I think we should rest Goody this week. He had shouldered a massive load this year and could do with a rest. Bring in Ross Lyon as guest coach for the week.

Joel Smith has the pace to replace Hunt. Is also taller and better.

We're going to have to carry Team Smith with A11dAtP0w3R slacking off.
Players play sore all the time. Top 4 is locked in and we are playing Adelaide. I wouldn’t be resting someone for the sake of it, but if anyone’s been carrying anything it’s a perfect time to freshen up for the cats the following week. Cats have been managing their geriatrics all season, Selwood recently. Salem was said to be carrying something earlier in the year so he could he one, TMac as I said.

The more I think about it it’ll probably be Hibb for Hunt with Rivers and Salem released up the ground.
Would like to know how bad Hunt’s ankle is.

If we beat the Crows and Cats and finish top, we most likely play Port, very winnable game with a rest before and after.
Exactly. We should be aiming for this exact scenario. So resting players probably not a great idea unless a player has massive niggles..
I don't think Goodwin wants to flirt with form. He said he wanted to build winning culture. To me sounds like he wants to go into finals winning the last four. Pretty sure this was a response to someone asking about resting players.
If we lose to Geelong in the last round I reckon we get Geelong again in the qf. The way the situation is with covid I reckon Geelong will get their way and the game will be at kp or does the mcg get their way despite no crowd.

Geez that sucks for him. Hibberd in now you'd think.
Rough for anyone getting injured this time of year. Means he could be in selection mix for week 2/3 of finals at least.
Bowey starting strong looks quite a big plus, Hibberd slots back in and we’re arguably stronger at HB.

Hibbo never should have been dropped. Anyway, best he slots into Hunts spot. His experience will be valuable come finals.

What if there wasn't a pre-finals bye... would we rest players this week?

What's the point of this hypothetical?
There is a bye. So if they don't play they could end up playing twice in 5 weeks.

Yeah anyone anywhere is great but I'd ****ing rather Port at the G than the Cats at Kardinia. No point making it harder than it has to be
The pre-finals bye was only brought in because teams that had already locked in their ladder position chose to rest players before finals.
It came to a head when Ross the Boss took the piss and rested half his side, compromising a fixture that impacted other sides.
My only argument is that if you have injury clouds, no risk in them missing this next fixture now.

On that trash show last night they were confidently saying there will be no pre finals bye this year. If that is the case, we really should start resting those that need it now.
