Dunno, we saw how they came back to the pack with a few injuries mid year.
2 key defenders went down, our 2 backup ruck man had knee reckons and we lost 2 guys (mainly mids) a week for 3 weeks straight with rolled ankles. Think you'll find any side that had these injuries would come back to the pack.
Hawthorn didn't.
Correct, but they had the stability of the 200+ gamers in Hodge, Sewell, Lewis, Lake etc etc to help the younger lads through. Our very young list is building towards that level of experience / cool heads and our leaders will be very much like those mentioned above in due course. Boak, Ebert, Trengove etc will be those guys in 2-3 years.
