It's a 4 hour flight which isn't exactly short.
He is due for rest & makes sense to do it for one of our longer trips... don't you think... or don't you think.

Going to be interesting who he replaces assuming he gets his form and fitness up to the level. Maybe Murphy, although he's playing an important role in F50 stoppages.
He'll add yet another point of difference up forward and make us even more potent.

I don’t think he’ll get back in this year.

Why not?
Was obviously preferred as he was selected rd 1. Last played April 21st and should be back in the SANFL this week.
We still have 11 games + a bye after this week which should give him plenty of time.
Note - If you are suggesting he is perennially injured and you think he lacks the application to get his body right for consistent AFL footy -then I might agree.

Just a gut feel that he’ll get injured or not comeback well in the sanfl.
Look how long it’s taken worrell to get back in after he was supposedly best performed in the preseason, but has been injured and played a lot of sanfl.
The more I re-watched it the more I thought "nah, he's gone"
I'm overjoyed, but in real time it looked lay down misere a week at least.
....and I've only just found this out. There was no fanfare on here, just an understated "Oh well Laird is playing" from Jeffcrowe
so drumroll...................................................
ABOUT TIME WE HAD A WIN AT THE TRIBUNAL!! (The only other win I can remember was the overturn of Dmack's suspension which in everybody's opinion does does not count as a win)

TBH I wouldn't be surprised to see a post training report of some sore players today.
Feels like the team is cycling through some strategic rests.
Now with Laird playing Sloane seems to obvious candidate. But wouldn't be at all surprised if a younger players name pops up as well.

4 hours? Normally less than 3.5 hours and I do this trip once or twice a month

I'd rest Sloane next week, give him 2 weeks off then.

I'm more concerned about the humidity then travel. But given its a double whammy in Darwin on a short week, I'd be more inclined to rest Sloanie now.
TBH giving Sloane a 3 week rest (including the bye) probably wouldn't be the worst management of a 33 year old player coming off a ACL. Let him slog out the remainder of winter on super fresh legs.

Left out overnight
I fly there every 6 weeks for work.
3 hours 40 minutes on the way up. 3 hours 20 minutes back - although have got back once or twice around 3 hours if there was a tail wind.

Parnell and Ned are obvious. Sloane should be rested. Murphy should be dropped.

Well the club has been fairly transparent with sore/underdone players this season (which has been refreshing for the AFC). So if he is laboring i'm sure we'll know about it by this afternoon or tomorrow
I think most seem to agree that Smith and Hinge are best 22 and need to come back in this week. From a purely structural/like-for-like point of view I think Parnell and Sholl are the obvious players to go out for them...happily I think from a talent, form, pecking order POV they are also likely candidates so I think it's a pretty straightforward selection process this week and we should be rolling with very close to our best possible 22 (unlike others I don't have McAdam in that group).
