It probably depends a bit who is playing number 1 ruck.

If it's SDK then it's much easier to play Edwards 60% game time and SDK 40% in the ruck and the rest elsewhere to get Edwards a debut.

It it's Conway that becomes much more difficult.

I sort of think if they rate him they'll find a way to get him 1 game though.

Potentially yes because sdk can play multiple positions. But it would be hard to fit Edwards in on low TOG as it will affect whoever we use as the 2nd ruck a lot and require versatility.
 
Potential free agents? They would see a club that wants to win and want to be part of it. And as for the locker room, sure they want to celebrate the player, but if it isn't on the field, they will find a way. You are not a player, you are a fan, so the perspective is different. The locker room want to win, they're not busting a gut through the summer and the season, just to so a colleague can rack up a stat, even a beloved colleague they would walk over broken glass for.
Do you think anyone thinks any less of Brenton Sanderson and Steve Hocking because they finished 1 game short of 200 games. Do you think they have any regrets or even care?
Oh yeah, just like North Melbourne, out with the old in with the new. Worked out great for them.

I pondered questions to consider you projected your opinion as facts. Maybe those players do care, you asked them have you?

Culture is important to a club and how they treat a player is something others look at.

How do you think the locker room would feel if a player as well liked and respected as Duncan was left stranded in the 290s? What message does that send to potential free agents?

Maybe they wouldn't care maybe they would, but clubs need to add that to their analysis when deciding on things.
Dasher left on 292.
Stokes on 198.
Harley 198 too I think.
Happy to be corrected but point is there are always those that alone get there .

4 - 6 games to get Mitch there will be good the for the vibes of the club as long as Mitch also knows it will prob end there for him.

Go Catters
