1. Agree with Jim...Kruezer players better when he is the main man and has Casboult as the casual relief ruckman.
I thought Kruezer went as well as anyone could vs Sandilands and dont agree he was murdered in the ruck, worked well around the ground and what people forget is effectively another mid as he plays like the old fashioned follower and involves himself at ground level and around the ground.
Dont get me wrong I like Philips and he is an honest contributor as a ruckman and very handy as backup but playing them both makes us inflexible IMO.
2: Sumner...talented player IMO, has pace, kicks goals and can take a decent mark for a smaller type, got some courage too and can lay a tackle....
Injuries and lack of possessions are his main problem, when he plays he does some good things but doesnt get enough footy...
I'd like to see him stay in the team and be given some roles to play, had thought about trying him down back as a small defender as he tackles well and would rebound the footy...that way it wouldnt be about total possies per game and more about his role playing on a man.
