How many did Ross use this season? Aside from the port dead rubber... Maybe 28-30 players..? From what 40 + rookies?
Clearly they all just weren't good enough to push up for senior selection.
I guess we will recycle a few de-listed guys to 'play their role'
Every list aside from GWS & GC who are filled with 1st n 2nd rounders effectively have 4-6 speculative picks that hope will push up. Ours weren't good enough.
That's what 20% of the list change? Massive
Just to be technical, there were 6 players that played in the 'resting' game that would otherwise almost certainly not played:
Ballard, Duffy, Blakely (probably would have played earlier but for injury), Smith, Hughes and Grey. Take those away, we used 32 players for the year. That's equal lowest along with Sydney and Adelaide. Hawthorn used 33. Here's the list (in order of players used):
Gold Coast 41
Essendon 41
Carlton 40
Brisbane Lions 40
Western Bulldogs 40
Melbourne 39
St Kilda 38
GWS Giants 38
Richmond 38
Fremantle 38
Collingwood 36
Geelong 35
Port Adelaide 35
West Coast 35
North Melbourne 34
Hawthorn 33
Adelaide 32
Sydney 32
And yes I'm bored.
