SpecialK the new Rowe!

True, but we finished 17th.

16th.

16th.

Yes sorry, not that it makes much difference.

Lobbe and Casboult move like molasses. Jones is very athletic, and Krooz has great mobility for his size. 

Nobody likes the idea, but I'd like Krooz on ball if Lobbe rucks. Krooz, Cripps, Curnow, Kennedy and others starts to look a lot tougher as a midfield.

Lobbe is insurance as far as I'm concerned.  He'll get a game if Kreuz goes down, coz Philips doesn't provide much injury cover if he's injured all the time.  I know the club sprouted on a video somewhere that Lobbe will play seniors if his form warrants it, but I reckon that's lip service.  He'll get a game if Kreuz or Cas is hurt or needs a rest is my call.  I can't see Kreuz + Lobbe + Cas + Mckay in the same team.  I certainly hope not anyway.

Maybe Phillips is cooked injury wise?

Possibly right and Kreuz's injury history is always there in the back of people's minds.

Interesting rumors floating around that we are looking at a starting line-up with Kreuzer, Lobbe and Casboult all playing.

Add Jones and McKay to that mix as all of a sudden we look like a basketball team, even with out the other KPPs.

Could the club be setting up to play SpecialK as the CHB alone side Jones?

We know SpecialK has the endurance and strength, does he still have the mobility and speed he needs to close in on marking contests?

As mentioned elsewhere, Kreuzer will be resting forward because Lobbe can give him a chop out in the ruck.

To me that says 1 of 2 things.
1. We are playing 3 talls, Kreuzer, Lobbe and Casboult.....and possibly not McKay
or
2. We are playing 3 talls, Kreuzer, Lobbe and McKay....and no Casboult.

Personally, i'd prefer no Lobbe, but willing to give him a crack.

Hope Kruezer isnt seen as some forward messiah  and we are not patching holes again....eg Hampson.
Lobbe should be a backup ruckman only and spend most of his time in the VFL and Mckay has to play seniors IMO along with Casboult..

I think the squad for Wednesday has thumped that rumour into oblivion.

Yes probably, certainly if the JLT team sheet means anything for the main season.
