Rested along with a heap of other league regulars.

Rested from what? Couldnt be any extra training on the track or gym - from what Ive been told he never does any of that! And why would anyone want to "rest" the week out from the beginning of the season - this is the most important hit out of the trials. Common come clean, you seem to know a bit about the NA injuries Drebin (refer your other post). What is his injury?

I thought they played ressies because they were disciplined. If it wasnt a serious measure, and would not have been done if playing for points, then why do it - what effect did it have? Kind of defeats the purpose doesnt it?
And I still dont believe the players listed would have been "rested" without a reason. Were they showing the strain from a tremendously stressful trial game program?I think not! Maybe NA are going so well that these players dont need match fitness or practice.

sus, maybe the coach didn't want to show his full hand in a trial game. But I tend to agee - the week before the real stuff you want to start settling down your team.

That doggies is exactly why Jars rested a host of players - not to show his hand until it counts.

Centrals had 4 or 5 out plus a couple playing ressies so there's no conspiracy, hidden injuries or arrogance. It is a long season after all so why bust your guts this time of the year?

Err because players need to be match hardened.Put it this way - if those few players, inc OHara were rested for no apparent reason other than to give them a break (whatever that means), then I think its a tactical mistake - players need all the match practice they can get at this time of year.
Further note that NA have a bye in round 3 (also 11, 15) - wouldnt they freshen them up in a months time? So all this talk about it being a long season is a lot of twaddle, especially if the players are managed properly.
