XztatiK, I think you're looking at the Townsville game stats and not from Saturday's game against the Dragons, in which Bowen topscored for the Blaze. I too, am not sure why Bowen didn't play against the Crocs seeing he was at the game.
Marcos, I thought MacGregor did pretty well in the Townsville game, yes 1 game out of 10 is not good, but as for Frank, I honestly believe he's been playing at a much more consistent level than last season. Your homeboy Melmeth has had some good games for us but this has come with some shokers which is the whole problem with the team this season, a lack of consistency.
As for the Vanderjagt, I agree with you in that he is playing out of his skin with limited opportunity. But can you please get it into your brain that the only way he can play is to cover another of the 10 players that is either injured or cut. While it may look like the Blaze can decide when he plays or not, this is not the case.
At various times this season he's covered for Melmeth, Whitehead, MacGregor and Hawkins and somehow was able to play the Townsville home game after Hawk was cut. Barring future injuries to the 'first 10', the only way he'll get a game is if the Blaze cut someone else.
As I've read elsewhere that the Blaze intend to keep all of their players for the remainder of the season, some 'injuries' may have to start striking the team a little more often so Vandy can get the playing time he deserves.
