Maybe Stick's is holding back these 2 talented lads for the Div 1 matches
I will never understand why they would not take a full strength team to the first game, it is not as they they have to play 3 games in 2 weeks at this stage. Surely it will take more out of Irra and Kennedy to play SANFL league football than to fly with the 18s and play interstate.
Even if they think they can win without them surely it would be better to have these guys play early so they can build a team system better in an attempt to maximise the chances of beating victoria and WA.
