Some new players,

McCarty from South,
Saunders from Norwood,
Zac Diekman from Qld,
Josh Fahey from GWS.

Zac Diekman has just been signed by Kapunda (his junior club) for the 2026 season.

All our players have a club to drop back to,
they might need to go back if returning from an injury or hit poor form.

Players coming on from interstate wouldn't generally sign up for a local club.
I suspect Zac might play more at Kapunda than the Dogs.

Mark R and his team clearly working hard at this stage.
Club will be hoping that a couple of our top tier players who appear to be on the move (at least one of them to a rival SANFL Club) might have a change of heart.
Ollie Shaw may be on the move due to work in ACT.

Not sounding very positive.....

Why so many leaving?

Some might be asked to leave to make way for new players.
But the ones that have left are either not getting league games or are injury prone.
I don't know why Adams is going though, maybe he thinks he will play for Tasmania, the same as Callinan?

One of them wasn't happy that he didn't win the B&F, might leave now.
I'm pretty sure the other 4 are staying,
Presbury was starting to slow down a bit, maybe he might look to the ammos.

I would actually add Presbury Grant and Chisholm to that list but yes two of the 5 you have listed are likely to move on, but I am sure the Club will do all they can to keep them.

Monty offered big bucks to play in Mildura,
hasn't left us yet, if he does it might only be for 1 year.

Montgomerie confirmed as an in for South Mildura .
Another of the seemingly endless list of players that want out
Cant help but think if we had a different coach we wouldve had more stay .

Is that based on something you factually know about the mood in the camp or is it pure gut feel?

Thommo will probably quit at the end of 2026.

The 2026 season is sounding like it's over before it's started.

You said Probably which seems more likely to quit than a maybe.
Are there a few issues with the players and the coaching panel?
