Re: VFL Round #7: Northern Blues vs. Box Hill Hawks Reply #75 – May 31, 2015, 07:53:40 pm Quote from: Life Coach – on May 31, 2015, 07:50:07 pmI was at the game today and thought Kreuzer was easily our best player and actually kept us in the game for the first three quarters. He was only up against first year ruckman Marc Pittonet, but he dominated the hitouts and helped us win a lot of clearances with his follow up bullocking work. I don't know how many possessions he had but he was very effective and our only clear winner on the day.Geez, that is some seriously good news. Quote Selected
Re: VFL Round #7: Northern Blues vs. Box Hill Hawks Reply #76 – May 31, 2015, 08:00:07 pm So do we use Kreuzer as a sub and give him a sniff and then he has a week to rest. Or do we use him from the start a sub him to rest. Or do we just give him a couple of weeks to be 100% and play him against Port Adelaide. I am not keen for us to rush him back. Let him build his confidence first. He will earn his spot sooner than later. Its part of his DNA to give a solid effort. Quote Selected

Mants, if you saw him today there's no way he'll be sub.Easily the most competitive player on the field.He was in beast mode. Quote Selected

Re: VFL Round #7: Northern Blues vs. Box Hill Hawks Reply #80 – May 31, 2015, 08:18:43 pm Agree Everitt has played his best footy for us up forward in NAB Cup games and also on Friday. Give him a run up there along with Watto. Quote Selected
Re: VFL Round #7: Northern Blues vs. Box Hill Hawks Reply #81 – May 31, 2015, 08:19:25 pm If he is in some form, I would think Barker would want him in as soon as possible. Especially if cimm1979 has him as being on fire. As PI2C states he can have a rest during the bye if they do play him. We need some players with energy, talent and a will to produce a contest while Cripps and other young players are starting their AFL careers. They need role models and mentors on the field.If we use Everitt forward, throw Jones in defence or back in the seconds. Then leave him there for good. Quote Selected

Re: VFL Round #7: Northern Blues vs. Box Hill Hawks Reply #84 – May 31, 2015, 09:10:31 pm Special-K can spend some time up forward to put pressure on the defenders, but is primarily a Ruck and an extended mid. The tricks have been tried for years already. Maybe one day he could be our Paul Salmon (In his early career before he insisted he should be a ruck), but we will have to wait to see if that is the case. Quote Selected
Re: VFL Round #7: Northern Blues vs. Box Hill Hawks Reply #85 – May 31, 2015, 09:19:25 pm I just think if throw Kruezer in the middle too much he will get injured and wont have the match fitness anyway..I'd be inclined to let Wood ruck vs Lobbe and use Casboult and Kruezer vs Ryder if he plays. Rather ease MK back and let him prop up our pathetic forward , drop Jones... Quote Selected

Re: VFL Round #7: Northern Blues vs. Box Hill Hawks Reply #89 – May 31, 2015, 11:06:50 pm Presuming that the nb's don't have a matching bye, I'd prefer mk to build his fitness there until after the bye round.He's played one game (game time ?) and missed a week and now played 3/4, I don't think it's enough.By that I mean, we know he'll make a contribution, but the last thing we want is him breaking down again, I'd like to see him play a full game in our bye round and then get his promotion.
