Interesting article on afl.com.au about the Suns , once Lynch leaves they will just have just seven players remain from the original 2011 list.
Harbrow, Rischitelli and Day will know their fate soon, while May, Swallow, defender Rory Thompson and ruckman Tom Nicholls all have another 12 months.
8 seasons in and they might have to start all over again.

interesting
how many more on your list remain as well ?
Suns took 8-10 players from other clubs so 40 + under the draft, concessions etc and only 7 + Lynch less 8 or so other lists means about 30 or so they drafted are all gone already , I guess they would have hoped half of them would still be their and in their prime.

so having seen how many Sins remain from their original list , I thought I would look at the Giants list for 2012
49 players on their list
14 remain (Buntine , Cameron , Coniglio , Davis , Greene , Haynes , Kennedy , Mohr , Patton , Reid , Scully , Shiel , Tomlinson , Ward)
14 at other clubs in 2018 (Adams , Bruce , Bugg , Frost , Hampton , Hombsch , Hoskin-Elliott , Miles , Phillips , Smith , Townsend , Treloar , Tyson , Wilson)
21 gone
Aylett , Brogan , Clifton , Cooyou , Cornes , Farley , Downie , Edwards , Folau , Giles , Golds , Growden , McDonald , O'hAilpin , Palmer , Power , Schulz , Segrave , Sumner , Ugle , Whiley

In 1975 (the last season of one umpire on the field) there were 138 games played and 10,266 Free Kicks paid for the season.
That's an average of 74.3/game.
In 1992 (the last season of two umpires on the field) there were 172 games played and 8,734 Free Kicks paid for the season.
That's an average of 50.8/game.
In 2018, up to the end of Round 19, there were 162 games played and 6,782 Free Kicks paid for the season.
That's an average of 41.9/game.
The extra umpires were supposedly introduced to pick up the Free kicks that were being missed, yet less and less Free kicks are being paid.
In 2018 there have been 21,066 tackles laid so far, that's an average of 130/game. Holding the ball/incorrect disposals Free Kicks are running at around 15/game. That means that just over 10% of tackles are getting the full reward.
The Coaches have been saying it this season, and I agree with them. Instead of setting up Netball type zones, just officiate the rules we have properly. More Free Kicks and less stoppages will spread the congestion, it's that simple. Stop letting guys just hang onto the ball in tackles, and force a ball up. They will soon move it on, or be penalised, and either way, it's better than a stoppage.
Why can't the AFL see this, instead of introducing 6/6/6 zones, or 18 metre goal squares?
130 tackles/game, for 12-15 Free Kicks, and the extra umpires are there to find previously missed infringements?!
Give me a break! (the game is being administered by monkeys!)
