Kreuzer crusing to premium status

[Bully]

Since he bottomed out at 380k, Kreuzer has averaged 107 and looks very comfortable assuming number 1 ruck duties. Last night's performance would have made Goldstein proud and it would appear that Malthouse has decided to play the likes of Rowe and Casboult ahead of Warnock.

It's still early days but I'm predicting MK will finish the season as the third best ruckman behind Goldstein & Minson, and he still represents decent value at $460,000.

Big call  :o
I'm disappointed I didn't grab him when he was $380k as I was very close but decide to pay the extra $$$ for Nic Nat.

[kfewster]

id say Nic Nat would still be #1 ruck by end of season

[roo boys!]

NicNat and Cox will be higher but assume most would have him forward.

How far away is Sandi?

McEvoy as long as Hickey doesn't return should outscore Kruez.

I go for carlton and i think we've finally settled on our Key Forward Ruck structure.

Mick now agrees with most of us supporters that we are best when Kruezer is 1st ruck, with Casboult (or Hampson) relieving.
Dont think we'll see warnock much more this year, and with him out i can see krueze going 100-105 rest of year. However theres that tiny risk that mick does bring warnock back in, but not for the time being at least

As first ruck Kreuzer's last 9 scores have been 101, 88, 110, 94, 125 , 116, 122, 89, 111 (note- injury affected games not included).

That's an average of 106 and would place him higher than any of the other potential keepers. Assuming Naitanui and Cox will be playing as forwards, I can only see McEvoy putting up a challenge for third best pure ruckman.

Happy with my rucks trades to date...Maric>Leuey>NicNat and Daw>Kreuezer and Rowe>Nicholls. Maric lost a bit of coin before Leuey started playing but other than starting Minson or Goldy R1 probably couldn't have done much better.
I bought Kreuzer for $380k and have been wrapped with his scores so far. Was only that cheap due to injury.

[Ringo]

Traded Berger to Kreuzer when Berger Injured - Have not been disappointed so far. (Kreuzer was $380k).

Kreuzer has the potential and have been personally trying to pick when he would break out. Thought last year would be the one, but because of his history i stayed away. I'm not sure about his final possession count, but he only had about 10 by 3 QTT, so on days that he doesn't dominate the hit outs like he did last night you can imagine what his scoring would look like. If he ever drops down again, form or injury etc, I will have the faith to pick him up...

136 last night ;D
Going beautifully!!!

[Bully]

139 tonight, he's now the premier ruckman of the competition having outperformed Minson and Goldy.

What a bargain he was at 380k.

139 tonight, he's now the premier ruckman of the competition having outperformed Minson and Goldy.

What a bargain he was at 380k.

Score was Inflated by 2 late contested marks but still he is playing some good footy. Goldstein was on his way to a big score to then stopped in the last quater

[enzedder]

Very pleased with another big score. ;D

[mjbcattery]

Supercoach is set up perfectly for stand alone ruckman, If Kreuzer continues to be the only ruck playing for Carlton (Rowe spends 10% of time in there) he will score well and especially when playing against another stand alone ruckman like Goldstein.
I got him in at 380k for that reason and has paid off.
But in all honesty, any stand alone ruckman is good enough to play for you thesedays.

Look what happened to McEvoy and Maric with Hickey and Vickery playing
Goldstein this season now McIntosh is gone and Petrie isn't rucking.
Minson this season without Campbell backing up
The list goes on...

Best rucks in the League in my mind;
Sandilands (assuming fit)
Nic Nat (as above)
Kreuzer
Cox
And on current form Pyke...

[caluuum]

Yeah grabbed him for Berger when he was bottomed out, very happy with him
Caugh* should have been off with blood rule last minute of game tonight *caugh

Oh and I'm pissed off that you didn't give give this a better title!? Kreuzing to a premium status please <3
