VFL Rd 2: Northern Blues vs. Geelong

[laj]

I think what this result shows is the importance of getting blokes on the park. Especially Armfield and White.

Our club lacks depth, we lose one player and structures turn to poo. But get them all out there and all of a sudden clubs can struggle to match up against us. Armfield for example means Smith gets a lesser opponent. White gets the best opponent freeing up Jaksch and Jones.

I'd love to see what the 1s could do if you add Armfield to the mix, all of a sudden blokes like a Boekhurst, Lamb, Wright or Sumner get a lesser/slower opponent.

If we get defensive players like Weitering and Plowman in form and playing together blokes like Casboult, White can have a impact forward because they aren't busting guts to fill holes.

An in form Jones makes Kreuzer / Phillips look like poor and slow forward options and also frees up Casboult.

Lots of good signs.

Yes, play Jaksch and Jones and let Levi 2nd ruck/3rd tall so he can use his marking around the ground as well as take the 3rd defender up forward. He  can stretch them with his marking on the forward line without taking the bulk of the defenders. Still, like anything playing forward, it won't help if the movement off the ball going in is slow and haphazard.
