This Sunday at 2:00 PM. Definitely not on TV, more is the pity. Richmond and Essendon appear to be Channel 7's favourites, as they are both on again.
The suggestion is that Kreuzer will be back. Considering that Northern didn't have a recognized ruckman against at least 3 B*mber rucks and still almost won, then Kreuzer could make a big difference.
It will be very interesting to see how the teams line up.
Live Long and Prosper!

Crash, I heard Kreuzer struggled in his last game, almost as though he was lost. Does he look like he can fin some form in the next few weeks. I wouldn't rush him back to the seniors unless he gets some confidence.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

I wouldn't rush him back to the seniors unless he gets some confidence. To be honest, I wouldn't call him 'lost', but he looked like he had a LONG way to go against North Ballarat. His ruck work was just so so, against a decent pair of rucks. He didn't do much around the ground or up forward. Warnock was far more effective and even kicked 2 goals. In fact, it was Warnock lifting his game late in the 3rd quarter that got the Blues back into the game.
I would not be rushing Kreuzer into the seniors, not by a long shot. He needs to get 40+ taps and 20+ possessions before I'd even think about it.

Lost, that's what happens when you play a bloke who is potentially one of the leagues best ruckmen as a forward or defender.
Shite like that has to stop, good players playing in their best positions, not a bunch of standardised robots who are 8/10ths of feck all everywhere else on the ground!

We can't seem to take a trick on the injury front. At least this week the Blues have a ruckman in the team.
I know I flag that particular horse a fair bit, but we just do not have enough rucks on our list. It was a stupid error than was unnecessary. If we were only going to manage with 3, and one of those injured (Kreuzer), then the NB's needed at least 1. But the nearest to a true ruckman is Bolger and he isn't big enough for the job and young Aurrichio had never played there before and was being groomed to be a defender. That is simply poor management and dumb recruiting. Hopefully we learn our lesson soon. I'm not going to live forever!

Yarran going down opens a spot for next week. If Watson is fair dinkum, he'll come out and kick a few. There is a nice big spot available for him in the seniors if he wants it enough. God knows Jones isn't doing anything.
