That he strung together 20 senior appearances is something of a minor miracle, for Matty played under sufferance for most of them. With injuries and surgeries now hopefully behind him, “big  Kreuze” can truly look forward to making his mark as he nears game No.100.

Draft history: 2007 NAB AFL Draft priority selection (Carlton) No. 1 overall.
