its not really 'tanking'

squad rotation, really, given ladder position

if you look at association football or some other sports, to play your best side every week is seen as a bit weird

Although it is highly unlikely, we are still a chance of falling out of the eight and also making top 4. I would go hard and pump Essendon, see what pans out and make the decision to rest players against North. We never beat them anyway

If anybody is sore I would consider resting a few VS Essendon, and using the sub-vest to do the same.

Also I would play Hampson VS Goldstein. Give Maric a rest. Goldstein would likely murder him anyway.

Whatever happens round 23 our final will be at the G.
The AFL would be stupid to schedule us at Etihad with two Perth finals on the cards and having the leagues number one team for crowds not maximising the G. :thumbsup

Not now. Hardwick has his team up and running and that's how it needs to stay. No experiments now ... just stay on a roll.  :gotigers

you dont stuff with form, specially leading into finals.

this idea is just bent, but considering the
op has argued constantly about going down the same path as Melbourne it is no surprise.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Listening to Sam Mitchell on on of the shoes this morning and he said there tough run into the finals last year (Freo, Geelong and Collingwood in the last 3 rounds) put them in good steed for their finals campaign. He said you realy need to be playing competadive matches at that time of year.
I think the North game will prove pivotal for us and will hopefully set up our finals campaign.

Just saw/spoke to Miles. Bloke looks sore as. Walking slowly and cradling his right arm.

Inside blokes like him could do with a rest IMO. Play Thomas instead for a week VS Dons.

We are not good enough (yet) to rest players, we need to keep a settled lineup and fine tune for September

Or to out it another way this:

you dont stuff with form, specially leading into finals.
