GWS should be going for a Pruess/Roughead/Longer/Ceglar - wouldn’t waste time on Kruezer - surely he ain’t leaving the Blues.

Last year.Tell me a year recently that he hasn't spent a fair majority of it on the side lines.
Must have been thinking more recently like 2018. How many games did he play without being injured either carrying an injury or getting injured during the game?Forgotten your flag year already?
Played 42 out 44 through 2016/2017.

That doesn’t make a huge dent in salary reduction. Shiel on about $650k and would need to pay Kreuzer about $450k. He is banged up. I suppose that’s why there is talk about mummy. They’d pay him the minimum for a year.Pick 1 or 2 and Kreuzer is not a bad deal.
It's a good deal for both teams due to GWS' need to trim salary, get another quality veteran and get a top 2 pick next year.
Shiel and Setterfield will be close to, or over the million that GWS need to shed.That doesn’t make a huge dent in salary reduction. Shiel on about $650k and would need to pay Kreuzer about $450k.

GWS are losing Lobb and Shiel to avoid being massively in breach of the TPP. They can't add Kreuzer surely?GWS should be going for a Pruess/Roughead/Longer/Ceglar - wouldn’t waste time on Kruezer - surely he ain’t leaving the Blues.
I doubt Kreuzer gets traded, but I wouldn't rule it out.
Talk on the Carlton board is that SOS is open to any decent offers; not just the usual due diligence that every club would go through but that SOS wants/needs to get his hands on more picks and could be active in cashing in assets (as he has been the last few years).
I figure you don't trade for Kreuzer unless you are in premiership mode and a mature ruckman is a 'final puzzle piece'. I can see the logic in GWS and have also read (somewhere?) that Geelong are interested.
I don't want to trade him, but for argument's sake; He's contracted for 2019, would be on ~$450-500K next year and might want a contract til the end of 2020 on similar money.
Ignore all the noise. Take Shiel out of the equation, ignore what picks Carlton, GWS, Geelong etc have. Let's assume he's given clean bill of health. Straight up, what do people think he is worth? I'll kick things off; pick around 35? That's better than what Nankervis and Witts were traded for (they went early 40s). Admittedly those guys were considerably younger but also less accomplished.
NOTE: Kreuzer is one of my fave Carlton players (I have #8 on my jumper). I'd rather keep him, but interested in views for ****s and giggles.
Well according to this thread one of Carltons best players the last 5 years is on peanuts.GWS are losing Lobb and Shiel to avoid being massively in breach of the TPP. They can't add Kreuzer surely?
I've always rated Kreuzer as the heart and soul of this Carlton team, why would you throw that away for pick 35?
29-30 years old is prime-time for rucks as well. Unless you're replacing him with Gawn or Grundy it seems crazy to give up a top 5 ruck.
Why those two when Vardy was pick 72 and cleaned them both up when it counted.I've always rated Kreuzer as the heart and soul of this Carlton team, why would you throw that away for pick 35?

Doesn't address the supposed GWS cap issues. GWS won't be bringing in another high salary.Contingent on him being over the heart issues, he'd certainly be a valuable pawn in any trade for Shiel or Setterfield and would immediately improve the GWS side.

youre getting confused. that was THIS year.Until he got INJURED and then had heart problems...….
2017Tell me a year recently that he hasn't spent a fair majority of it on the side lines.
Gawn had an average day.Why those two when Vardy was pick 72 and cleaned them both up when it counted.
There is no way he on 350kHe got no bites because Collingwood medicos said he isnt fit to play and SOS signed him for 1 + 2 contract. Year one was $350k.
Stop talking s**t.
