As per title.

Have we got enough cap for Kruze and Treloar?

Have we got enough cap for Kruze and Treloar?
We already had enough for Treloar, and the old farts retiring pay for Kreuz.

Only half of Newy's pay packet is counted in the cap #veteranlisted. I spose with Knights and Foley going it would free up enough though.

Be like a marriage Kruze & Cotch again :clapping best thing is the Scum will be down the bottom for years ;D
-
Kruze is free yeah?
-
Kruze is free yeah?
Restricted

Would have thought the Blues would force a Trade if he wants out. He's a restricted FA? So they'll match it, they've got the cap.

might end up with pick 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 if they lose him to FA
-

RFA but unlikely for Carlton stand in his way. Will probably be past it by the time they are ready to contend again and will take the compo.

Would be a very good pick up!!!!, rotating with Vicks and Ivan...whoa,..

Rd 1 2016
40 pts up in the 3rd quarter and he takes a mark in f 50 against his old club
krrroooooooooooooooozzzzzz
Bruce salvation everywhere "dellliiiccciiioouusssssssss" :shh

Need a ruckman, warming to this! Got to get someone that Bucks the injury trend eventually :pray
-
Be soooo good after all the crap I've copped from that tanking scum over the years.... Very funny!

:clapping

Could be a more important get than any other potential recruit mentioned..... :shh

Kreuzer, Yarran and Treloar . . . nice business indeed :cheers

Like stuffing whoa man.....now that's a three some we can all be proud of :shh

l remember Cotch & Kruze before they were drafted. They were a very powerful combination in the TAC. Very hard to stop them controlling the game they were that good together.
-
Pass, unless it means we arent stuck with Hampson next year which is unlikely given he is contracted.
Too injury prone just like the other melbourne fella who we nearly drafted.
Use the money on treloar and motlop and give hackson a rocket up his arse to find another ruck from the vfl. I would even rather minson for a year as back up if it meant we got motlop and treloar.
-
Kreuzer, Yarran and Treloar . . . nice business indeed :cheers
plus Motlop according to Ch 7.

I need to sit down

Who are Motlop yarren and treloar going to replace in our best 22 ? Massive hypothetical. I'd say Lloyd, lambert and Lennon. Getting all these 3 players would pee these guys off who have worked hard for their spots. More fun and exciting to watch our players we drafted develop and get better and better rather than just buying or poaching players. Just my take. my ideal trade / free agency period would be getting yarren or Motlop and a ruckmen. Not sold on Kreuzber due to injuries but the club will make the right call on that.
-
We need a ruck. Maric is 30 next year, he could retire at any time if he does his hips again. But kruezer is more injury prone. I really dont want to resort to Hampson but we may be forced to.

Pass from me
Agree with Angus, too injury prone
And to think we could have had Billy Longer, a young mobile ruckman and we didn't even try

After two years and nine senior games, Longer announced that he wanted to return to Melbourne to live, he said he missed his family and friends and sought a trade. He expressed an interest in playing for St Kilda,[2] and was traded, along with pick 48, for picks 25 and 41.[3]

We got Lennon in the 2013 draft, so would have been Longer for Lennon with our first round, but 2nd and third rounders did it. Unfortunately we got Hampsun instead.

The Trengrove saga was last year, Longer went at the end of 2013.

so like a lot of people on here saying kruzer be great ok so what does that mean for griffo ??? Kruzer wouldn't want to be sitting on the bench roatating with Ivan and before injuries griffo was keeping ty ut of the team. Hampson was just a back up if ivan went down ???? id be putting the money into the likes of motlop yarran trelaor and Dangerfield. They are what we need fast quick players that can hit the scoreboard don't forget if yah want kruzer well in all honesty liam might as well be traded then whats the point of him staying in the 2s for a third straight year???? :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

correct. i would love to know how people compare Kruzer to Griffiths? Both have achieved nothing and injuries have stalled them.
if kruzer and griffiths continue to be injured what then?

