I see Stretch has had 11 disposals ... how has he been playing

thanks

He's been doing stretch things. Solid, playing as a link man in our defence to attack transitions. Definitely not a shoe-in for selection, but in the mix.

[Demonland 73,266]

All class Hibberd. 

[Cassiew 1,903]

46-92

Hubbard absolutely schooled Waite there.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

How good was Hibberd there on Waite?  Terrific stuff.

I've also been impressed with how quiet we've kept their tall forwards today as well.  They have barely gotten a look in.

[Cassiew 1,903]

Killing them. I hope this is an indication of how good we will be in 2018. Already set a date to go to the North game

It was great play from the Old Mother!

[Demonland 73,266]

Fritsch is my favourite player. 

[Demon Jack 6,931]

Fritsch kicks his second on the siren. 52 point lead.

[sisso 2,580]

Pencil Fritsch in for rd 1

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Absolutely smashed them that term.  Granted, we had a pretty good breeze behind us, but it was the clinical way we put them to the sword in that term that really impressed me.  

Interested to see how we play out the game, but they've shown us enough to suggest we have the capability to improve on last year's output.

Fritsch vs the Cats, it will happen.

[Cassiew 1,903]

Love it when we double their score. I think maybe now the game safe in our keeping, bring on some of the new kids and maybe some experimentation in position changes to see how they’ll work.

[whatwhat say what 23,117]

7 goals to 1 that quarter

with this wind they could easily boot more than 7

crazy weather 

[hardtack 10,704]

Is anyone else watching this on Foxtel and if so, are you getting a broken feed? I’m guessing it’s a problem at their end because the commentary’s not affected.

[Demon Jack 6,931]

Fantastic spread of goalkickers. We've had 10 all up for our 15 goals.

Hogan 3, Fritsch 2, Neal-Bullen, 2, Harmes, 2, Hannan, Melksham, Vince, T.McDonald, Petracca, Bugg

Harmes is playing the wing much better. Stretch just doesn't take the game on enough. He has also kicked 2 behinds from gettable set shots.

I want it to happen too, but can we fit him in?  Garlett is an automatic inclusion down there, while Melksham and Bugg have shown enough to suggest they might be ahead of him.  Same goes for Hannan.

It will be tough to select a side in Round 1, but what a good thing that is!

Very pleased to see or skill level up on same time last year. Clearly done some work on that in pre season ?

[buck_nekkid 6,054]

Think there is a whole lot of really valuable team stuff going on.  Hannan blocking for Fritsch, running in numbers, getting to the right places.  This pleases me more than individual efforts.  Now to hold them against the wind by controlling the play.  

 

[GCDee 3,199]

Fritsch and Hannan are very dynamic players who are hard to match up on. I am loving the look of a forward line
