Yeah ...

if people think that we should get rid of him and not tivendale that is a massive joke ...

tivendale has been there longer then him and has done nothing ...

krakouer has more skill then tivendale would ever have ...

krakouer should be on an 1 year contract now ...

if he goes Tivendale should go ...
Precisely what exciting qualities  ::) has Krak shown in the last couple of years to warrant another extension of his contract.
FFS haven't we had enough pain?  He's sucked over $1 million out of our coffers for what?
NOTHIN!

Tivendale can kick 55m drop punts. Krakouer can't kick over a jam tin after 100 games. As MT says, his spot is taken. It's Edwards' turn.

He has been given more than enough chances to cement a place. Start of last season (2006) was looking ok but since then as done nothing.

He has to go to make way for the new tigers

Edwards has taken Krak's spot in the team. Pure FPs are a dying breed in the AFL which means the end for Krak IMO. Unlike Edwards, Krak doesn't have the engine to play AFL midfield.

Spot on.

He's finished as an AFL player.

Brian Royal's RFC player review

Andrew Krakouer

‘Krak’s’ only played nine games this year and kicked just six goals in those games, so he’d be really disappointed with the season he had. I guess when you’ve got games under your belt at AFL level he just did not do enough and could not consolidate himself. However, in saying that, he went back to VFL level and did really well, and certainly during Coburg’s finals campaign was outstanding.

Well you would say that wouldn't you, if you were trying to trade someone. Royal mentions that Kane Johnson had a big year both 'on and off the field';
an honest appraisal of Krak would've mentioned he had a very disappointing season, both on and off the field.

The problems in WA with the court case and all means no other club would go near Krak even if he did have some trade value. It's ridiculous that for an incident that occurred in December last year, no decision either way has been made yet. It hasn't even got to trial yet thanks to our inefficient and bloated legal system  ::).

Speaking of court cases,  Krak's one is coming up on Monday. Perhaps a reason we haven't announced our delistings yet.

Case won't effect Krakouer's future - Miller

Case won't effect Krakouer's future
By Sam Lienert
October 19, 2007

An ongoing court case involving an assault charge against Richmond's Andrew Krakouer will not affect the AFL club's decision on whether or not to retain him, according to Tigers football director Greg Miller.

Krakouer faces a charge of intending to do assault occasioning bodily harm, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years jail, over an incident in Fremantle, Western Australia in December last year.

The case will come before the Fremantle Magistrates Court for mention on Monday, when a trial date is expected to be set down for some time next year.

Also next week, Miller and Richmond coach Terry Wallace will sit down to discuss potential delistings. Krakouer, 24, who has played for seven seasons without reaching the heights hoped of him, is one name certain to be discussed.

But Miller said the pending assault trial would not have a bearing on their decision.

“I don't think it makes any difference either way,” Miller said.

“It's not being considered. He's being considered totally on his football, his ability to present on the footy field.

“He's been fantastic at this footy club, he's just grown from strength to strength over the years.

“I don't want to discuss the issue that's happening over in Perth but we'll support him, no matter what happens.”

Krakouer played just nine senior games this season, taking his career tally to 102, but only two of those came after round nine, as he spent most of the second half of the year in the VFL.

The court case hanging over his head might have been a factor affecting his form.

But Miller said it was likely that he would have to deal with the same issue if he was kept on in 2008, as the case could stretch on to the end of the season.

“He's got to go through the process in court, to go through the process in court it might be next August or September, I don't know how long it takes - these things don't get mentioned one day and heard the next,” he said.
