2007 AFL Draft Prospect: Matthew Kreuzer
Name: Matthew Kreuzer
Height: 199
Weight: 91
State: Victoria Metro
Club(s): Northern/Bundoora
AFL Positions:
Capable in the ruck or in the forward line. He probably spends more time in the ruck spot during his AFL career. Kreuzer has very good endurance so he won't need a lot of rest, but he will be more dangerous than many other ruckmen as he can go to a forward pocket instead of the bench.
Perfect Fit For:
He will be a great addition to any team and Carlton, who have neglected the ruck spot since Madden retired, need Kreuzer the most. It would instantly end their undersized McClokeland ruck idea of McLaren, Cloke and Ackland. Kreuzer would be able to develop along with their young group of onballers that includes Murphy, Gibbs, Blackwell, Bentick, Grigg and Walker.
AFLinsider.net prediction:
The top pick should always go on a big, and that should happen with Kreuzer going at pick 1. Josh Fraser and Jeff White both went at number 1 and have played in the AFL Grand Final, the team that drafts Kreuzer will also expect him to be a big part of a future Grand Final side.
AFL Fantasy Outlook:
The most likely destination for him is Richmond, Carlton or Melbourne. He would be the number 1 ruckman at Carlton which would be great for fantasy points. At Melbourne or Richmond next year he would play a secondary role to their veterans up forward and in the ruck, at Melbourne he would be behind Neitz and White while Richmond have Richardson and Simmonds. Trades, injuries and possible retirements could change things around but it looks like his best spot for fantasy points would be Carlton. Kreuzer is going to be very popular in fantasy leagues next season as he will be a cheap ruckman for the fantasy bench who will be expected to play many games during the year. Kreuzer will get a lot of hitouts, kick a few goals and collect a useful amount of possessions and marks around the ground and that should equal a large number of fantasy points next year.
