And I may have even missed someone not to mention Armo who is also to come back.

Re: Lefties
Hawthorn have got a few (off the top, R'head, Rioli, Hodge, Birchall, Gibson, Lewis, Smith, Suckling and they just lost Franklin and Young). Sheedy had heaps in the '80's and '90's.
Maybe there's something in all that.

My theory ( i didn't invent it - i think its fairly well accepted) is players (tackling) anticipate from a young age that a player will run on to his right and go to cover it and lefties - by going the other way often get themselves more space and evasion. Not 100% of the time of course - but over the course of a match - it does happen quite a few times. Difficult to combat.
