How effective were his hitouts vs our clearances?.....a lot of our clearances end up nowhere....
Kruezer should get his chance to dominate vs ex Swan Namkervis and the ageing Maric when we play the Tigers...we will have to do better
than one clearance advantage though...

Trying to find a positive EB. Thought Kreuzer looked the best player for large periods. Was happy with what I saw.

Given how poor the general skills are, especially the kicking of Kerridge and Curnow, we really need Murphy [and Gibbs] kicking the ball more often and spotting up targets upfield and being creative. He racks up decent numbers, but like Gibbs, often has very limited impact on the game IMO.
Kruz tried his guts out, had 17 possessions and laid 7 tackles [game high]. He is running into some good form, and the only blight on his game was he also threw the ball onto his boot a few times and turned it over. I would love to see him have a big year, because if he plays well we are a much harder side to beat.
Agreed. Kreuz is one of the very few senior guys who shows the kind of intensity and inspiration needed. OK he makes a mistake here and there, but if everyone put in like him we'd be in a much better place.

The fact that he topped the tackles is a great general indicator of endeavour and effort, and we desperately need Gibbs, Murph and Thomas to display the same kind of intensity. It's been sorely missing so far, but hopefully they can flick the switch in 10 days time........ Here's hoping!!

Shadesy...Pickett, Marchbank were my positives and I thought Weitering showed plenty up forward..I wasnt unhappy with Kruezers game and 17 possies is a good effort ..I just thought
Sandilands especially in the 1st half was a big factor....reckon the 3rd man up rule hurt us a bit too, Cripps might have stolen a few boundary throw ins if Kruezer was able to block
out the big bloke..
Re: JLT game 3 - shadesy - 03-13-2017
I rate Marchbank, but has made some basic howling errors across the preseason.

Unfortunately, this seems to be accurate.
It appears to be a facet of the game plan this year, i.e. lots of short quick hand passes to try and get the ball to a player under less pressure. Laudable idea if players have the skill and anticipation to carry it off; laughable otherwise.
Re: JLT game 3 - Barbs - 03-13-2017
I'll ask the question - if Weitering plays forward this year (and beyond) what happens to Charlie Curnow?
Can we have a forward line of Casboult, Weitering and Curnow in 2017 and expect results? Big ask of a couple of 19-20 olds but I guess pressure makes diamonds.

Easy fixed.
Get rid of casboult.
He is not the future. Weitering and Curnowfides are.

Think Weitering, Pickett, Jack Silvagni, Charlie Curnow, Wright and Casboult are a good start in the forward line.
Harry McKay and Pat Kerr in time also we hope. You could add other crumbers in SPS, Lebois and Sumner too. Think young Lebois, with Pickett, could make for a brilliant tandem.
Casboult and Kreuzer swpping tall forward/ruck gives us a big monster up forward also.
I think Marchbank, and Plowman too, are more than capable up forward. Rowe is another.
Sound analyses as usual EB and Pratty, but I have a couple of qualifications. If Rowe plays forward it should be very occasionally and he must be instructed to take the shot every time he gets the ball inside 50. He is a good kick for goal but not so good at hitting a target. I would only play Plowman forward if there was a match up that suited. Zach Tuohy would one such match up with Plowman having the ability to stop Tuohy's run and exploit his loose checking.
