we arent really good enough to rest a lot of players against anyone.we could do the odd one or two.
look at it this way if we are good enough to win by 100 points that will be as good as a rest for the players. 100 point floggings are ultimately training drills.
the only thing im concerned about is we have pretty much had our best 22 available all yr apart from the odd player like grimes. we have 3 games to get games into him and the likes of tuck.
the question i ask is what if we dont have jack riewoldt or big ivan or steve morris who can perform their roles to a decent level.
id be looking at resting ivan who is irreplaceable as we have no replacement for him.give orren a game and give him some support. if ivan goes down we need orren up to speed. of course it depends on who orren is up against perhaps we could play big ivan in a f/p and play orren most of the day in the ruck thus giving ivan a rest of sorts.
give mcbean a game this kid should have had 4 or 5 games by now. if jack goes down he is the most likely replacement.
we are screaming out for a quality sml forward why not mcdonough at nahas expense.
ultimately we ask what do we do without the better players and have we done enough to prepare the obvious replacements as far as game time and development goes.
imo the answer is no if injuries hit we are in strife.
