Krakour the midfielder

[heartbroken]

Dont get me wrong...he is developing....however, I have my doubts whether he will ever become a midfielder. My reasons:

-He is more a flashy type player. I cant see him ever getting 25+ possessions. He comes in and out of the game.

-He has not got the body shape of a midfielder. He cant bust a pack open and is too easily pushed off the ball in contested spaces.

At best, I think he should play on the wing where he doesnt have to contest the ball ups

Looking at him I wonder if he has ever stepped foot inside a gym. If he got serious about his weights he may be able to take up a spot in the midfield.

If his body doesn't change drastically then I agree, the wing is as much of a midfielder as he will ever become.

play him on a wing as long as he produces the magic he has shown us

He's getting 12 disposals, 4 tackles and 1 goal per game. Lets hope he can produce a little more magic as time goes on.

i have no problems with him going in the middle provided he,s along side cogs and jonno.let cogs and jonno get the hard ball[both have the bodies] and let krak be the link.

cheers!

Krak is probably a burst player as a midfielder. I don't think he has the natural endurance to run on ball all day as some midfielders can do.

He has amazing skill at ground level and in close and should be used in bursts in the midfield.

Needs size or players will always bump him around.

Size aside, he is one of the most courageous players at our club (although I realise this probably isn't saying to much)

I've been saying this all along. KRAKOUER IS NOT A MIDFIELDER.

We must aim at deveoping him as a small crumbing forward of the likes of Milne at stkilda. He's proven he can kick goals. He cannot compete size wise against the best midfielders such as voss, black, j johnson, etc etc

Agree. It is an embarrassment on the rest of the list that at his size Krakouer is one of the more corageous players on our list. Pretty sure he leads the team in tackling as well this year,
