50 goals a season not quite enough for a small forward?
Keep the ball rolling and lets throw in Yarran vs Alwyn Davey.
Carlton's Gumbleton.
Marc Murphy is the only other young fella to come close in my estimations.
Glad I'm not the only one.
After 3 seasons I rated the #1 picks:
Kreuzer > Murphy > Gibbs
Because he is the quiet, hard working type. Like Humphrey B Bear.
Just to clarify, I meant if you compared all 3 after each had completed 3 seasons.
Bit harsh the comparison. .
Kreuzer will never fall down the same pott hole as Scott Gumbleton.
Hirdy should've given Gumby the arse at the end of 2010.
Thread's a tad disappointing but I guess you get used to that on BigFooty.
I'm stunned some people seem to be putting him down on the fact he isn't dominating every game...yet he hasn't even turned 23/24 yet as a 200cm ruckman.
Carlton supporters absolutely love Kreuzer not because they think he's a 200cm Wayne Carey...but rather that he at least has a constant positive impact on our midfield, he's loyal and will always give you 100%. He might not be the most flashiest or lightning quick player around (he doesn't have a particularly great leap either), but he does have very good talent, and most of all he works as hard as anyone on field and off it and is just a great bloke.
He does have the potential to be a superstar in years to come but even if not, we're sure he'll give great service for many years and he's the type that will inspire his teammates around him. Very happy to have him.
Not on your own there with your amazment at the doubters of Kruezer. Rhys Stanley cops it with people suggesting hes finished. The blokes 200+ has proven pace and has finally tipped 100kg. The blokes basically need to learn to run and play again while at the same time put on bilk and keep speed and endurance.
Most AFL players take 4 to 6 years to establish themselves as stars of the competition.
The Selwoods and Judds are the exception not the rule.
Gary Ablett Jr. whom most rate the best if not equal best player in the league took 5 seasons to establish himself as a star.
Of the young crop, players like Pendlebury and Murphy are heading into their sixth season.
Has showed the signs that he could be a dominant big man in the AFL, if that takes another couple of seasons, I'm happy with that.
Rhys Stanley... well, what can you say about him. He can run fast for a tall guy. The end.
Some of you are being way too harsh. When have you ever seen a ruckman take the game by the scruff at 22?!
Dean Cox's first 4 years: 851 disp, 311 marks, 24 goals, 1335 hit outs
Kreuzer: 814 disp, 188 marks, 38 goals, 964 hitouts
Sandilands: 764 disp, 287 marks, 20 goals, 1756 (holy ****!!!)
Point is, not only does it take a while for ruckmen to get into, but every ruckman/big man plays a different style of game. Those stats are very comparable especially when you consider Kreuzer's ACL injury.
Simple really. Cotchin >>> Kruezer. Carlton got this pick wrong.
Tony Shaw last night referred to Kruezer as a "taller Adam Goodes"
I fail to see the similarities...
