Cotchin or Kreuzer

[AngryAnt]

Assuming his body isn’t completely rooted I’d look at taking him as a rookie for ‘21. With Mate Culina not coming til ‘22 and Ivan out for ‘21 we need a ruckman for 1 season.

his body is completely rooted, hence the retirement. You could get him as a ruck coach maybe but he's not coming back.

I was amazed to read that Kreuzer had played 189 games. He seems to have had so many injuries.

I feel it for him. I reckon he was made to play too much too soon at the Blooze. Rucks need time to build up the battle scars needed to bash and crash with the older bodies. I'm sure their issues with their list forced their hand but still. I reckon they shortened his career by several years.

And are doing the same to Cripps

Spot on.
100% lets get our doc's to check him out.
Money talks offer him a deal.
Preuess would suit our game style more. Crash and bash.
Let's go after ladhams or Obrein.
It would be nearly impossible to see players knocking back offers to play for us. Especially playing alongside Castgna and maybe Martin would be huge incentives to move.
Lets off load and bring in 2 or 3 that keep us at the top...

Yes, definitely need an ok 2nd ruckman for next year....don't care you it is. Qtrs will we extended beyond 16 mins. Potentially more H&A games (even up to 28!), No Soldo for 2021. No CCJ for the first 4-6 matches (suspension). Nank with long-term injuries in both 2019 and 2020 so some doubt on him playing a full season in 2021. Even if he does play all of 2021 he will be rooted doing it by himself.

I woz trickin !!

Cotch 245 games 136 wins 3 draws 106 losses - 2 Flags , 1 Brownlow etc
Kruez 189 games 78 wins 0 draws 111 losses

I'm surprised Kreuzer played that many games

Would be great if we could get Cotchin to 300 games

he deserves to be a 200 game player
