    Bazza's Coleman chance - Gehrig only a chance to play

    Gehrig is ojnly considered a chance to play this weekend. If Gehrig doesnt play, surely Roos will allow Bazza to keep playing until he kicks 6.

    Surely Roos will put finals consideration ahead of that.

      Surely he'll ask Bazza whether he think he needs to rest or not.

        I'm with bloods,

        Coleman or a rested/uninjured Hall for the Finals.

        I'd go for the latter, Unless of course, Baz can kick six b4 1/2 time.

          Playing w/o Baz really would change our forward structure (and probably would mean the leading defender would go on Magic, increasing his risk of injury). Okay when cruising like towards end of Roos game but not as the way to start.

          So play Baz and see if he kicks a swag. But, as I said a few weeks ago, I think Baz has been told not to even compete for the ball on the ground.

          Don't rest the kids - they need to consolidate their group play as they have for the past few weeks. But it'd be good to start Schaubs and Stewie on the bench this week to see if they could be of use if anyone goes down in the finals. (Can Schaubs ruck? He seems to be doing everything else in the 2s. And good to give Ball a rest, if anyone).

          Dempster and Vogs definitely shouldn't be dropped. I think they have a good chance of being the players that step up in the heat of finals. Stewie and Willo/Leo and Schaubs tag teaming? I'd like to see that.

              If Hall has 4 goals at 3/4 time, and Roos sits him out the last, I'll be livid.

              Hall can get injured anytime, anywhere. Hall has played about 3 or 4 years without injury. The chances as very slim. Let him enjoy the milestone which very few CHF's do.

                If I had the choice between a Coleman medal and Premiership I know which one I would choose. Pluggers coleman in 1996 didnt ease the hurt I can tell you.

                    Sure. But in 99% of cases Hall's value to the team outweighs the risk of sustaining an injury.

                    If we have the game in the bag on Saturday, there is absolutely zero contribution that Barry can make that will advance the team's cause. So in the rare situation that may occur on Saturday, Hall should be kept in cotton wool. The benefit that comes from using him is outweighed by the potential cost of an injury.

                      I say continue as is and pick the best possible team.
                      Ball has a corky and could be considered for a rest, but it is far safer to go with what's working and not stuff around with the structure than rest players and risk losing third spot.

                        When Hart was asked today whether Adelaide would rest Goodwin and Burton to help their respective injuries, his answer was "You dont mess with form". They will most likely play, as will Gehrig and McGuire for the Saints, Bruce for the Dees and numerous other half-fit stars for other teams.

                        The players themselves will want to play, so let em. Its a calculated risk, that can be minimised by extensive rest during the game.
