Nathan Kreuger - 2019 Highlights

Enjoy some highlights of Nathan Kreuger from his first season of VFL football.

At the end of 2024, Kreuger was delisted by Collingwood, which paved the way for him to return to Geelong, signing with the Cats’ VFL team ahead of the 2025 season 

Mark Corrigan, who is set to lead the Geelong VFL program for a third-straight year, welcomed the addition of Kreuger to the list. 

“We have seen it already from Kreuger, he brings incredible leadership with a great voice and great direction,” Corrigan said.  

“He brings a great energy, and not to mention he is an incredibly powerful key position player that can play at both ends.  

“Someone like Kreuger, at 25 years of age with six or seven years in an AFL program with experience, he will be enormous for our younger boys.”