Why did gill have a go at Henderson of saying the truth?
What a flog

Just something to take into consideration.
Next year the sub will be wiped.
Reverting back to 4 players on the bench.
There was a time not so long ago when 2 ruckman were played.
Kreuzer would be perfect in this instance.
Would increase the versatility of our tall brigade substantially.

very true
But they are also going to reduce interchange cap down further from 120 to about mostly likely 80 maybe 90
Not sure that clubs are going to be look at playing an extra ruckman when the interchange cap is restricted to that level. More likely to play 4 mids on the bench I reckon

Bye jingoes he moves well does Kreuz
He does move well around the ground. Not convinced he wins enough effective hit outs. Seems to get out leaped a lot at the stoppages. Him and Wood are getting comfortably beaten by Downie today.
I'd be passing on him. He's injury prone and has to play primarily in the ruck to have an impact.

I expect him mind is not on the job as his sub conscious is fixated on his transfer saga with the impending move to the grand and mighty RFC :shh

Gee his playing a sensational game. 5 Yr deal for sure

We all know cotchin is orchestrating this transplant.

BOG last week
Coming back from knee injury probably be better after another preseason
He moves about twice as fast as Maric. Like an extra mid, pressure, tackles, can win it on ground

What do people want Goldstein and nicnat on the bench ?
It would be nice but they don't grow on tress
Our ruck division is not that packed, and if you wouldn't want to risk a McBean or Vickery in the ruck too much
Not sure if billy longer is the messiah

Not sure if billy longer is the messiah
No, but chances are he is going to become a good ruckman, he would of come cheap and he's still very young so you would think he would of hit his prime just as Maric would be retiring

If, as we expect, Richmond, the Bulldogs and Collingwood all have a crack at landing free agent Kreuzer, a 200cm mobile ruck-forward, on a contract worth about $450,000 - $500,000 a season ...

Collingwood could chase free agent Matthew Kreuzer to improve key position depth
Herald-Sun
September 7, 2015
CARLTON free agent Matthew Kreuzer could join Collingwood in a bold bid to bolster the Magpies big man stocks next season.
The Magpies emerged on Sunday as serious players for the 200cm ruck-forward after missing out on Geelong tall Mitch Clark late last year.
The Herald Sun confirmed the Pies’ strong interest in the No. 1 draft pick, who is set to leave Carlton in a move that could arm the rebuilding Blues with the top two choices in this year’s draft.
However, a formal Collingwood offer will hinge on stringent medical assessments of Kreuzer’s troublesome foot and reconstructed knee.
But with Hawthorn, Richmond and Western Bulldogs also circling Kreuzer, sources said the strong interest in the 26-year-old would likely drive his contract price up around that mark, despite his wretched injury history.
Carlton is believed to have taken its most recent offer to Kreuzer off the table.

-
If we give Kreuzer enough money.
The scum get pick one and two ...
*if we pay him enough money. Assuming we will, or he'd go to dogs , or something
-
I would take this guy, provided he can remain injury free and that is the 64 million dollar question..
-
Maric has 1 more year........get Matty. All we have to do is match the other offers and Cotch will get this across the line
-
Frankenkreuzer breaks down too much, he would be in the sheds getting fresh bolts in his neck spending more time down than Chris Knights.

Yeh step it the hell up Richo and Blair. Their should be absolutely no reason why Scumwood should be able to attract Adam and Matty to their Tip as opposed to us this year. We are flogging them onfield hence all we need to do is match them off-field and these guys should be ours.

if you want to live in the george bush land where thinking the recruitment of players with long injury history is fraught with danger somehow means you think another player is good, then good for you.

Yep Seriously. I no longer rate Hartley
Well aware of how difficult this "caper" is
Have said many times that yes Hartley has got certain things right at certain times but he has also made some absolute howlers (Hampson says hello & thanks).
IMV he has far too much say/involement in contract negotiations. I know people don't believe me but he is heavily involved in a lot of contracts and I dont' believe he should be.
People also know my views on stuff; copped a fair few whacks over time for those. But based on the criteria and list requirements given to him by "good old" Blair I reckon he's done OK.

According to Tom Browne on Ch 7 news tonight, opposition clubs have got Kreuzer to do a medical, with Collingwood being one of the clubs.

