Hawthorn had a very bad run no questioning that. But to say Port didn't have is just ridiculous. Only having 1 ruck men available for majority of the year, missing our 2 key defenders and missing some of our best midfielders all at the same time, if that's not bad I'd hate to see what extremely bad is to you then.
Games played including finals in brackets :
Ebert (25) Minor round
Gray (25)
Cornes (25)
Wines (25)
Westhoff (25)
Schulz (25)
Broadbent (25)
Pittard (25)
Boak (24)
Lobbe (24)
Wingard (24)
Polec (24)
Hombsch (24)
Jonas (22)
Hartlett (22) 20/23 3 games
White (22) 19/23 4 games
Trengove (20) 19/23 4 games
Carlile (20) 18/23 5 games
Monfries 16/23 7 games
Moore - Didn't play the first 10, then played and broke a collar bone and missed 7. Was in our team at the final siren in the PF.
Redden, Renouf ( back up ruckmen ) 0 games each. Sam Colquhoun who played against Geelong in the SF in '13 missed the year with a knee. Probably plays ahead of Impey.
Who's being ridiculous?
So you could say we missed players of our best 22 for, season, season, 3,4,4,5,7,7.
Redden, Colquhoun, Hartlett, White, Trengove, Carlile, Monfries and Moore. So you could say 8 first choice players missed 10% or more of the season.
Not terrible, not ideal either.
