Changes vs North Melbourne

[Partridge]

Conditioning against top class AFL ruckman is far better than beating up on skinny, has-been or hack VFL ruckmen.

Yeah, I guess it's a trade-off. Smaller physiques but longer game time in the VFL, against bigger bodies and more rotating off the bench in the seniors.

Yep, definitely a trade-off.

Another trade-off is the benefit of getting three "AFL fit" ruckmen against the detriment of carrying three dinosaurs in the senior line up. With the position we are in, the club has (rightly, IMO) consider that any detriment will likely be outweighed by the possible benefit.
