Maybe they want fanta to play , but keep his loadings under control. VFL is ideal for that eg. 10 minutes per quarter, or until theres any sign of soreness.
I’m sure the connections of young Lav won’t mind me sharing that he played his first game with what I believe was later discovered to be a couple of cracked ribs. Tough kid.
At the moment the second half of the VFL sounds more attractive than the first half of the AFL…
I greatly regretted choosing the, IIRC, second Dawks game at the MCG last year over a corker win over Port at Port. Luckily the VFL call was being streamed so I listened to that and largely ignored what was happening in front of me!
