
Come on backtoback08, you of all people must know how false rumors and innuendo can get out of hand!
The truth is that we have lost four senior players from 2009 (two have retired, two have moved on), the same number as most other clubs (if not less). That means that 25 odd other senior players are staying, so they are clearly not unhappy.
Recruiting is also going well with over 40 players on the training track most nights and plenty of new faces which is great to see. I'd say the doomsayer that posted earlier was a fair way off the mark with their information and were merely just trying to stir up a bit of trouble!
We also had 25 colts at training on Wednesday which was a huge effort considering it was 35 degrees and a few of them look more than capable of stepping up and contributing strongly in the senior side in 2010.
On Dunne.... He is heading overseas early in the year and will miss a good chunk of the season. Knox gave him an offer that we (and probably you guys too) couldn't go near matching. It will pay for his entire trip basically.
Just thought I would clear this up as I (and you) know how things like this can get out of hand!