Richmond interested in Carlton’s Matthew Kreuzer
Herald-Sun
September 9, 2015
LIST chiefs and player managers have regular catch ups this time of year.
But Richmond list guru Blair Hartley had a special reason to have some brunch with ESP player agent Nigel Carmody in Richmond yesterday.
Out-of-contract Carlton ruckman Matthew Kreuzer is up for grabs and the Tigers are in the market.
Hartley and Carmody caught up at Richmond cafe 1000 blessings yesterday on the same day the Herald Sun revealed Collingwood’s strong interest in the mobile big man.
Carmody is Kreuzer’s long-time manager, and, after eight years at Carlton the No.1 pick is poised to leave Ikon Park in a move that could nab the Blues the No.2 pick in free agency compensation.
Carlton has already secured the coveted top choice after finishing last on the ladder on Saturday.
Talk about hitting the jackpot, Blues fans. Carlton list boss Stephen Silvagni would be ecstatic with their draft position.
The first two picks in this year’s draft will net them the best key position prospects in the land, key defender Jacob Weitering and Murray goal kicker Josh Schache.
Richmond is one of the interested parties in Kreuzer to help bolster its ruck support for ageing big man Ivan Maric.
But Hartley is highly regarded in club land and Richmond has made clear it won’t go overboard to snag Kreuzer.
Collingwood is believed to be the early frontrunner. But with the Tigers finishing fifth this year, ahead of Sunday’s elimination final against North Melbourne, Punt Rd would be an appealing destination, too, for Kreuzer.
He has played in two finals, in 2009 and 2013, but the Blues are in rebuilding mode over the next few years.
Then there is Fremantle, which is desperate for another goalkicking marking target.
Kreuzer is a free agent, so he would cost his new club nothing, other than his salary.
He is expected to attract offers in the vicinity of $500,000 a season and would earn the Blues Round 1 free agency compensation, in line with James Frawley’s move to Hawthorn last year.
But Kreuzer will begin stringent medical tests on his troublesome foot and reconstructed knee.
If Collingwood nabbed Kreuzer it could force burgeoning ruckman Jarrod Witts to find a new home.

To be honest Ive never been a big fan of Kruezer as a player. He has always seemed average to me but anyway.
-
Collingwood have emerged as the favourite to secure Carlton’s restricted free agent Matthew Kreuzer.
A four-year deal believed to be worth around $600,000 a season should be enough to secure Carlton the no.2 pick as compensation in this year’s national draft.

and what they are offering Treloar 700 ummmm please explain how :huh :huh
-
We should target Leuenberger….Has an important 4cm on him and can play a bit.

Yep
-
Greg Denham has told Kevin Bartlett on 1116 SEN that he believes Matthew Kreuzer will "100% be at Collingwood next year".

Is footy still happening? All I'm hearing about is about Collingwood and how every player in the competition are falling over themselves to get there.

Is footy still happening? All I'm hearing about is about Collingwood and how every player in the competition are falling over themselves to get there.
I so hope they have a bad season next year, with the exodus of players to the Pies Bucks will have nowhere to hide if they don't win at least a couple of finals. And yes the footy is still happening thank God, great time of year :gotigers
-
Barrett tonight on the Footy Show:
No trading of Kreuzer until Carlton know about the compensation pick they are getting.
Collingwood favourites but don't rule out Richmond on this one. They a very interested and Kreuzer is very close to Richmond skipper Trent Cotchin.
-
Ok great. Another head to head with the Fat Controller that we won't win
-
Can he jump anymore? will he be able to compete against the big ruckmen?
-
HOW MANY YEARS DOES HAM;PSON HAVE LEFT WITH US NEXT YEAR????
I guess if and the BIG IF it is kruser stays on the park he still has another 5 years left with him our back up ruck stocks like we say if maric goes down well were in trouble we want to be able to keep ty and griffo at home its a tough call but I wouldnt be paying overs on him
-
Ok we must beat the Pie scum in this one... :gotigers
Like I said before, Kruz, Aish and Bennell would be a very good pick up period for us.
-
It seems like Kreuzer has been offered up to $450k by the blues. He would have signed but Eddie McChin's mob offered way over that and has allowed Carlton to explore the option of a possible Band 1 compo.
-
COLLINGWOOD could pull out of the race to secure Carlton free agent Matthew Kreuzer this week in a serious blow to the Blues’ hopes of landing the first two picks in this year’s draft.
The Magpies have given careful consideration to Kreuzer but are believed to have cooled on the idea in recent days due to the strength of their own developing ruck stocks.
Kreuzer’s character and leadership strengths appealed strongly to the Pies, but the recruiting move posed a threat to the development and security of their other blossoming big men.
It would also force the Pies to restructure some of their current player payments to fit Kreuzer in the salary cap.
Carlton, Fremantle, Sydney and Greater Western Sydney remain possible suitors for Kreuzer, 26, but a lucrative and long-term contract offer from Collingwood now appears unlikely.

