Brownlow Medallist
We’re currently 2 games and a fair chunk of % ahead of fifth and the way the seasons shaking out, as long as we don’t finish 3rd, week 1 of finals is in Melbourne so I think we need to give serious thought to player management and number 1 on that list for me is Grundy.
If he plays like that at any point in September we’re in trouble and whenever he’s struggled this year he’s been under an injury cloud (Rd 1 his toe, late v Freo his ankle and v Gawn). Coming up against the Bulldogs and English is an opportunity to give him a solid 20 day break from senior footy and expose Lynch to senior footy if we choose that path.
In: Lynch/ Reid and Elliott (if fit)
Out: Grundy and Varcoe
The next on the management hit list for me are Stephenson, Pendles, Crisp and Sidebottom as the likes of Elliott, Shaz and Adams transition back into the 22.
