The 2 suspensions are a blessing in disguise.

Finally, a little bit of adversity for our team. This is fantastic because it will keep everyone on their toes. If any comlacency was sneaking in, it's gone now.

The 2 weeks that Zac got is fantastic. He will come back round 19 refreshed and raring to go. Hughton can replace him, no problem there. With Kosi, I would keep him out for 2 weeks as well and tell Maguie that he will be Full Forward for the next 2 weeks.

Now what we need is a close loss agaist the Bulldogs. If that happens, we will go on and win the flag, I am sure of it.

Great, players potentially dropping out of form, loss of momentum, upsetting the team balance...yeah, just what we need.

I'd be happier if all the resting forumites took a long spell from this forum...how many 'resting' threads do we need. We've seen your point about 50 times, it's narrow minded crud, now piss off.

[SainterK]

Completely disagree with your entire post Nick...all of it

It's only my opinion. If people don't agree that's fair enough. Isn't the point of a forum to post peoples opinions?

Well, not too many have agreed...haven't you been reading? It's nice you have an opinion, it's boring to see it 10 times a week, unless you've got some more to contribute give it a rest.

I don't care if someone has an opinion on resting or not resting as I don't think we should rest but who really knows what is best. The thing that gives me the s***s is that Nick ha not made a single post about anything else.

I challenged him last week to talk about anything else but he was unable to do it.

He needs to show some more credibilty in his knowledge of football before people will have any even half decent discussion with him about this.

Thanks for the advice ohwhenthesaints!, however I reckon you will be surprised at how many people may agree with me. I admit, most won't because it's easier to be on the side of the majority, but those that have balls will.

[borderbarry]

I can see Zac having trouble getting back into this team if there are no further injuries or suspensions.

You've got balls have you? Good on ya. I would have thought you're advocating an overly cautious approach to football, you ballsy guy. Have a read of the other thread on Crawf's thoughts...you've got a few resting mates there, but overall, there's a better approach to 'resting' that's been noted.

Zac will be straight back in come Round 19.

At whose expense?

Kosi was already out of form, so a couple of weeks away may do him the world of good, as it may for Zac, who isn't used to playing 25 straight games in the AFL. I expect they'll both come back champing at the bit and how much form are they going to lose in two weeks? If they do lose any, we have some easy games for them to get it back, leading up to the finals.
And if you don't like what's being written, here's a thought, you could perhaps NOT READ THEM!
And if you're calling "resting" blokes who are in need of it "narrow minded crud", it's probably done every year (except perhaps when Sydney won in 2005) and the likes of Leigh Matthews, James Hird, by the looks of it Bomber Thompson, etc, are all advocating it. Who the f*** are you, compared with them? And with the amount of game time some of our blokes had on the weekend, it's clear that some of our guys are already being "rested" (and Gardi may have been too). It's happening and is going to happen, for some/all of those who need it, one way or another.

What a freakin' legend you are, with your boring narrow minded approach...why don't have a look and see what's actually happening in regard to 'resting ' players, with increased rotations...it'd blow your mind.

It is not great for any team to have its players suspended, it's not good for their confidence, it's not good for team moral, it's not good for team coehesion...think outside the square matey.

As for not reading it...get stuffed, the forum is covered in resting rants, all saying the same thing, most from the same posters. Who do I think I am, I'm someone who likes to see balanced informative points of view argued on a public forum, not to have it overrun by clowns with an agenda and almost no audience.

There is a huge difference between confusing 'lose' and 'loose', and the letter 'P' on my keyboard not working.

[snoopygirl]

But it's working in other parts of your post.

I'll tell you who you are degruch. You are a person who can't handle someone who has a different opinion. You resort to name calling because you are unable to discuss.

Add your opinion in the Crawf's thoughts thread then, instead of bludgeoning everyone with the same thing week in and week out...even your point of view is being properly represented.

I believe you as well.

It will keep the players on their toes, the guys that come in will bust their gut or miss out on the finals. It means the if the guys that replace them play well it will mean Zac and Kosi will have to play hard and even better to get back in. It is better to have 24-25 guys in form and wanting to play than having 17 injuries and picking the only 22 available guys...

Not a bad position
