I think Kreuzer's best work is around the centre of the ground. Sharing the ruck with Warnock and rotating out of the forward pocket would make me much happier than sitting him at CHF with Warnock/Hampson doing most of the ruck duties.

So far all of his praise has been for his mobility, pickup and roving his own taps. Why change that? Sitting a kick behind and mopping up along our HF line or preventing the long bomb at HB would be great relief for our backmen also.

Centre clearances are the Blues biggest weapon. What better way to capitalise on that than by having our best ruckman being there to tap/rove/support in the centre?

i agree, we should try hampson forward.

The key attributes required of a gun chf is taking a mark, Hampson has a way to go to tick that box, the other key attribute is accurate kicking and Hampson has a way to go their too. Dont get me wrong, I am a Hammer fan, after only half a decade playing the game he is coming along beautifully, but Kruze at CHF and Knockers and Hammer in ruck is the go. I beleive that was the plan this year until Knockers got injured. It will certainly be the plan next year. Expect a 30-40 goal year from Kruze next year.
 
I think the future is Kreuzer in a CHF role. He has a great grab, love his kicking and his movement around the ground is going to make it hard for any defender to keep up with him, it will all only get better.

Though I like him and he may develop into a good ruck, Hampson wont kick 30 - 40 goals a year ever, no matter where you play him.
 
Kreuzer could play anywhere but it will largely depend on the development of Warnock and Hampson. Having thee really tall and mobile rucks is great for rotations both in the ruck, sweeping down back and being a target up forward.

I wouldn't mind us using Krezuer as more of an offensive weapon that can start closer to the back. M. Clarke does it, where he plays loose and gives a stack of run and also god defending skills.

Krezuer at the moment seems to be a tad lost as he can't stay in one spot. Just last night he was running around headless with a few seconds to go because he wasn't sure if he should run down back or zone up or man up or even push forward. Need to set a clear structure...
