2011 Profile: Matthew Kruezer

[roo boys!]

Firsty, I would like to say that I am surprised to see his name not listed on the sticky thread, I thought he would have been done ???

Now into the Stats:

Games: 13
Total Score: 1067
Average Score: 82
High: 140 (Round 8 )
Low: 6 (Round 13)
Centuries: 3 out of 13
Starting Price: $421,100
High Price: $436,500(round 10)
Lowest Price: $391,200 (round 13)


Summary:

If you are looking for a solid, mid priced ruckman to go with Sandi, then Kruezer could be just for you! He has opted for the traditional surgery over the LARS treatment, focusing on his long term future. Was having a fantastic year, and if you take out the game where he go injured he averaged over 88. Pretty good for a young kid on the up.  :)


The Crystal Ball:

He is at $415,000 in the FanPlanner.
He doesn't get a discount does he? Or will he get a discount? Don't you have to miss 10 games, and he missed 9?
Position: RUC


Decision:

He is returning from a big injury, but could that just make him bettter? Unfortunate if he doesn't get a discount but I still think he will improve on his average from this season and could be worth the $400,000. I know he has been in many plans for teams, and he could be the standout in the group of mid-priced ruckmen next season. My rucks are almost set, but he could well be the elusive player you are looking for.

maybe :)

I won't be considering him. I don't know if he will be starting in Rd 1.

His price will go down once he starts, I can't see him scoring great once he starts, so on that basis not in my plans.

[roo boys!]

Yeah that's what I was thinking, if he had a discount then he would be bettter value...

BE of 145 on his profile.

[ossie85]

The BE doesn't mean anything in the new year, all reset.

Usually you have to play less than 10 games to get a discount, so Kreuzer shouldn't get one.

Unlikely for me

[roo boys!]

Oh ok, then disregard the BE. :P

Yeah I thought it was someting to do with 10 games, I thought you had to miss 10 or something, and Kreuz missed 9.

Great write up btw RB

[CuStArDaRm]

I have had him the last two seasons purely on potential, coz really he could easily get mid-field type numbers if he hits his straps!
Dont know If ill try him again, see if he gets any pre season games then i might pick him.

[CrowsFan]

Nah not for me. Since he injured his knee mid season and went for the traditional surgery that generally means you wont be able to play for a full year, so shouldn't be back till mid way through the year. So maybe look to as an upgrade target for Petrie

Nice write up RB.

I very doubt Kreuz will find a place in my team next season :(. Got others infront of him who haven't been through a massive injury this season.

[Maca24]

if he wasnt coming back from a knee reco then id be considering

[Alex7089]

No thank you.
He is a good player, but not really high scoring enough to be a premium ruck, and not cheap enough to make money.
Also, being a taller guy the knee reco will be more of a problem, didn't go with the LARS surgery so will take a while to get back & he'll be very tentative at first.

Not a fan of Kreuzer, definate NO from me.

[Cruiseon]

Why would anyone draft in a player who is not going to play the first 5-10 rounds?

Definite no.
