It's Over. Kreuzer fans, enjoy.....

[windows]

Carlton has settled on Kreuzer, but recruiting manager Wayne Hughes is still keeping his cards close to his chest.

"It's not common knowledge at all because I haven't told anybody," he said.

"I have made up my mind but at our final meeting this week I will explain to our people how the decision has come about and we will tell them what our final verdict has been."

Hughes conceded the club's recruitment of Judd had filled a major hole that might have seen the club favouring midfielder Trent Cotchin.
"I never expected to be picking at selection one and the rules left us with the pick," he said.

"Before trade week we lacked a real key midfielder, and after trade we had one. We had a good centre half-forward in Josh Kennedy, and now we haven't got one.
"All of those things go towards the decision-making process."

Most times you with the best player occasionally you go with need. 12 months ago, given the same choice, I'd have gone with Cotchin. Also, if we had gone Leuenberger instead of Gibbs last year I'd have gone for Cotchin this year as well. Now we have Judd, Stevens back, and with the further development of other midfielders, this time I went with Kreuzer. If I were and Eagles supporter I'd be going for Cotchin given the loss of Judd and Cousins, not to mention their decent ruck strength. It ususally comes down to taking the best player with you first pick (I think that's Kreuzer anyway but that's opinion) but sometimes too it's 'horses for courses'.

If we pick him. I hope we are all on the same page and are Kreuzer fans.

Of course we will all be Kreuzer fans. Just as last year there were several Hanson and Leuenberger fans who I'm sure now are 100% behind Gibbs.

I for one will boo him if he doesn't get a kick though. Just kidding.

I wouldn't rule Cotchin out just yet. I'll wait until 10:01am this Saturday.

Good !

It will all be Kreuzer….. Time to face the facts!! We have just the right number of mids now (thanks to our off season dealings and Stevens coming back).

We need the big man to develop into a KP forward now that Josh has left and Fev is already 28!!!

I wouldn't rule out calling the wrong number to go with the name which makes the pick invalid IIRC.

 

[TorresIsGod]

I wouldn't rule out the number that I was drafted with being called out, and my name being read as I would easily be the #1 in this draft, all drafts before it and after it.

Agreed with Banno's comment, he's a smart man, and a gun footballer

I think you are mistaken ODN. That would happen at Richmond.

its not over until Caroline Wilson sings... and she's been awfully quiet lately???

Is that you Wayne?? All this time I was bickering with you, if only you had of pm'ed me

Lets not make this into a 'we win, you lose' situation. When the selection is made I think we can all be satistified that we've got a good player on our hands, regardless of which of the two that might be.

Perhaps if we distract the other teams by yelling out random numbers as they're making their selection we can get ALL the other teams to make invalid selections then we can end up with Kreuzer at 1 and Cotchin at 36?
