A krakouer debut 2001 games 31
i know there are a few people at p.r.e who rate him pretty highly, but for the life of me, i can't see why. He's too skinny, and easily knocked off the ball, he hasn't bulked up much since he's joined the club. He seems to me to be too slow & always second to the ball. when playing as a forward, which in fairness is most of the time he doesn't seem to lead too much, and doesn't seem to get in the right position. i.e front & square, or under richo's feet, waiting for spillage. He just doesn't get ENOUGH of the footy. he is one youngster at the club, who frawley seems to give a reasonable go to he's played eleven games this year, rounds 5-15 and missed the first four through injury. His stats aren't too flattering, they clearly show that he doesn't get the ball anywhere near often ENOUGH

take this game out of the equation, it makes a pretty ordinary year look downright ugly. The question to be asked is he up to it?, and are we getting enough out of him? My answer is i don't think so, on both counts
