Would have thought game time for Graham this weekend would be advantageous?
They might see him as being to important to risk? A good chance to freshen up if nothing else.
Also, I would think the club has worked hard on developing a program for dealing with the bye week. They might prefer to have all players likely to be playing in the first final against Geelong on the same program, rather than some players doing something different.
I don't know, just speculating.
