The 2017 Rolling All-Australian Thread

[Mr_Plow]

Imagine if a team had both Garlett and Betts. Wow, you'd hold onto those two.

Elite indigenous small forwards are pretty easy to find (for Carlton).

We've got one developing waiting for his turn currently.

 

[Substance]

Bontempelli not even close to AA at the moment. Can't even believe he is in the discussion.

He was a lock 2 weeks ago. I think he's having his best season yet.

What's the point of finding and developing them to give away for free?

 

[GordonBlue]

I know I sound like a broken record, but boy I am happy with Matty Kreuzer. Another stellar game. Not one below average game all year. Was superb today.

Now to wait for Eagles fans to come on here and scoff and laugh

Because they were not Mick's boys. He destroyed our team

Salient point.

The former coaching and recruiting department were feeling generous and incompetent.

Fear not, SOS hath arrived.

Who will you be recruiting from GWS this year?

I recommend Shiel and Kelly. Absolute jets.

Always thought Kruezer was abit of an underwheming player until today (admittedly don't watch many Carlton games). Along with Gibbs almost singlehandedly got Carlton across the line.
I haven't seen Goldy obliterated like that pretty much since ever. Absolutely destroyed him. Even though Todd is a shadow of what he was a couple of seasons ago, he ain't no slouch in the ruck. Kruezer absolutely pantsed him today.

 

[ahhhhhh]

Oh god here we go.

Not in anyone's teams for a good reason buddy. Good player, heading in the right direction, who may even take a different gong if he can keep it up, but very little chance of AA given who he's up against.

Please stop

Why? Melb took Watts ahead of NN. Kreuz always been a talent, staying on the park was the issue.

By Eagles fans I think you mean Sweet Jesus.

I haven't paid much attention to the rucks this year. Gawn injured, Goldy down, NicNat out...

 

[RudyBlue]

I recommend Shiel and Kelly. Absolute jets.

I too would like to express my affection for these two football players

 

[Mr_Plow]

Who will you be recruiting from GWS this year?

I recommend Shiel and Kelly. Absolute jets.

Shiel will be a FA target when his contract expires in 1-2 years, no need to give up assets atm.

Kelly will be too expensive.

One or both of Hopper/M. Kennedy, need another mid STAT.

Unrelated to thread, but I really hope they remove FA compo before the 2011 draft class reaches FA status. GWS won't go down for a very long while.

I was critical of Kruezer earlier, but one of the few rucks who appears to be getting better as the year goes on. As good a chance as any for the position at the moment.

In related news what's the go with goldy at the moment? Is he playing injured?

TBH, he looks like he's moving towards simply being cooked.

A little early considering his age (he's only 29), but he's had an extremely heavy workload over the journey, especially for a big bloke.

On his current trajectory, I wouldn't be surprised if he's done by the end of 2018.

 

[juss]

Love the big Kruz. Definetely a contender for the ruck spot. Not the strongest in the ruck but he adds so much to the contests around the ground.

 

[GordonBlue]

No idea why, it's just been the case the moment Kreuzer's name was uttered in this thread a few weeks back (when he cleaned up Grundy whilst Grundy was in everyone's team).

I still think Ryder will get the gig and there are definitely better tap ruckmans out there, but I am glad finally other supporters are acknowledging Kreuzer's season so far.

Funny thing about NN, our recruiting manager actually said at the time NN was picked up (had he been available the year earlier, we would have selected him over Kreuzer).

There were a few more. Sweet Jesus was the loudest and most condescending (plus other fans as well)

I actually think he's been great all year. I don't think his form has dropped at all. It is no surprise the only game we got absolutely pants is the game he was missing with injury.

He's certainly worth a mention.

Ill give Kruezer the W against Grundy, but it wasnt the clean up you are making it out to be. Grundy still managed to find 17 disposals and have 30 hitouts. It wasnt as if Grundy was completely ineffective.

He was though. He was very ineffective and turned it over several times. He was outworked and defensively he was poor. Not saying that was all Kreuzer's doing, but he was very much below par. Whilst Kreuzer was close to best on.

 

[Nunez]

Beams and Zorko will surely be in consideration. Same with Rockliff if he keeps his form going.

 

[Sando22]

Jared Polec has been the best wingman in the comp this year

Can't argue with this!
Only seen him a couple of times and has looked great!
Is he a by product of the side doing well or is he one of the big reasons for the dramatic turnaround in form from Port?
