Kreuzer expects his time either at full forward or at centre half-forward will ramp up this season, having spent the summer discussing and working with rucking partner Robbie Warnock on the best way they can take charge at the centre bounce, at stoppages and as marking threats inside attacking 50.

Kreuzer was ranked elite by Champion Data for score assists as a ruckman last season but contributed only eight goals. He had a shot-at-goal accuracy of 31 per cent - below average for an AFL ruckman.

''With the new interchange rule, it's going to mean bigger blokes are out there longer. It's going to be fun running around as a forward,'' he said.

''I played a little bit more there last year. I enjoyed it. (I will) just keep developing and hopefully kick a few more goals. I played there a little bit as a junior … it's fun down there.''

Let's hope his positive attitude transforms into a very productive and injury free season.

My faith in MK resets again as it does each year to positive optimism. As another post above rightly pointed out, kicking goals can be fixed almost instantly by being in a different position when having opportunity to shoot for goal (game plan). My optimism is centered on his ability to be out there on the day, rather than in recovery. Looking forward to a big year from K.

Reckon MM wants big Knockers as number 1 ruck.

If he is kicking at 31% hen I dont want him spending too much time down forward...

he was excellent in his accuracy only a couple of years back - he missed only one or 2 shots for the entire season. But over the last couple of seasons he couldn't hit the side of a barn from inside the barn. Matters not where he plays, he needs to work on that kicking!

Tired of the pre-season talk.

Last year Hampson said, he is going to have a gun season...and be a tall marking forward..

well he is now at Richmond...

IMO, Kruezer's head is on the block- if he doesn't deliver, move him on to another Club.

K-man is 10 times the player that Hammer was. Can mark for a start. Generally dominates opposition ruckman when fit.
