Would you give up Dunkley and Collins for him?
He was a Free Agent - note the word Free.;)

I still wouldn't have wanted Kreuzer. Odds are he breaks down again.

I still have hopes BTC and Rough could turn out ok and think that people could be writing them off prematurely.

BTC is nowhere near as good as Kreuzer. You selling him massively short by even comparing them. A fit Kreuzer is top 5 rucks in the league.

Mentioning two players in the same post is not necessarily saying one player equals the other.

Sure a fit Kreuzer is better than our rucks at present. But then Kreuzer always needs the 'if he is fit' rider. Why? Because the poor bastard is chronically injured and reportedly failed medical(s) at clubs in the last trade period - meaning he stayed at Carlton.

In trade terms Kreuzer was free - free! And still no one wanted him

I think you are overrating Kreuzer massively. Not because of his footy ability - that is indisputable - but because of his inability to get on the park.

Ahh I'm pretty sure both Collingwood and us wanted him.

Kreuzer playing 14 - 18 games in 2016 would make us a far better side. He would have solved a lot of problems as he is exactly the type of ruck we need and he is mobile enough and good enough to play as a lead up forward.

Look I don't have inside word so I'll rephrase the fact that Kreuzer remains at Carlton means no other club wanted him enough

It's all very well to say Kreuzer would make us better if he played 14-18 games. How can you be sure he would? How can you be sure the games he misses aren't finals?

I'd much rather get games into BTC (who I have confidence in) and Rough (although my confidence is diminishing)

If they don't work out by all means recruit a durable ruck end of season.

With Blues and Bomber are Chasis both Gws pair Whitefield,Tomilsion we should blindside the opposition club by making play on Tomilsion get him to commit to us this would help Cramer to play the same role he played last and time switch role for period time during game it would cause massive knightmares for club for match up during the game .

Perhaps, but my understanding is that he's over his major injuries and that he's set for a good year. Which will piss me off.
