what? no one said they're out for any finals
players missing vs West Coast are not being "rested", would've played if fit to play, end of story
You really didn't listen to Pyke a few weeks ago when he discussed the possibility about resting players did you? He said back then that we would consider it depending on results as finals would be the priority. If we needed to win this game, then Talia and Tex would play but we don't need to so they are not being played. Greenwood is being rested because of his lack of football endurance. We want him right for finals. This is smart and mature moves by our club to give us the best possible chance for the finals.

Pyke doesn't "rest", fact. those guys didn't come up, simple. if you want to believe your own story, no one is stopping you
Greenwood was rested earlier this year. He was named as an emergency for that game and didn't play the SANFL game. The exact same thing has happened here with him in that he has travelled over to Perth as one of the travelling emergencies. That fact alone proves you wrong.

Really what about when Greenwood was rested for Thommo and Gov was rested last year?
you missed earlier part of discussion, my post refers only to Talia & Walker
Pyke has repeatedly said he doesn't want to disrupt continuity & more along those lines

The Tigs wont lose to the Saints, it's a different Richmond, too much on the line at the G in front of there crowd.

So we do rest but we wouldnt rest Tex or Talia? WTF.
How gullible are you? Have a short think about if it was a final tomorrow and if Tex and Talia would be suiting up. Yes they have niggles. Yes they will be rested. Good move Don.

Nope, he said you have to weigh up the need to rest with the need for continuity. The match committee have decided that resting was the better option this weekend. There is no need to win this game.
