With the pre season under way here is my list of clubs who have lost top 10 player for a significant part of the season and who the teams will be that will be unable to cover these players from their list
Carlton Docherty lacking depth and leaders on the field so will struggle more than usual without Docherty
Essendon Not sure on Daniher but until he is back in full training I would be concerned about his ability to impact when he comes back
Fremantle Blakely, close to top 10 on their list but with the lack of experience through the midfield his loss will hurt
Hawthorn Mitchell Enough written but not sure on what it did to the betting markets for a top 10 finish but coupled with Birchall missing I can't see them making the 8
West Coast Naitanui They seem to have a strong ruck department and it will be interesting to see how Hickey goes and also Vardy but they have covered his absence well and with a deep midfield they will be very dangerous when NN is back
I may have missed someone but these players will be sorely missed by the clubs
