Ok, so we're guaranteed of 2 home Finals, having already consolidated top 2 spot. Round 23 is crucial in that we must rest the players with the most "niggles", and by the same token, we must play the players who we think might still make it in our best 22 or players who are possible to play in Finals should any further injuries to occur to our team.
This thread isn't about who we should be resting, but merely to focus on who we should be playing in Round 23 as backups for the Finals. Who are your preferred "backups"? State your players and state your case!
Here are my preferred backups:
1. Paul Seedsman - good speed and generally a handy accumulator of the ball. I can see him play Atkins/Cameron's role.
2. Andy Otten - like him or not, he is our most versatile player outside the best 22. He's handy because he can fill in a number of spots, should an injury occur in-game situations.
3. Kyle Hartigan - didn't see him play in the SANFL so unsure of his current form, but might be important to give him a run, should an injury occur to any of our defenders in the Finals.
4. Milera - generally a good user of the ball. If he can attack hard, he might be an X factor in the Finals. Can play in the midfield flanks as well as forward flanks.
