Who will not rotate off the bench?

Featured Replies

With the limit on rotations, who will play forward or back? Which forwards will spend time in the midfield?

It is going to be interesting to see how this plays out this year, I see Brayshaw , Petracca and Vandenberg rotating through midflield and forward. Will ANB, Stretch, JKH(If he gets a game), Kent, Harmes, & Garlett play midfield?

Like the good old times where the ruck-rovers and rovers rested in the pockets.

 

Stretch is too lightly framed for the midfield just yet.

Garlett can give us something through there but I think he'd only be used when everything else has been tried.

I can't imagine JKH playing too many games unless we take a fair hit with injury.

Kent is a definite option through the middle as is Harmes.

No to Garlett, leave him to do what he does best.

Jeff had a few useful passages down in defense last NAB.

I think Brayshaw will get in the 22, & that they will play him from the bench. He was apparently out on his feet trying to impress so he may need rotations to catchup match fitness at AFL level?

Oliver I think gets a seat, & Harmes.

outa guesses for the 4th seat ?

 


I thought your question meant which players will do closest to 100% game time.

To that I would say the KPP forwards and defenders, and maybe someone like Jetta.  

And of course some of the mids and on ballers  will rotate on HFF and FP mainly, rather than on the defensive flanks.
