Quote:Murphy could be joined out on the playing field soon by his long-time teammate Matthew Kreuzer, who has made significant strides in his comeback from a knee injury.
After undergoing surgery back in January, Russell said the ruckman was on schedule to return prior to the season opener.
“‘Kreuz’ is training really well. He did the full skills session [on Monday],” he said.
“He’s just getting a few weeks of good training in and we expect him to be available certainly by Round 1. He’s looking good to play before then.”
Another player in a similar boat to Kreuzer is new recruit Alex Fasolo.
Russell forecasted that the goal-sneak could also get some minutes in before the home-and-away season, largely thanks to the commitment to his rehabilitation.
“Alex Fasolo’s arm is settling down really well. He has been doing skills training for the last week, no contact, and did a full skills session yesterday,” he said.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
