Josh Krueger

Can someone tell me if Josh Krueger is still playing for Glenelg? I havent seen his name in the Glenelg league or reserves sides for weeks.

I don't think he is. I think he has gone back to Mt. Gambier (IIRC) and is playing footy there.

James - this was not one of finest moments. What were you thinking when you picked this boy at 29???? or thereabouts A first class dud.

Mt Gambier is about his standard.

I find that hard to believe for a simple fact that if he was to get drafted again, he would have to be registered with a SANFL club. Only in Victoria can a player be drafted outside the mainstream system (eg Amateur Leagues and Country Leagues). I am pretty sure this is the rule because James mentioned it a couple of times during his radio interviews.

An AFL club called him and just enquired as to how he is going.

I dont know the ins and outs of the system, but would he still be registered with the Bays?

I don't think he is registered with the Bays this year thats why I don't think he can be drafted this year.

Any Adelaide boy playing footy at West Gambier is on a good wicket. I used to play footy in Mount Gambier and the Roos had a group of about 8 players named "the fly-ins" that lived in Adelaide, but got flown down to the Mount each Saturday to play footy, all on good money. Some names I can throw at you that have suited up for West in the past few seasons are Andrew Ladhams (brother of chris) and Scott Fiora (brother of Aaron). It has made West more competitive after years of being on the bottom of the ladder, but its gotta be tough to win a flag with ring-ins as they don't always have the opportunity to train together. I think they are just outside the five at the moment. The "fly-ins" love it though, because they fly-in, play footy, pick up a nice cheque, get blind at the pub, bang some local chick at the major sponsors hotel, then fly-out Sunday back to 'normal' life in Adelaide. Its a sweet deal. Josh probably thinks so too!

Im pretty certain he started the year with the bays before giving it away part way through the season.

Correct. Played one league game, and about half a dozen reserves games before dropping of the face of the planet.

Fair call lads. I am wrong. There could be something to it then
