Maybe we can send the rest of the comp into meltdown by unleashing Higlet and Trossman after the bye
I know you're having a bit of fun there
@craig but the demands of the game have the potential to take us into a realm where players are managed along these lines.
I get the argument for continuity but the great benefit of depth is players have the chance to recover properly from injury/fatigue by not having to play a full season of footy.
Certainly last season, it didn't hurt Nank or the skipper to miss games. In fact, they both looked fresh as daisies when the finals came around.
When you've got AFL quality like Higgins, Stack, Balta, Chol, Ross and possibly Collier-Dawkins, Coleman-Jones, Naish and Aarts running around in the twos, why wouldn't you at least consider some sort of rotation strategy?
Agree, the rest of the competition would blow a gasket!
