Big difference to Luke B seeing what's on our list, as to a team in its premiership window.
They travel basically 8 hours every 2 weeks( sometimes more) and are an ageing list.
We'd be doing the same thing if the circumstances were the same, and he's lost a couple of flags not because they rested players in the last round . I think he's record is pretty good in qualifying finals after resting players.

I like Carlton's response :-

Firstly, that is *!*!*!*!ing awesome.

Secondly, absolutely no issue. They are being up front, no other results or matches will be affected, and as others have rightly pointed out, they have earned the right to do this by virtue of their dominance through the year.

As for Barrett, he's a great journalist and is arguably the best connected person in football, but his suggestion that Freo should forfeit the match was given the derision it deserved by Caro and LoneWolf.

Barrett says Freo should forfeit.

Can he be merged with outer space somehow?

He can join up with Ross Oakley.
He's been out there since 1989.

We don't need the radical resting of players being considered by the Shockers and Norf

North is the big one. They're currently 8th, if they lose to Richmond they stay 8th and Richmond probably stay 5th
If North, Brisbane & Adelaide win, Adelaide gets a home final against North

Like most I think it is fair enough seeing no results are impacted. But what would the AFL do if Port were one win ahead of where they are now? A win with a likely big percentage boost might have bumped the Kangaroos out of the eight should they lose to Richmond. Not a good look and extremely unfair in my opinion.

Who's to say some young Docker may not surprise and put his hand up to keep his spot the following week?

Good pint.

And it holds down the other end i.e. the second last team could "rest" weary players last round to get the spoon and the first draft pick.

Is there such a thing as a bad pint?
