Player Watch Nathan Kreuger (Delisted 2024)

[No SPIN]

My simpleton view is that as a modern defender you are expected to take marks and rebound consistently. Kreuger being expected to do anything consistently is a cause of concern for me.

As a forward if he marks even half the balls which come his way he’s doing brilliantly, providing he’s also smashing guys in the process. I think that’s something he potentially can do.

He needs to add discipline to his game, and understand when to go/stay especially as a defender.
If he can do that, I think his athleticism makes gives him potential at both ends of the ground, but I’d like to see him trialed down back.

Train him up as a wingman

Did you mean Swingman

Do they still use electric shock therapy, maybe he just needs a short, sharp jolt to re program his brain so he doesn't destroy himself at every contest

They do still use it. More for depression though. It's use for bung shoulders and general physical brittleness would be highly experimental - I say we give it a go.

How about solar panels strategically placed all over his body

How about solar panels strategically placed all over his body

To power the electric over hydraulic limbs that have replaced his fragile human limbs?

I think we should follow the route taken in this documentary:

You want him to move in slo mo and yell "Ning Ning Ning Ning ning" as he jumps?

I'm on board!

Slow mo is the key to reducing his injuries.

Come on down Kreugs.

Provide a contest
Don't kill yourself
And try last out a quarter or more.

"Just play him"

I'd bring him in just to catapult into May and injure him.

 

[domus]

He has to come in now. Frampton goes back and Freddy goes to the goal square. He kicked three in the ressies and even did okay in the ruck in the last term. It's now or never.

 

[windchimes]

Just play him

 

[Jen2310]

He did well in the vfl this afternoon. Almost took a pack out lol

 

[robertg22]

I reckon that's what would happen to Kreuger if we tried that haha

Gotta play him. He can ruck a little which means Billy goes down back where he belongs.

 

[northcotehead]

Going by recent history of our selection process, it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't get picked and we persist with bombing long to rovers.

 

[Pedro]

If he could cope with running through the banner. Whoever is the sub better be warmed up.

We got a middle distance swimmer to be our sub this week.

The cricketer experiment is over

 

[JLC]

It's time to unleash Kreugs.

But maybe have a tallish player as the sub lol

 

[SchuPie]

We need a guy that can smash / shatter packs, create contest, bring the ball to ground for our game plan to work.
Stay fit Freddie, that’s all you have to do in the 1s.

 

[whiskeytown]

Time to roll the dice on him

If he can’t play now… then admit he doesn’t have the body for AFL footy and delist at years end

 

[The Royal Sampler]

It's time to unleash Kreugs.

But maybe have a tallish player as the sub lol

The best time to unleash Kreugs is last week.

The second best time is now.

Agree. I was really surprised we went with Johnson over Kreuger for last night's game.

Kreuger is excellent at providing an absolute war of a contest any time the ball is in his vicinity. The opposite of Johnson. AJ should never be asked to he a key forward again, his only chance is as a third tall.

Especially against Lever and May next week, we need Freddie to be able to stop them from taking marks in the backline and bring the ball to ground.
