Now you've really broken my heart.

IThen you have maybe 1% of players who do it purely for the cash.

Interesting point - of the 8 that went to the Suns, for 7 cash doesn't seem the only factor.

Ablett - Family ties to the GC (Snr was already living there)
Bock - Opportunity with young CHBs there at the time, Adelaide seem to treat their 30+ players poorly
Harbrow - Family, climate
Riscitelli - Trade bait 12 months earlier
Brown - Ditto
Fraser - Opportunity
Krakour - It's not Port Adelaide

Brennan I'm unsure about - did he fall out with Voss? He certainly did get a huge pay rise

I think he was in the same boat with Sherman, thought he deserved a pay rise but Fevola had taken all the cash.

How many of those would have gone to other clubs if GC didn't exist?

The money needs to be big to get the big names/quality players to leave, not just those on the outer at their current clubs.

Valid point though, and I can't see anything other than money that Callan could cite.

Bock - Opportunity with young CHBs there at the time, Adelaide seem to treat their 30+ players poorly

Think he was also looking for a fresh start after the pub issue with his GF

Brennan I'm unsure about - did he fall out with Voss? He certainly did get a huge pay rise

Voss killed any sense of loyalty within his playing group when he tried to trade Bradshaw & Rischitelli

Not sure if Phil Davis had another reason?
