Universal Love Kreuzer announces Retirement

[gandaal]

Sad day for the club

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

THIS IS s**t

 

[Baggers]

Heart and soul, bleeds Navy Blue blood.
Thanks for everything Matty. Well played.
Really hope the club can offer him a coaching role if that's the way he wants to go (and if our soft cap allows it).

 

[WFGodot]

What a star. What a character. Pity his body never let him show off his talents consistently. Much loved and will be missed.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I'm so sad we don't get a goodbye will post more when I get my head around one of my all time faves retiring

 

[BluStreak]

Kruez, thank you for all your wonderful service. All the best with your next adventure.

 

[Tjblues]

Feels like a big piece of the heart and soul of our footy club is gone.

No amount of respect is enough for kreuz. What a champion

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Gonna miss those 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th,... 100th efforts in the contest.

He left nothing at home when he took to the field.

He can retire with his head held high.

 

[blueboy25]

Sad, sad day. A much loved and respected player at our football club and universally liked around the league.

When we do get to lift premiership cup number #17 I would love for the big fella to be the one that hands it over to Teague and Cripps/Doc

 

[bluemahogany]

Not a player in my life time that showed more heart than Kreuz, absolutely gutted. Deserved to be sent off in front of the home crowd, hopefully they sort that out for next year.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Aww Krooz

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

All the best Matty, loved every minute watching you and it’s a shame there couldn’t be more. Club legend!

The phrase "Would want to be in trenches with him" epitomizes Kreuz !!

And his head is so hard the bullets would just bounce off!!

A WARRIOR of the finest order.

Always banged up and bandaged but never stopping forging ahead....
His robotic courage combined with his incredible follow up efforts could
not help but inspire and endear you to this beautiful bull of a young man.

The Doull comparisons are worthy ... You will be remembered as a great of our Club
during our darkest era and it is a great shame you will not be there as we come out of it .

Good luck to Matthew in his retirement. Terribly unlucky with injury but a good professional. Top bloke who will be missed around the club.

 

[hoddo22]

Pre knee he was on the way to being a truly dominant player. Post knee he was a warrior. 2017 showed what he was capable of. Not sure if you can teach heart but hopefully some of that quality has rubbed off on our young list.

You could see a bit of young Kruezer in TDK on Tuesday night. Excellent ground ball gets.

Thank you Humphrey. All the best in retirement.

An all time favourite of mine, got the number 8 on my first jumper shortly after he debuted. Love ya Kreuz, all the best post footy mate <3

 

[BIuebagger]

Determination, spirited and played for the jumper. A ruck who was mobile enough to damage midfields before the modern day where it’s become popular to have that ruck-type player. Sad day to see him finish up, gonna miss us all yelling Kreuzzzzz when he took a big mark or kicked a goal. I wish him the best for the future and glad he finished a one club player with us.

Matty.
I am so very sad at your retirement news.
My heart hurts.
You have been a big part of my life as a Carlton supporter.
Over many painful years, you always brought me happiness and uplifted my spirit when you played.
Always gave a 100%. Even when playing with injuries.
You lifted our team too. With your irrepressible spirit.
You are so loved.
Your persistence and resiliance is a lesson for all of us in how to overcome obstacles in life.
I wish you every success with your future career, knowing you will be a huge blessing for whoever you work with.
Thankyou so much for all the joy your playing gave me.

You will be missed.

Kruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

What a player. Actually felt a bit sad to get this notification. All the best Matt

 

[Revenant1965]

Surreal day and an end to an era with Kreuz and Gibbs both announcing retirements. Neither would have known the other's annoucement before today. All the best to both. It would've been great to see Kreuz again but know he will continue to contribute just by being the amazing and humble person he is

 

[myblueroan]

Heart and soul, bleeds Navy Blue blood.
Thanks for everything Matty. Well played.
Really hope the club can offer him a coaching role if that's the way he wants to go (and if our soft cap allows it).

Going into the building trade.

Very Big Nick like was Matthew, unfortunately his body never allowed him to reach those heights - hope the soft cap allows us to keep him on in a coaching capacity.

 

[KnightsBlue]

Very sad news. You will be missed krueze. Same with gibbs. Where has the time gone.
