To my knowledge no AFL team has ever been without 22 fit players to name a team, however they might have a weakness in ruck or Tall defenders for example, due to injuries.
I might have heard this somewhere else but imagine if the Crows & Power could swap Maric & C Cornes at some point during the year. It would be mutually beneficial to both parties (if they rated the players etc...)
This would prevent gun players from being taken from the state leagues and weakening the integrity of 2nd tier comps.
Is the best idea, BUT, the salary cap would be a point that needs to be addressed. ie, C Cornes would be on a contract worth more than Maric..
