VFL Rd #2: Northern Blues vs. Port Melbourne at North Port

[crashlander]

Goldstein is a jet. Better than Jacobs and a real leader.

Wood has played quite well on Goldstein in the past: he was one of the reasons we beat North last year.
However, both he and Warnock have their limitations. We badly need to draft a ruckman for our future.

Assuming we play both Wood and Warnock (not an unlikely event if we come up against a team like the Weagles with a good pair of ruckmen), then there is NO viable option playing for the Northern Blues and NO young kid coming up to replace them. THAT is one of my real worries. While we may not have a huge amount of class on our list, we do have an option for just about every position on the ground. We have a couple of tall forwards, a couple of tall defenders, a couple of mids, etc. But where are our rucks? Kreuzer is terribly injury prone and spends more time in the medical room than on the ground. Warnock has a history of injury almost as bad and almost as debilitating. Wood is the ONLY one who is generally sound. If he goes down.....
