Rd 5: Post Game Party!: Carlton vs. Fremantle

[DJC]

Why are you surprised this was the way things were pre-sub rule, so it should be expected rucks would go back to rotating off the bench. I hope it continues, but I think we won't see the best of Kreuzer until he gets a high percentage of game time.

Lots of ducks and drakes for the rest of this season, the new rules have really put the cat amongst the pigeons. But one thing, I reckon Lyon tried a half old style game plan at the weekend and our defense stood up OK.

What is surprising for me is how much TOG KPP players are getting, not just our game but across the competition some are above 95% TOG.

I'm surprised because the pundits predicted that sides would play two ruckmen and they would rest in the forward line.  This is what GWS and Collingwood did (St Kilda and Essendon both played only one ruckman).

Phillips has spent roughly the same TOG in all 5 games but, apart from the Richmond game, Kreuzer has been on the ground for much longer.  I guess the tactics changed with Jones coming into the side.  Charlie Curnow is the other bloke spending a lot of time on the pine.
