KREUZER?

[spasticnut]

This guy looks like he will be my 1st ruckman. What do you's think, his ruck work yesterday against freo was the best i have seen and looks in good shape, could we be seeing the best of Kreuzer this year and should I take the risk and have him as 1st ruckman?

as a first ruck he's probably to much of a risk. would like to see him actually string at least 20 games in a season and perform consistently before giving him the 1st ruck job in my team

but if you wait for that then theres no point asking the question coz everyone will have him first ruck and he will cost as much as the marics and cox's. what makes this worth it is if he does average upward of 100 and plays 20 games he is underpriced. i made a similar post last week. infact i think it was baskically title exactly the same lol. i think he is 1 to watch for the next two rounds of the nab. if mick is playing him as number 1 ruck. and he is getting around the ball plenty. then i love the choice. he is an extra midfielder that can take contested marks and kick goals. he was number 1 pick for a reason.

you also said youd like to see him string 20 games together and perform. last season he did play 20 games. he played through lots of niggles too and he averaged a good solid 90. he reckons he is in great shape and has had a great preseason (i read this somewhere. so i think he is very worth the gamble

when i made my kreuzer post i ultimately thought. no ill stay with goldy. he will be fine. but what happened with goldy this weekend? he sucked again. anyone know anything about his game? its gonna be touch and go for me. kreuz vs goldy

if you wanna take the punt go for it man, if i was going to punt on him i would do it as R2 not R1. I assume your going Luey and R2 which is a punt as he has a history of breaking down in a big way aswell, i just think after last years ruck disaster your better off having at least one safe option who has the highest chance to play 22 games and consistently score well

Colmullet +1  with 1 small extension. If I were to entertain having Leuey I'd trade him in after he hits form and starts scoring well. Currently have the Kreuz as R2 with no Leuey. Cheers and best of luck.

Kreuzer looked pretty good tonight. Played 20 games last year and was hampered by injury. They reckon this is the best pre season he has had. Considering him and Mumford for pod!

I liked his game too. Looks fit and confident. 6 tackles tonight as well! That's fantastic for a big man

I'm not convinced, he was only rucking against Billy Longer (no slight against Billy).

Yeah it's a good point. He will be up against the big mullet round 1

Yer, not a good draw initially

Maric
Jolly
Geelong ruck (might be down to Stokes in the ruck by then)
Cox
Jacobs

The 'TooSerious' website has a ticker that uses a color code (which gets update through the year) to reflect how strong of opposition each position will face each week.

Probably didn't explain that properly but have a look.

If he can stay every free, Kreuzer will dominate, showed signs last pre season, his body held him back, the big guys always take that little bit longer. 2013 should be his year.
