Player Watch Nathan Kreuger (Delisted 2024)

[TradeDraft]

Obviously we have to pick him out of need,because we’ve literally run out of talls to play.Let’s just hope his shoulders hold up,for one match at least.

Only Tall we have left that could play is Kelly and he not even up to it at VFL Level

 

[HFF]

Really hoping he can turn the corner and stay healthy.

 

[sr36]

Hopefully he can bust their 2 ruckman in half as well

Don't tell him to break stuff or he will. Unfortunately himself.

 

[Gone Critical]

He is a bull at a gate and creates hope but I think we need to give him time. His CV remains sparce. One full AFL game for Collingwood, 37 career disposals, 5 AFL hit outs in total, ever.

Coming off 2 shoulder surgerys with virtually no ruck experience and hardly any games we would be kidding ourselves to expect him to match Draper and Phillips. Breaking even or a little less would be outstanding.

I don't think he'll even ruck, except for a few minutes. Just need him to provide a contest when we bomb it forward.

I don't think he'll last the four quarters if he cops a decent bump. It's so sad given his attack on the ball and athleticism he could be a handy addition.

I think Draper and Phillips would snap Krueger in two if it came to a physical contest. Draper ragdolls genuine ruckmen.

That’s the spirit…

Accurately predicting the timing of his next injury would require a pretty good crystal ball.

Not really. I don't think he has played a complete 4 quarter game at senior level without injury intervening.

 

[DERKADERRR]

I'll be happy if he gets through the game and kicks a goal or two. Only had one match to prepare after a long layoff, so not expecting much. Good luck Kroogs!

Just checked it out. He played 1 full game which he got through. 2 where he got injured. 2 as sub where he survived and then a practice game where he knocked himself out in the process of getting suspended. BUPA refusing his request for medical insurance means nothing.

 

[rand corp]

He will give his all, But I just hope that translates into a competitive game and not another injury.

He may well never get another injury in the next few or more years.
That's football.

 

[swoop42]

Well, if he does go down tomorrow I hope he takes a couple of those Essendon bastards with him.

 

[unplugged]

Tomorrow is the day we finally get to see why the club rates him so much.

ANZAC medal.

 

[Black_White]

Good player, crueller by injury.
Like Lee Walker.
I understand that he is rushed in because of dire need.
But here’s his chance to make his mark.
Will be hard as he is massively underdone coming up against a player I rate very highly.
Good luck big fella. I believe.

Why stop there, maybe even drop a date in the deadpool thread on GD ffs

 

[Wearmouth]

SR36 is bringing a bag tomorrow to collect his body parts at 3 quarter time.

Hopefully we play Frampton ruck and Kreuger down back. Less chance of injury than a forward.

I think he'll replace McStay forward and give Frampton an occasional chop out in the ruck. Share that a bit with Johnson.

 

[Bogsey]

While he didn't have a great game numbers wise, I think if we persist with him as a forward and relief ruck. We need the structure going forward. AJ, Checkers and Kreuger can be a good set up for us.

You could see glimpses of what he's capable of in this game. Had a couple of huge leaps for a man that size and can run. He needs more game time for better timing for those leaps. He'll be better for this run. Keep him in!

Thrown to the wolves today

Rusty af

 

[Nuffsaid]

Copping some lashing in other threads. Surely no one expected him to dominate today ? He was always a high chance to be rusty and that was a hot contest. He has some attributes and will take him over Kelly any day.
