Danger game 
And this one may be more of a mental challenge than a physical one.
Dropping players would send a message we don't rate them (even if we don't)
You don't want to fire them up.
Because if they come hard at us that will make the game a tougher contest than it might otherwise be if they think were treating them with respect and caution.
How to keep things 'honest' when the spectre of the Collingwood challenge looms would probably be in the thoughts of some, even most, players.
We should win easy, but we're all probably well aware now of the dangers of going into a game with a relaxed mindset, as hard as it might be with the Eagles record this season.
