We tried to turn Kreuger into a defender not because he wasn't any good as a forward but because we didn't have any room for him in the forward line. Which is probably the worst reason to do that, so I can fully understand why he wants to leave.

Freddy leaving and probably Clark? Too old and now our youngsters leaving. Not looking good!
Why would we need to offer that much. Not even the most die hard Coll fans are asking for that much. Plus he is uncontracted after years in the system.
He’s going to Haw anyway the grapevine is saying. Stanley just got two years in the hope that either Neale or Tsp will be ready in year 4 to carry the lid as the number 1.

Has Stanley officially signed the extension because i know it's been reported we've offered 2 years but haven't seen anything to confirm it's been accepted
And while we may not need to offer that much to Collingwood, we could try to get something else back from them in the form a future pick but they need the points for this years draft - may be a bit of give & take to get a deal done

put him in front of Rohan...
I know he's taller and not as fast... but for the love of god... give him a chance.

Can't see much defensive pressure coming from Freddie.

Won us the game vs WB .
Also hard to be attacking with low as a snail ball movement.
Spot on Cats 09.. The only good thing about Esava he his a back up ruck, and I mean back up he gives the main ruck a spell...
Looking into next year , we have a few questions with this all.
1 Where does Blitz play? Does he play as a general around the ground and play as the back up Ruck?
2 Esava, he really needs to take the step up next year, he will be 24 and sooner or later the word potential has to finally has to stop being used and he has to step up?
3 Kreuger or Brander ( if we get him as we likely loose Kreuger )
If we play 1 of them, does that mean Esava doesn't play, and Blitz plays as the back up ruck and we play SDK in defence?
Myself I'd go 3, but I think Chris Scott will go with 2 in playing Esava... I just hope Esava finally comes and show us what we're all hoping.... As we have to remember he is 24 next year and there is no more excuses

He could have played some games last year instead of using Rohan/Danger as key forward and Cameron missed 10 games this year. We should have kept developing him as a forward. Not like Hawkins has that long left and not like Ratugolea was shooting the lights out.
An inevitable consequence of our first 22 strategy (backing the experienced players to cadge the cup). Club surely couldn’t be surprised.

He won't sit the year out. He's missed enough footy with Scarlo and Covid.

We keep hearing that Ratugolea is seen as heir apparent to Hawkins, but not sure we've seen anywhere near enough to suggest he's close to holding down the #1 forward role
If it's a case that they do see him stepping into that role in a year or 2, then I'd prefer to see them play him in that role in the VFL to see how he goes as the focal point up forward and if he can carry the attack
From descriptions of Brander (utility type but not a key position) with no stand out attribute - think he’d be behind Zuthrie, who has improved significantly, has nouce and play reading and is on verge of best 22.

Yes & no
When Cameron was out at the start of the year so was Kreuger who was battling a knee injury, and Cameron had been back in the seniors for a month before Freddie played his first VFL match for the season
When Cameron then went down midway through the season, Kreuger was out with his own back injury. He did return to the VFL a week after Cameron sustained the injury, but looks like they (coaches) wanted Kreuger to show he could back it up across consecutive weeks at VFL level before selecting him for the seniors
