Wonder why nothing changed. Maybe they got thrown by the return game where Cripps was alot better, Lynch was goaless on Jones, Levi had a good one around the ground despite missing every shot at goal, and Kreuzer played well on Witts but still, you have to be aware of history and what those players can do to you and last year at Etihad is still fresh.
Kreuzer was injured in the 1st Qtr against GC last season, played out the game and then missed the following week. So we knew what was going to happen playing a less than capable ruck option against Witts, so we repeated history!
May carried an injury allowing Casboult freedom to influence the game, after Lynch had stitched up Rowe with 6 goals we put Weitering on him which ended Lynch's dominance all too late!
So two days ago we played Weitering forward and let Casboult learn what a real ruck option does! Is it only our players who have to learn from history, what about the MC?
