The Gold Coast Suns have made a host of changes to their list since their debut season in 2011, which included some of the biggest names in the game today.
As the Suns will always be compared to fellow new-comers GWS, it may seem that the club has seen little to no success, in terms of finals appearances.
The Suns' coaching panel and board shifted names around in hope to find the perfect balance.
However, whether it be players that have fallen out of favour or players wanting to experience success at other clubs, the Suns were made to make changes to their list, wishing it would turn out for them.
In these cases, it can be argued it did not.
Here are the 11 best players to leave the Suns:
6. Gary Ablett
It's hard to work out where to place Ablett on this list, given he's easily the best player the Suns have ever had.
However, his return to Geelong hasn't been exactly how he would have liked (2018 especially), and he slots in behind a number of former captains and premiership stars.
The little master also falls down the list a little at no fault of his own, although his inevitable return to Geelong took the sting out of his loss for the Suns.
While his 2018 campaign for Geelong was solid, his 2019 season has been brilliant.
His 21.0 disposal average is his worst since 2006, although his 2.0 goal average is the best of his career, as he's become an important cog in the Cats' forward line.
Geelong have lost just one game so far this season, and Ablett is in AA form.
I think we've seen this storyline play out a few times before...
