Fyfe I can understand.
Walters not so much given these two blokes will make it really hard for him to get a game.
Yeah, agree it is unlikely but it would be hard for him to say no to his chance of a flag, even if it was only a 5% chance he was in the best 23.
A lot of fringe players will be working extra hard over the preseason to lock in their spot.
I am getting ahead of myself (as we all are), but Duffield mentioned rotating/resting players through the year.
Assuming we get Pickett and Bolton, I like the idea of rotating the squad with 26 or so players, and having players like Voss, Erasmus, Fyfe, Draper, Davies, Worner, Wagner, Simpson, Reidy, Banfield rotating through the squad to ensure all the players are fresh.
At the start of the year, you may say Darcy will play 16 to 20 games, and Reidy will definitely play 3.
Pearce will only play 15 games max, and Draper and Davies play the rest of games. We need him for finals, so I would be tempted to say he only plays 10 games during the season.
Fyfe will play a max of 10 games, and Erasmus plays the rest.
Voss plays 10+ games, and Jackson, Amiss and Treacy plan to miss 3 or so game each.
If any players gets an injury or is a bit sore, they will be rested for 2 weeks to help them recover.
