Nathan Krueger - Delisted

[SthSea22 617]

Worth a punt?

Does battle hard and can give us some depth back/forward if we suffer from injuries

Thought he was ok in the cameos last season which is why he was picked ahead of Ash Johnson

Not sure about picking up a player who is always injured as a depth replacement for injuries.

He has definitely shown talent but can't stay on the park.

Rookie list option at the most.

It's a free hit

I would consider Membrey or Kruger for the reasons above (all things considered like age, injury history) - better than backup - could make an impact at crucial times if not season regulars. Kruger is a beast.

Our back depth is an interesting one given 2 of them are playing as forwards.

Think we're 1 big fella short but not sure if this is the answer.

Would prefer to keep Hore as cover for Lever and Tommo cover for T Mac

If Tommo leaves I agree we are one tall back short

Well no brainer we go after him now that Tomlinson is goooooooooooooooone

[Turner 1,514]

if we're going for a delisted tall, u want reliability. so membrey is front of the queue. down back id look at ethan phillips or harry arnold but probably unnecessary as im expecting petty goes back next year 

[Redleg 40,892]

Pies need his type more than we do and delisted him.

Constantly injured and 15 games in 6 years is not a good recommendation.

Petty doesn’t go back if May, Lever and Tom are playing. One more season will change that though.

15 games in 6 years, but of course one of those would include torching us.

[bluey 1,101]

Ordinary player, a no from me.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

We should get him, just to watch him kick 8 in the intra-club

[Jibroni 5,002]

Would be a good SANFL player but thats about it.

[spirit of norm smith 16,436]

Delisted Tomlinson.  Solid reliable dependable.  Fit and strong.  Why would we look at Krueger?  That’s madness.  

[Cranky Franky 2,049]

No

[Demon Jack 6,907]

He clearly has talent but 15 games since the start of 2021 has red flag written all over it.

[sisso 2,580]

Always injured, no

[M_9 2,082]

David King last night reeled off half a dozen players, either delisted by their clubs or told to explore their options, who were taken late in the draft by another club.

He included Billings.

Not one success story.

I just can't see Billings, McAdam or Fullarton getting a regular gig.

And then we have Laurie, Adams, Sestan, Verrall, Kentfield and now Tom Campbell.

Spargo has a lot of ground to make up. Hore is only ever going to be back-up.

That's close to 25% of our list.

I don't want Freddy Kruegar. Nor do I want Membrey.

Far too injury prone for my liking.

 

Would rather the Demons take a chance on Denver Grainger-Barras from Hawthorn.

 

He was pick #6 in the 2020 AFL National Draft and still has a lot of talent and potential. Would rather we snap him away from Carlton too!

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,816]

I don’t rate him but he did get a hold of May and Co this year with 3 snags and 7 marks.

Wouldn’t be a better option than Turner in terms of best 23, but you can never have enough depth.
