Re: VFL Round #7: Northern Blues vs. Box Hill Hawks - crashlander - 05-31-2015
GOALS: Watson 2, Boekhorst, Johnson, Walsh, Ellard, Gowers, Wilson, Russell, Wilkinson
DISPOSALS: Ellard 24, McGuinness 23, Whiley 22, Walsh 21, Holman 18
Well, we lost, but with what we can put out on the park at the moment, we were not embarrassed.
From the sounds of things Watson was adequate without making a huge case for his recall. Guys like Smith, Viojo Rianbow and Boekhorst not doing enough.

I thought Holman, Walsh and Ellard were our best mids today. Whiley might have 22 touches next to his name but he wasn't effective in my opinion.

Good point Crash and the answer is I don't know what his main assigned role was, however I would like to see him extracting and getting his hands on the ball as Judd will be leaving sooner rather than later, and there is no real alternative to Cripps and Bell in the seniors post 2015. In my opinion we need to build depth there and we need to find out if Whiley can play. Running around in the reserves negating players isn't what I would call good development unless they're looking to backup or replace Curnow.

I was at the game today and thought Kreuzer was easily our best player and actually kept us in the game for the first three quarters. He was only up against first year ruckman Marc Pittonet, but he dominated the hitouts and helped us win a lot of clearances with his follow up bullocking work. I don't know how many possessions he had but he was very effective and our only clear winner on the day.

Geez, that is some seriously good news.

So do we use Kreuzer as a sub and give him a sniff and then he has a week to rest. Or do we use him from the start a sub him to rest. Or do we just give him a couple of weeks to be 100% and play him against Port Adelaide. I am not keen for us to rush him back. Let him build his confidence first. He will earn his spot sooner than later. Its part of his DNA to give a solid effort.

With the bye coming up after next week I say we play him and give him the two weeks to recover.

Mants, if you saw him today there's no way he'll be sub.
Easily the most competitive player on the field.
He was in beast mode.

Yep, SpecialK straight to the centre, Casboult to FF, Wood to the bench, Everitt to CHF, Jones to oblivion and Tutt on Citrus Duty!
