Re: Rd 8: Pre Game Prognostications: Carlton vs Port Adelaide - crashlander - 05-12-2016
That works a LOT better when Kreuzer is taking a few marks. Last week he had what was, in many ways, his best game for the year and he still took only one mark. It wasn't even contested. The previous week he and Phillips worked together pretty well.
But you do have a point: many of our rucks like being in the game more and do well doing the majority of the work. Kreuzer has his best games that way. But it does leave very few options if things do NOT work.

We've seen all this for years and saw it again last week. Two genuine rucks rarely works for us and certainly hurts Kreuzer's game.
Sorry Jim,
Krooz and Phillips were far better than Krooz alone.
I'd expect the MC to go straight back to this model when Phillips gets over his hammy.

Even if it were the case that Kreuzer needs to play all day we shouldn't not play other ruck men to suit him, it's a team sport and Kreuzer plays the role we tell him to. Phillips could leave and end up the next Sam Jacobs.

My two cents worth? I reckon we will win. Why? Just because I have confidence in the coach, his staff and the players. Also, PA haven't been good this year.

Etihad might be an advantage for us, but I still reckon Port, even though their form has been scratchy, will be too good.

If PA fire then they may have just a bit too much class for us but if we can keep the pressure on as we did v. the Pies then we're in with a show without doubt. We must play the game in our fwd half of the ground!

When was the last time we won at Etihad?

When it was Telstra Stadium?
