We will miss Kreuzer’s one percenters but, if Flip is on his game, his marking around the ground will be a bonus. He is a competitive tap ruckman and should be more than a match for O’Brien.
Been playing well weeks previous to that as well...Jacobs cant get back in and is playing SANFL.
Obrien was a stiff who didnt look like making it as a player ever and I couldnt see how he would ever make it but he has gone to the next level and is is very Kreuzer like at ground level.
Philips does an ok job but as Prof pointed out most of his opponents had very good games when he played earlier and he will need to play four quarters vs Obrien who is very fit.
