Of those who are injured, who are we most reliant upon or have missed the most?

Nankervis

The follow up pressure he provides at the contest is enormous

Agree. We were destroyed in the ruck for the most part last night.

Rance second, Jack third.

Rance first for me. The defence is very disorganised without him. He seriously is playing 2-3 roles because he knows when to peel off and intercept as well as launch attacks from defence

 nank close 2nd. His tackles are bone crushing and he’s a good kick too!

Winning but also just knowing we will be close. 
Last 2 weeks we have had no chance of winning.

Jack for me... especially when our small forwards are so reliant on him.
We are so one dimensional without him.

Score of 73, 62, 37, 68 over the past 4 weeks won’t win you many games and Jack could improve that dramatically if he was playing. He improves players around him too.
Just so smart.

I still think a backline of
Grimes  Astbury  Vlastuin
Stack  Broad  Short
is a top 4 backline, especially this year.

Rance a massive loss but IMO Jack is harder to replace.

Where do we start  :P.

Jack and Rance for obvious reasons as our two main bookends. Nank another obvious one as our No.1 ruckman.

Lambert has been a big loss in the midfield. We've been totally smashed in the guts since he's been out.

The midfield is missing his composure.
