KREUZER!!! 2009 BROWNLOW!!!!!

Mark Woodbridge - 5:58 PM Thursday, June 12, 2008
KROOOOOOZ! You're cool as a cucumber during the most critical moments, which seemed contagious amongst the other Blue Boys against Port. You might not say much Humphry but your exceptional talent on the field says it all! Keep it up son! GO BLUUUUEEESS! P.S. PIES SUCK!

craig farley - 5:23 PM Thursday, June 12, 2008
Iwould rate your first 9 games for carlton as more than simply fantastic and after watching your performance on sunday evening against port adelaide no one could wish for any better or more from a ruckman,and in viewing this I hope maybe for the collingwood game this week Ratts can rotate yourself and your position between half forward and full forward at different stages during the game in bringing fev down to centre half forward at different stages of the game when it matters most.Good luck for the season

Glenn Oakley - 5:05 PM Thursday, June 12, 2008
Congrats young fella. A welcome reward for the efforts you've put in so far this season. Keep working hard and believe in yourself and your teamates and more successes will come.

Martin Hayward - 3:54 PM Thursday, June 12, 2008
Great effort and no doubt many more to come. You will be a big part of the Blues resurgance into the finals over the next few years - where we belong!

Emma - 2:07 PM Thursday, June 12, 2008
I honestly thought 2 weeks ago he needed a rest for a week as things looked a bit shaky but after the weekend i believe that Matthew's confidence will have grown so much and he will have a massaive influence in carltons team. Well done Kruze!

craig clancy - 12:40 PM Thursday, June 12, 2008
Mat certainly deserves his rising star nomination. his first nine games would have to have exceeded most if not all peoples expectations keep up the good work and a level head. You have many years ahead of you at the mighty blues.Go Blues

manick - 12:38 PM Thursday, June 12, 2008
its not how we rate his first 9 that will be remembered it will be the next 9 that count well done KREUZERRRRRRRRRR.

Eliza Grant - 8:26 AM Thursday, June 12, 2008
Kruezer your an absoloute gun.. Getting good possesions of the ball. I think you are doing really well in the ruck, getting some good taps.

Your a legend and you are one of my favourite players! Doing very well for your first year!



Go Blues C:

John Y - 8:14 AM Thursday, June 12, 2008
Well done Kruz, all the carlton supporters are really proud of the way you turned that game around and the way you have been performing. You are going to be a fantastic player for the blues in the future. Cheers.

Heath Triffett - 3:00 AM Thursday, June 12, 2008
Great! I think he shows a confidence against seasoned players that you rarely see in players his age and he's showing some fantastic early signs of whats to come. It gets said a lot, but I can say with assuredness that I think the "Cruise Missile" is a champion in the making, and will be a player of the highest quality for many many years to come.

marc cervini - 10:40 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Well done Matty, thourghly deserved.Look forward to you winning many more games with carlton

mark anderson - 9:55 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Hi i think Matthew Kreuzer is going to be a hall of fame player. If he stays fit and his mind is on the job then i think there is no reason why he won't go down in the history books.

Ada Kimokeo - 9:26 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Congratulations on a great first half of the season, your efforts have been a joy to watch and last Sunday was the icing on the cake.Good luck for the rest of the season and continued good luck with your career at the Blues

Nickie - 9:23 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Hi, Matthew. Good luck against Collingwood this Sunday. What's your MSN? I hope u kick 6 goals this Sunday.


Goat - 9:18 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Well done, I was at the game and it was the best Ive seen in a long time!!!! Keep up the good work and good luck for next week....

bluebagga - 9:03 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008

yours sincerely CALEB

Adam Yeates - 8:45 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Well done Matthew, did us proud with a slippery pill. I think Matthews first half season

has been a great positive for the blues, he is level headed young man with great courage. Would like to see him protected when in the air from cheapshots. Best wishes for future Best and Fairest Player.

Nickie - 8:38 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Matthew, I'm so happy 4 u. Do u reckon you'll kick 6 goals against Collingwood? Will u be the leading goalkicker for Carlton like whatever u do when you and all of your teammates played against Port Adeliade? Do u have MSN? If u do, add me. It's nickieliz@hotmail.com. I love you lots. I m your number 1 fan. Number 8 is my favorite number. I'll definitely marry you when I grow up.

Henry - 7:42 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008

This young man is starting to show us how good he will be for the navy blues.What a blessing he will be for us for our future and the coaching staff are to be congratulated in their endeavours to bring him to his full potential.

Keep up the good work as I am sure that myself and my fellow blue baggers have been thrilled to see the attacking spirit and desire to bring our proud club back to where we rightly belong at the top of the competition.

James - 5:39 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Congratulations on the rising star nomination Matty. It was long overdue. I thought your debut game against Essendon was sensational. It was an incredible performance on sunday in your 9th game to basicaly win the game off your own boot. You and all the young guys will help lead this club back to greatness. Keep doing the navy blue proud.

