Preparing Players for Finals
« on: July 01, 2013, 07:49:08 PM »
With Maric under a cloud again having already missed a game or two this season, Vlastuin with soreness, Tuck coming back, Grimes still a few weeks off and who knows what else.

Do we start preparing for finals by rotating a few around or resting some as we near the finals or do we start now....or do we just go full steam ahead?

The Pies managed their players very well under Malthouse as did the Hawks, Swans and Cats.

Once we have 13 wins we can worry about preparing for finals

Still 4 wins away  ;D

We will get there, no point going in with a list carrying injuries, might be a bit early with the thread but it will have to happen at some stage.

Reckon we're already doing it.  If we were borderline and the footy dept weren't confident then I reckon Eevarn and Floss would have played and Tucky would possibly have come straight back in also.
