What is this obsession with Kreuzer? Sounds like people want to chase a player just for the sake of doing 'something'.
He hasn't played football with any consistency since 2013, and even then he was a B grade ruckman. B+ at best.
There is nothing relevant (IE recent) to suggest he will be any better a recruit than Hampson. Just like Knights - it of a has-been all broken down with injury.
the obsession is outside maric we only have:
Soldo, Ivan (R)
Hampson, Shaun
Griffiths, Benjamin
Vickery, Tyrone
Soldo is a long shot. Hampson is a potato. If griffiths reaches his potential you would want him in the forward line promdinatly as to not break him.
Leaving only tyrone, who i like in the ruck, but has (massive) question marks still.
ideally, we would have a former #1 draft pick like kreuzer or a very high draft pick like nicnat, leunburger to replace maric. sadly they do not grow on trees.
Yes we need another ruckman. I feel I've been quite vocal about this for the last 18 months at least.
Doesn't mean I'm going to put a washed up, broken down, ex-no.1 draft pick like Kreuzer (who was at his best just a solid ruckman) up on a pedestal for us to aim the sink at. He's not even 'young' anymore - he's 26 and has played 100-odd games. Certainly not a basket I wanna put all my eggs in.
Soldo, who knows...
Hampson is a great tap ruckman, but nothing else...
Vickery hasn't been developed as a ruckman, which is a shame...
Griffiths is a pinch-hitter only...
McBean isn't a ruckman...
So we either need to get another cheap interim ruckman who can stay on the park, or a premier ruckman who can help us win a flag, and definitely a young bloke to shape up. Kreuzer is neither of these things. Cheap ruckman would have included Jonathan Giles, Stefan Martin etc. Young ruckman would have been Longer (who suggested that??? haha).
Throwing the sink at Kreuzer is sillier than suggesting Taylor Hunt is a better player than Grigg this year...
