Fritsch and Hannan compliment our mids perfectly. They are both relatively quick, skilled and can take an overhead mark and are reliable shots on goal.

We looked way too slow on the flanks when these guys weren't playing. Can't see Tyson getting back in unless we get an injury to one of our inside mids. What a luxury to have Tyson and Hunt as emergencies! May it continue....

Fritsch is a better kick for goal. Hannah misses a lot

Haha - more censorship :)

Where was all this vigilance when the potential trade was happening?

Unbelievable

Censorship? Posts that say another poster is full of shit are usually deleted by mods if we see them. I happened to see this one and it was deleted. Usually it would be accompanied by a warning. I didn't in this instance.

Fritsch will become a genuine A grade player before too long.

I was skeptical of him moving up the ground because he is a great forward but at the moment he is the outside player we have been crying out for who can kick goals as well.

Yes ... he has come on incredibly quickly.  Maybe being with the Scorpions so knowing who is who and who does what and what is expected has allowed his transition to appear so seamless.

Any other 'hidden gems' at Casey?

I have just been back through this post - some very good talent spotters amongst our ranks.

Drunkin hit it on the head, and it is well worth also reading the link in daisycutter post #34 25 February.  Some have quietly rated him for many years.  Glad we managed to keep him under wraps.

It looks like pick one in the 2008 draft has finally paid off.

One more thing and I'll leave it there - after that, you can do what you like with my account

There was the most derisive, litigious, cruellest commentary that spewed forth from that poster that was never, ever reigned in whilst JW was being traded to Port

Get off your moral throne

Brayshaw has overtaken Tyson as a mid. On top of that the inclusion of Viney will make it hard for Tyson to break back in. Salem has been pushed out of the midfield of late (or not given as much time), but given his versatility he is still able to keep his position, and probably even looks better down back. What has killed Tyson is that he is just an inside mid, as is Brayshaw, but the latter brings more of what we need - intensity and defensive efforts.

Plus he is only 22 (I think) so it’s like a 4 year rewind.

Yes, he has effectively replaced that side of what Watts brought to the table - frankly, when someone who isn't Fritsch, Brayshaw, Melksham or Hogan kick the ball into the forward line, you quickly remember what we lack...

Underestimating Salem’s ball use IMO

He hasn’t taken to being a mid like Brayshaw has so I judge him on a curve that is probably unfair. He is an excellent kick.

And he can kick...

Has an uncanny ability to avoid being tackled too. Just a smart mover around the field. Absolute gem of a player.

Interesting comparison, this season Fritsch V Watts. Table from footywire.

 

I wonder with what Port now know, if given their time again would they keep pick 31 and go for Fritsch instead of  trading for Watts?

Doubles him in inside 50's, almost double in metres gained.   Shows he is much more dangerous.   More contested possession per game too.... and Fritsch is stick thin.

Add the massive difference in aerial/marking ability and courage, and we cashed in Watts for a 21 year old who is at least twice as good if not more.

 

Another 24 possessions, 6 marks and a game high 3 goal assists.

Can not believe how good he has been, pick 31, first year player, started as a forward the first month and looked very dangerous, suddenly moved into the midfield/wing the last few weeks and is now racking up the footy and looking like the prototype winger of yesteryear.  Let the good times roll!

He was one player that looked out on his feet in the last quarter. But gee whiz, when he is up and going he is such a smooth mover.

I can’t believe how good he is. 

I was pumped to have him as a forward. No idea he could be a winger, and he’s making it look so easy. 

Exactly what we needed at exactly the right time. We’ve been kissed on the dick with this one.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
