It was in incredible effort this year from GWS considering they lost the most amount of games to injury in the AFL.
Normally the club with the biggest injury list misses the finals completely. They made the top four. I can't remember that ever happening before.
Shaw, Shiel and Ward played all 25 games, Davis,Tomlinson, Wilson, Scully, Kelly missed 1, Corr and Williams 2, Patton 3, Mumford 4, Lobb 5, Haynes, Cameron and Greene 6(includes suspensions). 16 players 19 of 25 games. *<19 Smith, Hopper, Coniglio, Kennedy, Griffen, Deledio, Buntine. Whitfield doesn't count as ASADA suspension
Top16. Not sure anyone on their list is ahead of these. That's a pretty good settled team with important players rarely missing a game. Lots of players 17-30 injured but not that bad either.
In 2016 the Bulldogs had only 14 players play 19 or more of 26, *<19 Murphy, Jong, Johannisen, Wallis, Suckling, Hamling, McLean in 2014 Hawthorn had only 15 play 19 or more of 25. *<19 Gibson, Mitchell, Stratton, McEvoy, Rioli, Lake, Sewell.
Of the three groups <19, Hawthorn miles ahead and still won 17 games.
