This is why they will win the Premiership IMO. When we beat them at Elizabeth, they had 21 AFL-listed players and suffered because of it. They were unbalanced. They will certainly be better of with Summerton, Sharrod, Biemanns, Reynolds etc. And they will want to make it count because I am sure some of these league players who have played ressies most of the year will surely move on in 2018.
For what its worth, whoever wins in the Port v Sturt clash this week will probably be the first team to qualify for the GF when they follow up with a W against the Eagles the week after.
This is exactly what it does, it provides us with an opportunity to get more balance, drop a few 18 year olds and bring in harder older bodies for finals. Hardly a disadvantage and another quick fix **** up by the SANFL ( see media thread ).
Yes, there will be some movement of senior players who spent most of the year kicking off at 11:30am.
