Agreed on your predictions, this month we are due for ripping of tendons, tanking, closure of the season entirely, bankruptcy, the second coming of Jesus, a Zombie Apocalypse and Armageddon. Brace yourself.
There is ABSOLUTELY no way there can be a second coming of Jesus as we haven't seen the first coming of Jesus. But the rest of what you say is definitely going to happen this month.

Never met the bloke. It was a cab driver. He had a hot tip on Jesus, the Victorian Zombie exodus and Armageddon.

Couldn't have been. I met Jesus walking down Chapel St. in the 1980's. Looked nothing like him.

I hope the changes are not too drastic as we need to actually win games to stay in the final eight. The Saints are still to develop the killer instinct as we saw against North and Freo who we should have put away, and we can't drift too far from putting our best team on the field in any game.

My guess is that will start to rotate some players each game.

Like you I hope that it is not a large number against the GC as I view that as our most winnable game in the batch of 3 after the Swans.

GC
Cats
Dons

It is a balancing act.

You would not want the situation of us losing to GC with a weak team fielded, and then to Cats and Dons with stronger teams fielded.

On the other hand get the mix right then we can hopefully win against both Swans and Suns with an improved chance of also snagging one of both wins against Cats and Dons.

After the Swans game we will be on a compressed 5 day average spread for a while except at that some period we will get a bye , and so get a 10 day break.

Two advantages in cycling players through is that we keep our depth motivated, and get games into some of the younger players. We might even find that someone like Bytel is up to it.

Some players like Robbo could come in without any performance drop off. ie Robbo to rest Coffield.

Resting say Steele though will cause a significant problem for that particular game.

Also:

Most of our opponents will also be most likely be rotating players too.

Our PRO is that we have few injuries and so have more players we can rotate through, and more like for like so that we will not have to effect our structure as much.

Our CON is that we have less top end players and so when rested this will be a bigger issue for us. (ie Steele in particular)
