Rd 1 Carlton vs Richmond Post Game Prognostications

[DJC]

Did anyone else think Kreuz was rather disappointing? Or just average anyway.

I thought that he was the best ruckman on the ground in terms of overall performance.  Hammer got more hitouts but did little else.  However, Kreuzer seems to do better when he spends most of the time on the ball.  Sharing the ruck with Phillips and spending time forward reduces his effectiveness.

As others have suggested, using the resting ruck as a forward is a work in progress and Bolton needs to do some tuning.
