His playing for peanuts so you'd think they'd keep him as insurance
have him in the VFL working with the kids. Strong VFL side bodes well for the Seniors (literally seniors 
)
Even there though I'd want to be seeing Kreuger start to dominate vfl rather than compete for space with a guy who is insuranceHis playing for peanuts so you'd think they'd keep him as insurance
An accountant would say we're overcapitalised on insurance
Late pick ruck would be the list spot I'd be replacing him with
That escalated quickly
Would undoubtly deserve one , be a solid argument that he deserved one before this trade period anyway
bring in the grandfather/son rule lol, less of a joke than the academies the Sydney clubs getI dont think so GCL... I think he is a flat spare tyre.. Hawkins only ..
I have mention Shannon Neale a couple of times.
JJ..has had his go , to be honest id rather have a grandson of a club champ on the list...
Geelong Grammar student Ollie Lord looms as exciting AFL draft prospect
The grandson of a Brownlow medallist has been rated as one of the top tall forwards in this year’s draft pool — and it would continue a trend of Geelong grandfather-grandsons reaching big football.

Geelong is famous for its father-son connections.
Think Ablett, Hawkins and Scarlett. There’s also nearly enough offspring coming through to fill a senior and reserves team.
But its grandfather-grandson links are also providing top talent.
Exciting prospect Ollie Lord looms as the third grandson from Geelong’s 1963 premiership team to be drafted.
His grandfather Alistair won the 1962 Brownlow Medal in a 122-game career and played in the Cats’ flag the following season.
He would go on to play and coach in the Hampden league, including best-on-ground honours in South Warrnambool’s one-point win in the 1969 decider.
It had been a while since the pair had caught up because of social restrictions.
“He’s grown a bit,” Alistair remarked, as he took a seat at Geelong Grammar, where Ollie is completing his Year 12 studies.
“It’s been about seven months and I think I’ve grown about 2cm and put on three to four kilos,” Ollie replied.
Ollie’s now about 197cm. He would have towered over Polly Farmer in Alistair’s day.
“Polly was only 6’2.5,” Alistair said.
Alistair, 80, was a champion midfielder and Ollie is developing key-forward.
AFL talent ambassador Kevin Sheehan recently rated him among the best tall forwards in this year’s draft pool.
“Athletic tall forward who has shown very good ability overhead using good body positioning to launch at the ball or hold his ground,” Sheehan noted.
“Had an impressive training stint at Melbourne over the pre-season as part of the NAB AFL Academy accelerated development program.”
Melbourne is one of a dozen clubs to have interviewed the Caulfield Bears junior.
There was a lot to like, including his high marking, Alistair said.
“He leads quick, he positions his body well, his kicking — I always told him you’ve got to be able to kick both left and right and handball each side of his body,” he said.
“It’s like all young fellows, he could get the opportunity and he could not.”
Former Sandringham Dragons mentor Josh Bourke recently caught up for a kick with Ollie and said “he’s really becoming quite imposing”.
i think they dont make a call on this until they know what the list size is for next year
