Graham the one possible out.

Fire away with your changes?

Don't know about anyone else but I'm not risking Prestia or Cotchin before finals. If anyone else needs a rest--Vlastuin, Edwards, Riewoldt--then let 'em get some juice back in their legs.

Why not give RCD and Samson a crack

I’d also be tempted to rest the guys with a history of soft tissue injuries i.e lynch, Prestia, cotch, balta.

I can see why they wouldn’t want to do so though with the pre-finals bye meaning anyone rested won’t have played for 3 weeks.

If no one is rested I guess the obvious change is Ross in for Graham given there was no vfl this week.

I hope we take the opportunity to rest our most important players .

Nank and Prestia would be top of the list .
Cotchin deserves a spell .

Unsure how wise a 2 week rest is.

I subscribe to cotton wool theory of avoiding injuries to a few at risk players. But in terms of 'rest' the 1 week break should achieve that. Gut feel 2 weeks rest is too much for that reason alone. But definitely can see benefit of taking liberty of playing it safe with Prestia Bank Lynch Cotch and Balta. Vlas too.

I think we will go in at full tilt.  Too risky with no footy for 3 weeks.

Agreed. Interesting Dimma mentioned Stack in the press conference and why he wasn’t available to be selected today. Think he is in their thinking :shh

I wouldn't be resting anyone. You don't flirt with form and there is a weeks break before the finals

Would only rest someone is they are playing somewhat injured.

Graham and Edwards out
 RCD and Dow in, or maybe Stack

I really doubt edwards has an injury or concern. No way would they bring him back on in the last 5mins of a 10 goal win if there was any hint of anything.

We could play 12 guys including Colina and still beat Essendon if they bring what they did today.

IN: Stack

OUTS: Graham (inj), Castagna

Based on everything we've seen around selection the last 6-8 weeks RCD is absolutely no chance of being selected
