One player leaves for no reason.
When you have 6 leaving for "no reason" the reason is less about what they are going to and more about where they are going from IMHO.
Ive only seen a mass exodus a few times from football clubs, and you can bet your bottom dollar it had little to do with coaches, players, relationships, and opportunities and more to do with the direction the club was taking the project and what players believed.
Sure some got some money and left, others went because they wanted to follow their mates, but you dont look elsewhere if you're happy where you are.
While six players leaving over a couple of years is hardly a "mass exodus", you can bet your bottom dollar that they were enticed away by more lucrative offers. Take Lucy McEvoy for example, there's no way that she would up stakes and move to Sydney to play for "no reason". If she had returned to Geelong, "no reason" or "lifestyle" might just cut the mustard.
Breann loves playing footy and loves the club, warts and all. It seems to me that she hasn't taken too much notice of why some of her teammates have jumped ship. The girls that have stayed - Darcy, Kez, Bre, Gab and Abbie - and the girls that are relative newcomers seem to be very tight and committed to the club. I don't think that has changed all that much since last season.
