These guys have struggled at etihad with the foot injuries and we go West to Freo next week which is a much more winnable game IMHO and a much more winnable game for us.
Not sure I agree.
We are not playing to just snare the points - Kreuzer is vital how the teams preforms and his work in the centre is vital for all our mids. See the Port game to see the difference when his big body is not in the way of opposition mids breaking from stoppages. The saints have good quality mids and without Kreuzers inclose work, we will likely suffer another Port margin loss.
He was rested only 3 weeks ago and so was Thomas. While both seem to have ongoing issues both should not require another 'rest' IMO just yet.
Regarding whether its winnable. only have to look at last week results to know practically every game is winnable depending on how hard you come to play.
