Goodes- would ideally need to be subbed out in the 3rd quarter.

Reid - Wouldn't want to be relying on his body given the current state of Goodes and Tippett.

I don't think they would risk going into this game, with these three together, given their respective circumstances.

But I agree with your general sentiment that the injured players should be rested......My changes

OUT : McVeigh, K Jack, Jetta, Franklin

IN : Mitchell, B Jack, Reid, Rohan (sub),

Team:

B : Smith Grundy Rampe
HB : Shaw Richards Malceski
C : Lloyd Parker Cunningham
HF : Goodes Reid McGlynn
FF : B Jack LRT Bird
Foll : Pyke Kennedy Hannebery
Bench: Laidler, Derrickx, Mitchell
Sub : Rohan
I don't think that team would beat Brisbane. It might be better to play the strongest team then rest players for the Hawks game that's followed by the bye. At least you'd bank four points over the three weeks.
