A list so stacked with talent and a multitude of young Victorians, it's tough to retain all of them.

GWS have been no stranger to that concept over the years, and have had to deal with a range of exits - some of whom have gone on to bigger and better things after seeking greener pastures elsewhere.

Here are the 10 best players that GWS have lost since their introduction into the competition.

8. Jack Steele

Originally a GWS academy player, Steele could only manage the 17 games in his two seasons with the Giants, and eventually sought a trade at the end of the 2016 season.

The 23-year-old has shown the Giants what they're missing out on, showing his grunt and pressure within the Saints midfield and amassing impressive numbers as well.

Steele came third in the Trevor Barker voting last year.
