2018 Rd 7: Pre Game Paranoia: Carlton vs Adelaide

[LP]

So reading into that, what you are telling me is that when Kreuzer gets beaten by sauce this week, you will say "Oh its because it was his first game back from injury and thats why he was beaten by sauce"

If he is good enough, he is good enough. He simply doesn't match up on sauce well who outdoes him around the ground and in front of goals.

No harm in that, sauce is an awesome ruck.
Just saying, give Phillips the job and rest kreuzer until he is fully fit.

Kreuzer is injured again no doubt about that, when fit he is a far better ruck option than Jacobs. Despite Jacobs accumulating large numbers of hit-outs occasionally nobody has ever seriously considers him for an AA spot, while some (even non-Carlton commentators) believe Kreuzer has been robbed of a spot, there is a reason for that!

The idea that Jacobs dominates Carlton is unsupported by the match reports and the stats, he's had very few good games against us, on average we have him covered. Statistically looking at Jacobs top 51 games against all opposition Carlton only features twice, at 14th and 51st. On averages against Carlton he's middle of the field, head to head Kreuzer has been better for Carlton against Adelaide than Jacobs has been for the Crows against us. That is reality, nothing subjective to opinionated about it!
