I agree with a few others, I think Watson deserves a run in the Seniors. I think Jones is offering slightly more than Casboult right now, but only just. Last senior game Watson kicked 4 against the Bombers. This is his last year of his contract, let's see what he's got as a forward in the 1's before it's too late. Give him 4-5 games minimum in a row to show his worth. He can't possibly stink it up as much as Casboult has been.
Hmmm!
Ellard and Armfield, the latter in particular, were among our better players last week and Watson couldn't match Casboult's work in the ruck and around the ground. Dick didn't get much of a run but he'll get more opportunities as the season progresses.
I'm not convinced that Jones will make it as a key forward and I had Watson ahead of him before the season. However, Jones has shown glimpses and Watson has dominated in the NBs (which is what I would expect from a bloke desperate to play AFL); Jones gets another week and Watson has to work harder.
My ins would be Judd, Jaksch and possibly Menzel but deciding on the outs is a little difficult, and that's a good thing. Depending on match ups, perhaps Dick, Jamison and Carrazzo?

Apparently Kreuz set for a run in the NBs this week.

I think you have to be careful with your outs.
You are dropping 2 blokes who are team first go-getters in Army and Ellard. Dick takes a leaf out of their book, but isn't up to it yet.
Then you drop Casboult who is one of the few big blokes who can throw their weight around which is required against a side like the pies.
Who plays 2nd ruck? Rowe from CHB? With maybe Jaksch or an injured Jammo playing on Cloke? We can drop Casboult when we get Kreuzer back.
I agree with bringing in Judd and Menzel if he's fit.
I'd like to bring in Jaksch too....maybe for Jammo if he's not right?
Watson...no spot for him with Jaksch back.
Personally i'd drop Curnow for Judd
Ellard for Menzel (if fit)
Dick for Jaksch

I think Menzel should plays NBs - make him realise he's not a walk up start and his form this year has been poor - he reeks of picking up Gibbs' attitude (and pony tail).
Think we need Curnow. He shut Stevens right down.
Jamo - sure doing nothing down back so let hm have some rest
Dick an obvious out - so him, Jamo and if a third out is needed i guess Ellard goes before Armfield whose speed appears to be back.

I agree about this, especially with younger players regardless of talent.
Scotland's(In the Past), Judd's and Simmo's get to stroll back in to the 1s, but kids must earn their place so they value it!
We have very few "certainties" on our list!

I still believe a fit/firing Kreuzer is the key difference between CFC being a bottom 6 team and a top 6 team.

Agreed, he and Cripps side by side on the ball and the whole team will stand taller! (No Pun Intended)

x10!!!
I couldn't agree more. This guy can seriously play when his body allows him to. He has massive heart and leaves nothing on the park.
We don't have that much to be excited about these days yet this guy makes gives me hope being a blue.
I know he hasn't lived up to his potential but its not without him giving his all. Just needs some luck and we will see how good he is.
Not much loyalty left in the AFL but this is one player that deserves something back. I don't forget it being reported before his last contract was up that he won't play for another club and will only sign a contract from us.
I don't forget that and hope the club doesn't either.
His a keeper IMO even if injuries still hold him back some further time.
