Prahran ruckman sought by Melbourne in September 1953 after representing the VFA in that year's National Carnival. Kruse was refused an application to interview with the Demons and Prahran accused the Melbourne of upsetting Kruse by approaching him multiple times during 1953. He trained with Melbourne again in the 1954 pre-season on the condition that he would not receive a clearance and stayed at Prahran until the end of that year.
Kruse coached Leeton in 1957. His son Max played 88 VFL games for South Melbourne and 73 SANFL games for Glenelg.
