Finals football is tough. We are attempting to go deep into September and there may well be casualties on the way. We were lucky not to lose Hanners and Rohan on Saturday.We are already covering for Reg very well.
Teams that can keep all their cattle on the field have a huge advantage but so do teams with ready made replacements . Can Hawthorn replace both Buddy and Roughhead with players as good? I say "No Way"
What if we are left bringing in replacements late in the Finals.Could we replace a forward or back with someone of equal talent? I say "Yes"
If White,Spangher or Reid get injured(God Forbid) we can bring in Mike Pyke who from all accounts is burning the track at training.Across the midfield we have the experienced and re-invigorated Jetta.In the back lines I am hoping Reg comes good or else we could use Meredith.
In ruck we have Seaby if Mummy goes down.
I would argue that we are well set up for a tough Finals programme and well resourced with reserves we should see us go deep into September.
