David Sutherland - 2015-16 Brisbane Bandits
Goofy played his sixth season with the Brisbane Bandits during the 2015-16 ABL season. Apparently he retired at the end of the 2014-15 season, but was convinced to come out of retirement a day later by Bandits manager Dave Nilsson. Fortunately, that decision meant he was able to participate in the Bandits' first ever ABL championship.

Connar O'Gorman - 2015-16 Adelaide Bite
O'Gorman was born in New Zealand, lives on the Gold Coast and plays for Adelaide ... he certainly gets around. O'Gorman played his thrid ABL season in 2015-16 - his second witht he Adelaide Bite after having originally debuted with Brisbane back in 2013-14. In 2016 O'Gorman is playing with the Kagawa Olive Guyners in the independent Shikoku Island League in Japan. He certainly seems to being a bit of a journeyman, having also spent time playing in Germany and the USA, as well as representing New Zealand in the Diamondblacks.

Jimmer Kennedy - 2015-16 Canberra Cavalry
Kennedy is an American import who played with the Canberra Cavalry during the 2015-16 ABL season. Kennedy had six years of previous experience playing independent ball in the US, including playing for the Sioux City Explorers in the American Association between 2013 and 2015.
For some reason, the ABL website lists his first name as James, however everywhere else seems to refer to him as Jimmer, so Jimmer it is.
