Rnd 5 Freo Win Kruezer and Phillips (2 Rucks Played)
Rnd 6 Ess Win Kruezer and Phillips (2 Rucks Played)
Rnd 7 Coll Win Kruezer (1 Ruck Played)
Rnd 8 PA Win Kruezer (1 Ruck Played)
Rnd 9 NM Loss Gorringe (1 Rucks Played)
Rnd 10 Geel Win Kruezer and Gorringe (2 Rucks Played)
Rnd 11 Bris Win Kruezer and Gorringe (2 Rucks Played)
The Rnd 12, 14, 15, 16 we have lost every game with 2 rucks playing
Two rucks/one key forward. You haven't seen the pattern yet? When did we start winning, when we picked the 2nd key forward, when did we play even better, when we played one ruck. It's one of the few things that went ok last year too. When did we go back to struggling to kick a score again, when we went back to two rucks and one key forward. Any part of that you've missed? Gorringe, while not that good, is as much a forward as a ruck. He actually took marks and kicked a couple of goals. As a ruck he wasn't very good.
The two rucks together have generally played terrible. There's no argument there. For years Kreuzer has been at his best when he has been on his own. I just don't know what part of that people miss. People watch footy week in/week out and miss the obvious.
