Is a forward line of McStay, Kroooge, great prospect ?

[Piesnchess]

OK, just a suggestion, you know how Caaaarlton has twin towers up forward, Curnow, and McKay, big buggers, could a forward line of McStay, Krueger, be equal along lines of that, maybe with Checkers too, say, next season ? Is it feasible, and could it work ? Just asking.

I for one can’t wait to see that. Thought Kroogs was okay today, was honest and fought hard both forward and when relieving in the ruck, although did have a couple of opportunities to ice the game but missed.

McStay, Mihocek and Kroogs would definitely put the skerrits up a few defences.

[Haff]

Krooga probably gets forced out for team balance but he does bring an exuberance that few do.

[lazzadesilva]

He brings much needed size and height to the forward line and frees up Frampton to play back. I don’t know if we can play both Cox and Kruger in the same team but at this point, I’d prefer Kruger.

With Kroog,s and McStay put Bobby and Shultzie at their feet

That could be delicious

So you wouldn’t play Cox?

Lol..DREAMIN'

McStay and Kruegs aren't Curnow and McKay. Stop dreaming.

Curnow and McKay are Coleman medallists. McStay and Kruegs aint no Coleman medallists.

Cox has been 2nd-rate all season and was getting games by default.

If Kruger stays fit and firing in ruck relief to DC, Cox can pull up a chair in the stands until he pulls his finger out.

Great conundrum for us to have as opposed to where we were several weeks ago….heard next in line for a debut was the boot studder at FF!

[RudeBoy]

Cox has always been great on his day....but those days are few and far between these days. On his off days, he is a real liability.

Krueger, is not as tall, nor as good a ruckman as Cox, but he offers far more aggression and forward positioning. Given that we really only need a 2nd ruck in brief spells, to relieve Cameron, the greater mobility and competitiveness of Krueger makes him my firm preference.

A forward line with McStay, Krueger and Checkers, supported by Hill, (hopefully) Elliott and Schultz would be my preferred lineup in September.

This….clearly DC can play the sole ruck with a chop out from Krueger or McStay then with Checkers Cox will struggle to get back in.

Let’s just hope Krugs stays injury free.

Curnow is a star, granted, but McKay is not, misses far too many goals. Do you forget McStay got us into the GF, off his own boot.

[Newelly]

We need to find talls in the 2024 trade period. Kreuger should be solid but unlikely to exceed that level. Cox looking past it. McStay was number 3 at the Lions.

[WhyPhilWhy?]

whatever leaves Reef as the third tall works for me.
