Nathan Kreuger set to make AFL debut with Geelong

Exciting swingman Nathan Kreuger is set to make his AFL debut with Geelong when it takes on North Melbourne in Hobart on Saturday.

EXCITING swingman Nathan Kreuger is set to make his AFL debut with Geelong when it takes on North Melbourne in Hobart on Saturday.

Kreuger has performed strongly at both ends of the ground for the Cats at VFL level but has found a home down back, which is where he will spend most of his time against the Kangaroos.

The 22-year-old, who comes into the team at the expense of Irishman Mark O’Connor (knee soreness), only found out he was playing at the same time as his teammates and showed his humility by saying it was an unexpected call up.

“We went out to do a captain’s run and did the normal thing and then we came in and all of a sudden it was ‘all right everyone get in’ and then ‘Kreugs, you’re debuting’ and everyone went wild,” Kreuger said.

“It was a bit of a surprise and all the boys got around me which was even better, so it is exciting.

“I reckon I will go to a key, either at full back or centre half-back, and do a job on whoever Scarlo (backline coach, Matthew Scarlett) wants me to do. I reckon it will probably change from quarter to quarter, or even half to half, but I am just happy to be in there and playing a role.”

At 196cm, Kreuger has long been earmarked as a key position prospect for the Cats, but after impressing as a forward before moving into defence and then performing strongly there as well, the main question that has lingered around him has been where he will ultimately find his spot in the team.

That's great but how about watching the actual game, he was bad as a defender that's why he doesn't play there and no club puff piece will change that fact, club wants to get better not worse.

Im getting the feeling you dont rate Kruegs as a defender?

 

[Carlthetruth]

I'm not FOS mate I worked for the Catters whilst Kreugs and Obee were at the joint. Athletically and at training he looks OK but as soon as there's an opponent he's just lost in defence and his awkwardness just makes him a liability back there. On several occasions his eyesight was questioned because he would just run into the backs of other players. No peripheral awareness.

You sir are on the money, thanks for providing some guidance to a misguided soul.

Just caught up on 4 hours of this thread... and it was only 2 pages. Wow.... this is November pace!

Surely not a full packet?

So, half a pack left over from last night's party with a few damp ones?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Half eaten & stale.

 

[Stuart1966]

Riley Bonner maybe?

No play Parker

 

[nahnah]

No play Parker

100% rather play Parker over Bonner

 

[CPH12]

Kennedy is the one I’d love to get. Losing Adams and Mitchell being out most of the year was telling. Need someone to protect Nick and Ed. He should be a priority signing for little draft capital we’d need to give up.

Yeah I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk. Perfect fit for mine.

 

[CPH12]

I believe anything is worth a shot. Most defenders are failed forwards. Pies for some reason are reluctant to make such moves. Rory Lobb was likely to have been at a new club this off season, if not for a move to CHB made out of necessity. Because he was an inconsistent forward who had trouble finding the ball. I for one have been hoping that McInnes is trialled off HB

Not sure we are that reluctant. Moore, Howe, Reid all failed forwards.
Agree though would like to see Reef and potentially Johnson tried at half back.

 

[TradeDraft]

They put us in the headline but barely mention us in connection to any of these defenders lol

He Retired

They can come out of retirement..

Not that I'd be interested.

He was an average player at best, and his best footy was at Adelaide. The fact he was a mainstay in Essendon's team says more about Essendon than it does Kelly.

Think he was going into a career outside of footy.

It always irritates me when Moore is referred to as a “failed forward”. His record playing as a young key tall statistically actually sits favourably compared to other very good key talls at the same age. He’s an excellent intercept defender, but I have little doubt that if he’d been given the opportunity he’d have been a very good key forward, and if his body had been able to cope with it, and absolutely elite forward/ruck.

That happened a couple of years ago.

Moore didn’t fail as a forward he was just a AA backman so played in his best spot, besides bucks didn’t really know what he was doing and Darcy kept getting injured.

 

[JLC]

Josh Sinn straight swap for Richards.

I am sure Sinn is from the same year as Nicky D. There was a Sandy v Oakleigh game at Rsea Park and Sinn absolutely killed it for Sandy and they beat Oakleigh.

Who says no to the deal?

 

[BEEG]

Absolute gift getting most of that Grundy contract off the books.
