Nothing, because we have a decent backup ruckman and all our main midfield players are there bar Tucky who we could probably Vlastuin filling in for? There's no Webberley in this team. This is the perfect game for Arnot to debut, no pressure on his performance, can take a lot away from the game, just gives him confidence back in the VFL to fix some things up so when he does make it into the team he's a much better player for it. The Adelaide game for Elton was the perfect example of bringing in a player against a team they're not ready for, sure Elton will learn from the experience but it probably hurt him a bit mentally as well.To be honest, I'd rather Arnot debut in a match that is much tougher.
If we debut him against Melbourne, it reeks of complacency.
We all know what happens then.
I think everyone has already reiterated this but it's not a risk playing a player that is fine to play. Maric is the example of resting a player that is not 100%.Why risk him seriously.We beat a better performed side than Melb last week on thier home turf without Cotch.I mean if we can't beat this rabble without Cotch then we don't deserve to fight for a finals spot.
