Not in a hurry to sign an extension... wants to see how it looks at years end..

To be honest thats the right call for him and the club..given his injury history need to see him fit and playing for the next 6 weeks to adequately assess his value. I expect he will stay.

Those that have no real skin in the game can cast aspertions... you are correct of course ..yet standby for a melt if he decides to move to the Crows as uncontracted player etc. Everyone is an expert on what everyone else should be doing.

Are the Crows linked with him?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Are the Crows linked with him?

No one is linked to him. Think the injuries turned clubs off. Plus the crows have drafted a few kpds coming through with their young group. Not sure they'd be running out to get him.

 

[Turbocat]

Are the Crows linked with him?

No... my point was only that as an OOC player ...that he could go elsewhere...just like Crows did last year with Hatley... and then someone would gripe...why didn't we have him signed.

I would take him at Port. Would cost almost nothing and we need more young KPDS. All of ours are over 25

After today his price may have gone up

That's if we don't put a new contract to him

Reckon he might be pushing hendo out real soon

 

[Wojcinski]

He didn't play a blinder on debut, but he certainly looked comfortable at AFL level. Very excited to see him play more in the future.

Id be surprised if we do not put a contract to him.

Has the defensive capabilities at senior level I think and if he translates his vfl rebounding work to afl we have a serious player here. Just needs the body to hold together.

One game of course , and its alwasy difficult first game in. The other guys give lip service to trust but gradually they see and real trust builds. Would be borderlin reckless to go rebounding today.. play him again next week , give him another against a different opponent. One thing about the AFL as a backman, every week you play on someone who can burn you


Downside.. there would be a couple of side s now that look at that and see a guy who is cheap and OOC

After the patience through injury we've shown him I'd be a bit aggrieved

You both don’t understand how much I love this

We love our Geelong defenders

And Hendo is year to year at best. Even now...

Are you sure?

The way Dwayne was carrying on I thought it was Jakovich.

Must have been the best 7 possession game of all time.

Gotta look past the stats..
but i understand why people use that as a metric.
If he plays like that and averages 12... I’ll take it

He played in the best defensive group in the league, with multiple spares around him. Anyone would look good in that line up.

Kreuger is a strong, athletic and aggressive defender. He has some talent and hopefully becomes a serviceable defender. Certainly won't be a star, maybe a Ben McKay level defender who is great defensively but offers very little offensively.

Not really. We've played kids in better set ups who have looked worse.
