I don't see how we can play Casboult, Kreuzer and Phillips in the same side and expect to have any hope of matching other teams for pace and spread. Just too top heavy and slow.
Last three games for us but hopefully we can get something positive out of them. That sort of begs the question of trying some new things. If it were to me I'd be tempted to go for more pace at the expense of height and see how that goes.

This is a good post.
But at least Kreuzer can tackle players after they have disposed of the ball. He creates a lot of grunt work, that adds up to nothing. That's a positive.
Pick the two of the three out of Phillips, Kreuzer and Casboult that are most likely to kick goals.
Casboult....13 goals as a key forward out of 16 games is lamentable, even if he is carrying 20 different injuries.
Kreuzer - 6 goals as a ruckman who spends a good portion of the season in the forward line- also lamentable.
Phillips - 4 goals in 9 matches - for a new player not as bad.
I watched Casboult closely in the Adelaide game (I didn't watch the St Kilda match) and he was really slow to make decisions and get there as well when deep in the forward line. Either play him as a ruck for Kreuzer or drop him, or drop both, or frankly just pick anyone.
I would bring Tutt in purely on the fact I saw him play when he was a junior player and he was a ball magnet. I don't watch enough footy these days to see how far off the pace he is now, but uite frankly, he couldn't do worse than about 16 of the players in this team...but then again?