Eddy - 5:26 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Congratulations and well done Matt. I have no doubt in the world that long term, your spot in the team will be somewhere up forward. It's only a matter of time. Just have patience and keep a cool head. We blues supporters can see great potential in you and the Carlton team. Enjoy the ride to success !!

Good to see for such a young age you have a level head on your shoulders.

Keep up the great work....

Rhonda Stone - 11:54 AM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Well done young man you are a real asset to the Club and I cant wait to watch you get even bigger and better

Abdul - 11:12 AM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
KREUZ!



Great effort, Kreuz. I can't ever recall an 18 year old ruckman winning a game off his own boot, as you did on Saturday. Well deserved, and hopefully it's just the one of many matches (and awards) won by you.



Keep cruising along. *wink* We love you, mate (though most of us not in that way).

Frank - 10:07 AM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Well Done Matthew. Keep up the great work. Always remember that you're playing for a great club

HEATH - 8:11 AM Wednesday, June 11, 2008

Ziggy - 1:05 AM Wednesday, June 11, 2008
He is a gun. On what I've seen so far, will be the greatest ruckman to play the game.

Ray Tabone - 11:40 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Kreuzer hasbeen sensational.

He needs to keep working hard though as do the whole team. Great to see improvement all round.

Congratulations Matty kreuzer on your rising star nomination!

Derek Reilly - 9:47 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
A terrific start to your career mate and more than deserved your nomination with, in particular, that stellar last quarter performance, keep up the great work, wrapped to have you on board with the blue boys, Dezza

Tony Martello - 9:20 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I am very excited with how the young fella is progressing. I really liked the way he seemed to float over the pack for a crucial mark late against port. Punched the air.

Steve Glab - 8:58 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Congratulations, what a great effort from you and the team. Keep up the good work, we are progressing nicely

Mel - 8:41 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I love watching Matthew play... he shows maturity already and has a good level head. Wait until he gets some more games under his belt... he will be unstopable!

tony tori - 8:40 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Congratulations Matthew, It's been a pleasure watching the great start to your football career. Congratulations on the effort on sunday to you and the rest of Blue boys.

regards

Tony, Daniel and Jordan Tori.

ROBIN JANSE - 8:35 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
This young bloke will be a great player because he has both the natural attributes required and an attitude which is relentness. Amazingly he can play as either as a ruck rover, a key forward or a ruckman. The future looks very bright indeed.

Ryan Smith - 8:29 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Congrats Matty.



Your an amazing young player and are going to be for a long time.



Proud to have you onboard at Carlton !



Keep up the good work mate !

Paul Harbert - 8:17 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Well done Matthew your first 9 games have been really good considering your age and the huge bodies you come up against. Enjoy your footy and try not to be so hard on yourself you will be a gun at our club and will help us reach the finals in the next couple of years.

Well done Matt! You were an absolute legend on Sunday and you were the key to the our fantastic win. You have done an amazing job in such a short time and we all look forward to screaming 'KREUZ' for the next fifteen years. Go Blues!

Paul Sebastiani - 8:00 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Well done Matthew Kreuzer on your risng star. Your first nine games for the club have been outstanding for number 1 draft pick. If you keep playing the way you did in the last quarter against Port Adelaide you could prove to be a lethal tall forward. If we beat the Pies this week make sure you sign the Carlton song with pride. Your going to a legend, so keep your hopes up and aim towards being a Carlton Premiership player.

Good luck for the rest of the year.

jason g - 7:56 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
i would just like to congratulate matt on getting the award and he is playing very well considering his age and the position he plays in which is the hardest of all keep up the great work matt and the carlton football club with blokes like matt at the club we have a great future ahead of us...

Mathew Kreuzer is a quality player who will be a great player in the future. His effort on Sunday night at AMMI Staium was fantastic, to kick 3 goals in the last quarter when carlton needed them the most was a great thing to watch. It shows he has talent, well done kreuzer!!

maddy - 6:42 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008

maddy

TASH :) - 6:34 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
CONGRATULATIONS MATT!!

You played sensational on Sunday. To kick 3 last quarter goals is amazing.

You really stepped up to a very high level. You are an inspiration, not only to tall ruckman out there that u can play forward and kick goals, but to everyone :) !!

I hope that you play in the forward line more often :).

I remember when you debuted against the bombers. I knew we'd gained an absolute beauty.

Its great to hear that you've made great friends with everyone at the club and have learnt a lot from them. As a number one draft pick there is often more pressure to really perform each and every week. You may not be the best player on the ground each week , but like all Blue boys, you really put in 100%. Your first nine games at Carlton have been sensational. I can't wait to watch you grow even more over your career. I wish you heaps of Luck for the future!



GO BLUES :)



xx Tash

Luke Trembath - 6:34 PM Tuesday, June 10, 2008
