ADELAIDE plans to rest its star midfielders in the forward pocket to help combat the rise in player fatigue

I wonder if anyone will be ballsy enough to get Sloane in SC. Could pay big dividends.

if resting in the forward pocket means they are out on the pitch more and are resting up front instead of coming off the ground than it could help if they can snag 1-2 goals a game. If they come off just as much and it means less midfield time than it will hurt them.

Not going anywhere near anyone from Adelaide except crouch if named round 1.

Cotchin rested up forward last season and had a great DT year, could be a similar story for any Crows doing the same thing.

Seems like they will spend more time on field because the idiots at AFL house keep trying to slow down the game and rotations for some bizzare reason :o

It just means they will rest forward more rarther than come to the bench

Doesn't phase me. I would prefer my bloke resting up forward trying to snag a cheap goal rather then sitting on the pine.

I meant it wouldn't effect so many people like Rocky did.
