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:
5. Josh Caddy
The former Sun struggled to find a place in the side in his debut season in 2011.
Caddy, who was pick no.7 in 2010, suffered injuries which kept him from selection until round 23 against Melbourne.
The following year, Caddy had gotten himself right and featured in every game in 2012.
The forward/midfielder averaged 16 touches a game and booted 15 goals in the process. He did receive a Rising Star Nomination in round 16 that season, which coincidentally was his first win in AFL footy.
Caddy requested a trade back home and Geelong were able to snatch him up.
He spent four seasons at the Cats trying desperately to fit into a side that always managed to make its way into September.
Caddy did manage to play most games those seasons but was given limited midfield minutes as the Cats added to their strong midfield with the acquisition of Dangerfield.
At the end of 2016, Caddy's name was used as trade bait as Deledio wanted out of Richmond. Although Deledio made his way to the Giants, Caddy still managed to make his way to Punt Rd.
2017 saw Caddy perform at his best playing in 22 games including the winning Grand Final.
The bustling forward had found his position at the Richmond Tigers and continues to prove why he's an important part of their line-up.
Since coming across, Caddy has only missed a handful of games but is a lock for their best 22.
Last year saw Caddy in the AA squad of 40 due to his 46-goal season and incredible accuracy.
