For all those calling to rest Gawn forget it - like literally our most important player. There is time for a rest two weeks in fact once we hit finals.
He can have a week off between our first game and another week off if we win the qualifying final that's plenty of rest!
As far as the team goes they should be going with what works - clearly Grundy doesn't unfortunately but it throws out our whole team when he is in.
Playing Tommo down back does so keep him, a fit T-Mac would be amazing also but not getting my hopes up.
Get Spargo in - i know he is super frustrating but also super important for us to link up.
Need to make sure our pressure rating is right up there - thats what won us 2021 we were miles ahead of the others now its alot more even and others are playing that intense pressure for nearly as long as us.
A lumbering Grundy doesnt help the pressure at all, Petty did and a fit T-Mac could as well but if not him it has to be Smith down there at least he will apply maximum pressure when the ball hits the deck