Collingwood out of race for Matthew Kreuzer

Matthew Kreuzer's failure to satisfy Collingwood's medical team that his body would justify the massive four-year contract the Magpies had put on the table appears to have had a domino effect across the forthcoming trade period.
The Magpies have withdrawn the reported $2.4 million deal put forward to the Carlton ruckman, a contract offer that had the Blues lining up for a generous compensation pick that could have become pivotal in the Magpies' Adam Treloar agreement. Kreuzer now seems almost certain to stay with the Blues.
Greater Western Sydney have also shown interest in Collingwood ruckman Jarrod Witts, who has insisted upon remaining with the Pies and is contracted. That insistence also played a part in the Kreuzer back-off.
Carlton have made two offers to Kreuzer this season and insist they want to keep their previously highly prized ruckman. The second, improved contract offer put to him was a highly conditional three-year agreement in late August. That guaranteed the 26-year-old about $1 million, but was worth significantly more should he play the majority of games over the next three seasons.
Kreuzer played 13 games in 2015 after managing just one last year.
The Blues believe Kreuzer was also tested by the Western Bulldogs and was unable to satisfy that club of his full fitness.

Yep, Im warming towards Martin now to. That would give us 2 Ellis's and two Martins... :snidegrin
-
im actually warming towards zac smith....
we clearly need need an upgrade in the ruck....
205cm...geta a heap of hitouts...
wants to be a first ruck...which he has a chance to do with us....
would cost less than martin too i'm sure.
-
Stefan martin is 29 years old ... you guys need to stop being so desperate to just bring anyone in. Our next ruck has to be around the 25 years of age mark so we can get 6 or 7 years out of him.
-
This might hurt our chances with Treloar. Id say we can match the 750k but would be surprised if we could or would go more.

Ok, didn't realise that, yep agree. Don't want a 29 year old.

So Sydney can come up with 10mill over 3000 years and we can't come up with 750K?? :shh

yep no need for martin specially if his got what 2 years left. smith was going to be the next big thing until he did his knee that's the only thing I worry about ruckman and knees just as so much contact etc

I like it, need a big brute of a ruckman who can at least give a serious contest against the likes of Goldy, natanui and Sandi

What exactly does a "medical test" consist of?

I'm not 100% sure but what ever we did to Trengrove last year put him out for the season!
I'd say our medicos would soon find out if there were any issues with Kruezer :snidegrin

I'm not 100% sure what these medicos do but I would imagine there would be a standard physical examination looking specifically at ligament laxity, range of movement of certain joints as well as general cardiovascular fitness. Then there are specific scans that can be ordered including MRIs of knees, hips, back and ankles. Of course the player would have to complete a range of football tasks like running, kicking, marking and hand balling under some pressure situation too.
-
Just something to take into consideration.
Next year the sub will be wiped.
Reverting back to 4 players on the bench.
There was a time not so long ago when 2 ruckman were played.
Kreuzer would be perfect in this instance.
Would increase the versatility of our tall brigade substantially.
Kruzer has failed 2 fitness tests, you would be better signing up recently delisted Tony Abbott, didnt you learn anythi g from the Hampson disaster?

can they do a medical on harvey, ballantyne and goodes?
does one out of these three being black make me racist?

I have walked down the main Street of Coober Pedy, drank in the main public bars in Ponsonby, Harlem and Whenuapai and I can assure you blacks are racist as well, so no, you are not a racist, we are pretty wound up about it in Australia and really have no concept of it.
These political do gooders have no idea.
Personally I am a lover not a hater and non racist. Adam Goodes has been a tool as was Richard Hadlee and I am from The land of the wrong white crowd, If you are an idiot you get booed, game over, build a bridge, get over it.

that was a pee take/wind up, but i agree. i have come across some true racists and these pricks that carry on with their pc crap would crawl up into the foetal position, suck their thumbs and hum kumbyah if they heard what these people had to say.

I discriminate against political correctness and those who blindly apply it.
