Mihocek, Quaynor, Roughead all 50/50. Not to mention Beams, although maybe including him isn't quite right.
Beams was gone before he started and hardly had any influence last year.
Not sure why the media and many on here bang on about their injuries.
Apart from Degoery, Howe and Treloar the rest are back up players and not prime movers.
Let’s not forget we have no Charlie, no Kruezer, no McGovern, no Newman, no Jack. Add in injuries to marchbank, Cunningham Fisher etc could easily argue we have been hit worse then them. Losing Charlie and Kruezer is massive for us - I have many close pies mates and they all reckon the media is letting bucks off the hook and they don’t blame injuries alone for where they are.
