It's a redundant point now, but Kreuzer nullifies the influence of Nankervis and we go a long way to winning. Likewise against Sinclair, then Lycett and Witts...

We will win many more games this year.

Wasn't in public. "Clear" was it? What was their roles and instructions?
Polson's role is to harass and pressure, which he didn't do well enough. If he was supposed to tag JJ, he didn't do a great job. JJ played his best game of the season. I'm not sure what other role he possibly could've played. Think L'Ob was a run with job on the wing and defensively was really good. Needs a bit more of the ball getting but that'll come. His fumble fit on the wing was funny :'), happens to everyone at some stage or another.

Far from a disaster for them both to go back and work on their games, no disgrace either. We just have better options available and are in the business of winning at the moment.

To be fair to LOB, the ball got knocked or handballed to his feet. Wasn’t entirely his fault

Exactly. They can be praised and dropped to work on some things, which they both need to do. Especially if Willo and Cuningham are ready to go.

Please ... those saying Dow needs a rest and is not up to it at the moment. Have another look at his game - the number of times he did not record a possession but tapped the ball on, stopped the opposition, did all those 1%ers. And did all of this in the middle of the congested play was immense. He does have weaknesses and his kicking is sometimes not a good as it could be but he well and truely deserves to keep his spot in the team. He is definitely best 22 every day of the week.
Absolutely positively my wordy yes

I'm not getting into long discussions as I want to enjoy the win and Carlton more. I'll just say you're wrong
