No coincidence both Kreuzer and Casboult played easily their best footy in role they were suited and we played well too. I like Phillips but two ruckmen doesn't often work for us, especially when we're left with just one key forward. Phillips doesn't often do that much and Kreuzer's effectiveness is cut in half when he has to share. Seen that for years now. Not sure why it takes our match committee so long to see that. That did for a few matches when Phillips got injured and we did well.
At worst 2 key forwards and 2 rucks where Casboult can then get up the ground and clunk some marks rather than being stuck deeper forward as our one out key forward against the heat of multiple defenders.
Not true about Krooz and Casboult effectiveness without Phillips.
Phillips is showing exactly why they are getting games into him.
1) Bolton wants two rucks to play.
2) Phillips is rate of improvement is very good.
However, I would agree I think we need another marking target forward. Why they won't do it is a mystery to me but I've given up doubting.
