That suggests to me that Kreuzer hasn't come up, and Schumacher is the new emergency.

Or there are question marks over Kreuzer AND someone else.

Better yet, if you were Andrew Phillips you'd be pretty miffed at missing two games with a Corked hip and then banished to the vfl.

Except Phillip's direct opponents were BoG, or at least in the running for BoG, in both his games.

So cynically perhaps it was an opportunistic injury! :o

Whisper around Vic Park. C Curnow out, knee soreness, L Casbolt in. Hence the two emergencies....

Yeah, heard that earlier in the week, an excuse for his last game?

[Professer E]

In a word.... Faaaaaaaaaaark

Yep Levi doesnt install a lot of confidence and I was hoping they would play Charlie on a wing so he could
unclog the forward line and give us a target to kick to further up the ground.
Still think we are a good chance just on the basis we are overdue for a win but this doesnt help if its true.

Levi hasn't set the world on fire yet this year, but none of our forwards have. We really need them to start working together and opening up space for each other.

Brought him back too soon in the hope he'd help deliver BB his first win?

I reckon we'll win this game by heaps, 10gls plus. I base this on some assumptions:

Someone at the club put BB, midfield coaching and forward line coaching in a room together and bellowed at them to sort out their cr@p and that they're not leaving the room until they're all on the same page (how can you have cohesion on the field if it aint in the coaching group!).

That as a result of BB, midfield coaching and forward line coaching 'connecting' that this will be communicated effectively (succinctly!!!) to the players, confusion eliminated giving cohesion a chance to grow.

That the playing group will be permitted more freedom/responsibility/trust and will be less encumbered by excessive instructions.

That anger at losing will be at breaking point and a ruthless determination will sweep through the players, to not only win but belt the shizen out of their opponents.
