I agree, if it was a month ago in the H&A season they'd likely make that change. However it's hard to go experimenting this late now with him in the place of a ruck but I reckon he's 'first reserve' for that position so to speak.
Hindsight’s 20-20 and all, but v Hawthorn when we went with AJ (correct call) would have been his moment. My guess is the rage is about the perception of his physical fragility. My concern with him is, like Cameron, his overhead marking. He doesn’t exactly clunk them…
Maybe because unfortunately Kreugs is more than likely to knock himself out than to be able to knock the ball to our advantage at this stage.
history repeating?

MOCK TEAMS: Who's in for finals week one? We make the call
Our reporters pick the ins and outs for week one of the finals

LOL yeah, that one time, after he played a game 2 weeks back from a hand fracture
And Cox..leaving Cameron to deal with Gawn
He has played 9 games spanning 5 years and only played 2 AFL games this year. He isn't coming in unless we get a significant amount of injuries. This isn't PlayStation where you pick a side without consequences.
We could show a really impressive set by dropping Jordy and Elliott.It's pretty evident that most blokes in here, and some assorted others, are only prepared to nominate at best a couple of players as outs. To those of the former persuasion, you need to grow a set. Let's hope selectors are more ruthless in their thinking and make some bold yet astute decisions regarding the team's composition. I also hope their decisions are a carbon copy of my own, given I'm sure my appraisal of the team's needs and players' form is a good as that of the selectors.
Kreuger's injuries are a little concerning for him to be selected for the final.
He has strung together a long run of VFL games and was very good last week. I particularly liked some of his work while lying on the ground firing out handballs. He kicks well for goal and just needs to clunk a few more marks. If we lose and Cameron plays another ordinary game or our forward talls prove impotent, we may be sorry we didn't take a leap of faith and give Kreuger a final's berth. Of course, we could play him and have him perform a kamikaze lunge that shatters his shoulder and then play a man short for the rest of the game. That's football!
I think Howe will play defensive forward on either May or Lever. Ginni won't be sub. I think Lipinski could miss out
Agree, with Murphy & Moore to return it makes sense to try and use marking prowess to try and neutralise one of their interceptors. Especially as Melbourne's tall fwds aren't too threatening.
I still reckon this will (or should) happen too. Howe forward to really stretch Lever and Coxy super sub to come on and test Gawn in the second half.
See, my third out in your list would be easy - Lipinski. I would leave WHE in for his experience. WHE would be my sub.
