My pint was more in this season with so many games and inconsistent rest periods we could have benefited from resting a few more. And to my first point outside of Dow and Polson not much else outside of Philp and Honey imo
We actually havent had a heavy schedule yet though. From memory, I think our shortest break was 5 days (correct me if Im wrong anyone) and it only happened once.
Have a look at how people have reacted to one loss in which we rested Cottrell and SPS, to bring in Polson and Dow.
Teague's on a hiding to nothing in that equation.
Not saying your point isnt worth considering, just challenging it to make sure its one to consider. I think we will see a few more trialled coming up too, but time will tell.

It was drummed into me at a very young age that Carlton supporters must not tolerate losses. However, after a couple of days have passed and the disappointment has dissipated somewhat, there are positives to take out of the game.
Yep, I said this in another thread, our biggest sin against Collingwood wasnt capitalising on the sustained pressure we were putting on and our time in forward half. For some reason we seemed unwilling to have a go for goal. Martins pulled kick to Cripps might tell a story in itself. I thought he was in range and he decided to go short, we might have a few more soft tissue issues than we first thought, and the advise might be to go short rather than long.
I havent seen anyone try and pot one 40+ out for a few weeks.
