Should be dropped....but wont be due to his draft pick status....
If you drop Kruezer based on playing under par then to be consistent drop the following:
Murphy
Gibbs
Casboult
Jamo
Rowe
Phillips
Buckley
Thomas
Whats the alternative at this stage - replace them with kids that are not ready get hammered and then watch the complaints on here when we get smashed by 20 goals plus!
While I agree his not playing to his best he is not alone but at it least he pushes himself to the limit - a quality that cant be understated when you are rebuilding. The guy busts a nut in every contest and I rarely single him out because of that very quality. While other early picks jog around the ground avoiding contact and never even provide even a hint of physical presence!
Imagine taking him out of the ruck and leaving Cripps to be supported by real hard nuts in Murphy and Gibbs :
. The kid will be smashed from pillar to post. He provides some protection and when we have close to no one else who does that hard work - any talk of dropping him is madness.Leave him as a follower and stop asking him to fill a void up forward and watch his form improve.
Or get Wood back in and maybe he can replicate the clown act he performed with Casboult against the Dogs last year in the F50 when many thought they were watching the Benny Hill show. At least his good for a laugh.
