Kangaroos Could Add Two Krakouers
If there was something that was guaranteed to entertain the Kangaroos supporters of the 1980s it was the Krakouer brothers. Phil to Jimmy for a goal was a highlight of every game. This can’t be replicated exactly, but it would not be a bad idea to try.
Andrew Krakouer may be traded by Richmond. Like a lot of forwards before him in yellow and black, he hasn’t been able to team effectively with Richardson and get the Tigers into the finals. There are rumours of Krakouer leaving and the Kangaroos could be where he goes.
Nathan Krakouer, a cousin of Andrew, will be drafted this year. His predicted spot is anywhere from the second round to the last round. Krakouer is quick, and tested very well at the draft camp, and he also has experience at various levels of football. Not many people can say they captained a team that played in front of Archbishop Tutu in South Afrrica. Krakouer was listed at 182cm and 62kg for the Under 18 Championship games, so he will need a bit of time in the gym.
Richmond are interested in Polak but need to clear some money, trading Andrew Krakouer for a draft pick would help. Another option is Joel Perry, who has been linked with a trade to Richmond from the Kangaroos.
The Kangaroos probably can get Nathan with pick 37 in the draft, or at pick 21 they would get him for sure.
The Kangaroos have Thompson at full forward but they need some smaller players around him. Andrew Krakouer could play in the forward pocket, and he would improve on his 19 goals he had last season for the Tigers. Nathan Krakouer wouldn’t start right away but might make his debut sometime later in the 2007 season. Eventually he could play in the other forward pocket, or a bit further up the ground.
The Kangaroos need to create more excitement for their supporters, and two speedy Krakouers scoring goals is something that will bring in the fans.
