VFL Rd: 3 Northern Blues vs. Sandringham

[crashlander]

This week's VFL game could have vital importance to our future.
I can't write that very often, but this round it could be true. Matthew Kreuzer COULD be playing.

I'm always of the opinion that the club needs to err on the side of caution with serious injuries. There have been few as significant as those of the big No 8 in recent times, especially as his preseason looked so promising. So this week could be a watershed moment.
From the sounds of things the lad wants to play and is only looking for the medical say so to take the field against St. Kilda 2nds (sometimes known as Sandringham). Considering the issues we have had with ruckmen, having a guy his stature could be a blessing.

Has he come back too early? That will not be known until after this weekend's game. But one way or the other it is an important moment in our season.

A doc on another site said with the injury Krooz has you just don't know.

Could be right as rain, but they won't know until he starts running.


I think they've been very cautious.

[crashlander]

Hopefully cautious enough. if we can actually get a few games out of him, that would be very good.

re: Nick Holman,, was told he is being used as a run with tagger so his own numbers will probably be down but
he played on James Magner last week and the NB's brains trust were very happy with his work...
I hope the kids progresses as he got thrown to the wolves in his first couple of games, bullied by opponents and had to fend for himself given how weak our senior players are...

Cattapan will play. he was one of the better players last week. Menzel can't be 100 % or he'd probably be in the seniors.

Yes, it will be very interesting to see if Menzel takes the field. For me, he needs to learn to impose himself on the game over the full duration. When in the contest, what he does is simply brilliant... but he needs to do it more often!

[Professer E]

Interesting to see that Watson - pushed by some as the next great hope in the seniors - is named to play at CHB.  He hasn't exactly set the world on fire in that role.

[Sexybronco]

No Kruezer??

Interesting to see that Watson - pushed by some as the next great hope in the seniors - is named to play at CHB.  He hasn't exactly set the world on fire in that role.

Most frustrating thing about this football club is the fact that after 4-5 years in the system Watto still hasn't had a decent run at it.
