Richmond should rest 22 players in Round 23

[Dyer'ere]

Unless Sydney rests 22. ;D

As it stands we can't make the four. And if our list is fresh and sound it doesn't matter who we play or where in the first week of the finals. (Although I rate Adelaide hardest to beat by a long way.)

The big disadvantage of finishing outside the top four is missing the chance of a week off. Let's have one anyway.

We have to do this. Rest 22.

+1

Totally agree... Definitely rest all the spine. Nort clearly don't want to win as they see us as the easiest team to play against in the finals

North are resting 8-10 players...tigers backed into $1.05 this morning!

Deledio would be the only bloke I would rest if it came down to it.

Sub him earlier when we're 10 goals in front

Newman had scans, would you risk him on a fast desk at Etihad ?? (I know many want him out either way)

Maybe Dea gets his first game for 2015

Play a "designated hitter" in case North go the knuckle.

Farewell game for Arnot?

It's bull***t even though we are higher on the ladder that the 8th placed team can afford to rest players

How did we go against WCE after the bye?

Our players don't need a rest

We are going to beat North this week and in the final
Who they put in the jumper isn't going to matter.

Goldstein was going to miss anyway.

So North throwing the game means Adelaide can't get a home final, so they should jump on board and play their seconds too, right?

Assuming we and bulldogs win now....Hmmmmm you thinks brothers scott had a quiet word....wouldn't even matter if geelong beat adelaide nothing changes in positions. Adelaide ok miss a home final but can rest players too.

In all seriousness we should pay due respect to North's decision given it's their third Etihad game in a row. They know the ground better than we do, how hard it is on the players etc.
