Krooz is not a forward

Can't play him on ball for 120 minutes; probably would be able to extract 90 out of him in that capacity. Drifts forward well but needs to learn to be a resting forward option consistently to get the most out of both he and a player like Casboult.
Has done ok out of the square on occasion, but needs to improve his overhead marking. Sadly the techniques for good ruckwork and good marks are almost directly opposing to one another.
Thanks jimmae.
Kreuzer becomes a big target and straightens us up like Casboult does.
Has presence. He's a straight kick too...mostly.
I'll leave the empirical evidence to BKB on Kreuzer.
We need a midfield group that will get the ball forward.
We did that 33 times in 120 minutes of footy last night...barely making the arc just like last weak numbers were weak yet flattering. The delivery was random.
..thanx bondi.. ....like bolt, krooz will lead straight and hard at the kicker.. ..but he isn't a good overhead mark, not many ruckman are.. ..as I was saying years ago, like jimmae agrees, ruckwork opposes marking ability.. ..if krooz can ruck, you let him ruck.. ..as much as he can handle when fit.... ..the drive he gives us from the middle, and the way he plays sets the tone for his follower's.. ..the idea he is too short to be a modern ruckman is bollocks, look at mummy in the ruck, and he is 198/199..
..but there's a good chance the club broke krooz.. ..once again, wait and see if he can comeback from the busted foot.. ....but even if he does come back and does improve his forward craft, resting ruckman are the bit on the side to the forward structure.. ..bolt being expected to be one of the two main forwards won't work, because ruckman are part time forwards by virtue of their role.. ..you need two full time key forwards so the rest of the team can have synergy with hem.. ..players popping in and out of their are not to underpin the forward line..
