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.

5. Josh Bruce

Bruce had played 14 games for the Giants over the course of two years and had hardly established himself, and so a trade to St Kilda beckoned for the 26-year-old.

Fast forward to 2015 and Bruce had become one of the biggest forward threats in the game. In just his second season at the Saints, Bruce was able to notch up 50 goals, following that up with efforts of 38 and 36 respectively in the coming seasons.

The Giants undoubtedly would have wondered what could've been, and the image of Bruce lining up alongside Jeremy Cameron and co. in the Western Sydney forward line would have been a sore sight for Giants fans.
