I see in Kreuger a courageous tall goer with great ethic and who can kick long and leap high.

I just wish he was go-to reliability overhead, less cumbersome and a helluva lot less injury-prone. But he's not.

I love that he attacks his marks. I just wish he wasn't so counter-productively awkward, uncomposed and poorly balanced in doing so, had better marking judgement, and didn't have such hard hands.

He's not quite 25yo so perhaps he'll be a late bloomer tall and make me eat my words.

However, while many deem him a really unlucky talent (esp KF) likely to significantly improve our AFL team if only he could have much better luck with injuries, I see a decent contributor at VFL level whose unbalanced ungainliness is not only likely to make him uncompetitive against even half-decent marking KD's but is a prescription for sustained periods of injury.
