Crameri lifeline

GEELONG are considering throwing discarded Western Bulldog Stewart Crameri a lifeline as further support for spearhead Tom Hawkins.

The Cats are eyeing the consistent Crameri on a minimum wage and most likely as a rookie selection. Next year all rookies will be eligible to play from Round 1.

Crameri, 29, kicked 166 goals from 94 matches with Essendon and the Bulldogs from 2011-2015 and averaged 15 disposals. He averaged two marks inside 50m each match.
