It's funny, but this game could be completely different, depending what happens in the lead up games.
It could be a 'full on' contest ...or AFLX revisited.
Do two sides who are likely to play each other again in two weeks show all their cards, or leave something for the finals?
Is there a great psychological advantage to be had?
There probably is if both sides give a full contest, but if one side goes in looking to give players a spell, there's no advantage. The other side knows they've had a hollow victory and the real heat is yet to come.
If both sides look to rest players we'll end up with an exhibition match. :
