GWS list manager Craig Cameron has left the club immediately.

The Giants say wants to join Gold Coast in a similar role.

Cameron only arrived at the Giants last year, and leaves the club less than two weeks before the NAB AFL Draft in Sydney.

Nick Daffy
The former Tiger has joined Essendon's VFL program as an assistant coach. He's spent the past 12 months at North Ballarat, but the Roosters have been booted out of the VFL. Before that Daffy, 44, coached St Albans.

John Northey
Armstrong (Adel, Syd, Coll) will coach Lara in the Geelong Football League, where 74-year-old Northey (coached Syd, Melb, Rich, Bris) will be his director of coaching. Once a powerhouse, Lara has struggled the last few years, and went winless last season.

Taylor Hunt
The 27-year-old former Tiger and Cat is set to play for VAFA side Collegians.

Rugby Australia and New South Wales Rugby Union have joined together with the rugby community in mourning Wallaby number 452, Leonard Diett, who passed away this week at the age of 78.

Diett even briefly coached Australian Rules after he was recruited by the legendary Tom Hafey to the Richmond Tigers as a defensive coach.
