Absolutely in finals we were very good at getting players on the park. Lynch missed the first final in 2020 in Brisbane and Dusty was very underdone having not played for weeks. Soldo had an ACL in 2020 as well and of course Rance's ACL in 2019, Higgins with his operation, Stack hurt himself just prior to finals and Graham's shoulder from the prelim.I think you're right there, I was probably thinking more of the latter part of those years where we kept all of our important players on the park and fit especially during finals.
In 2017 Reece Conca was injured I think (?), not an automatic start anyway and Griffiths with his concussion issues. Caddy strained his hammy 3 weeks out from finals down at Kardinia Park but made it back.
That's about all I can think of.
Edit: I think Dusty was not 2020 but 2022 when I think about it ....
