My 3 word player analysis V StKilda

It’s easy in such a loss to forget how immense Maxxy was - one of the most complete games I’ve seen from a ruckman in my nearly 60 years of watching footy. 

I also love watching Fritsch - the silkiest player we have had since dear old Tulip.

    I agree in part as I was thinking during the match how Max’s amazing performance was reminding so much of that other number 11 circa 1991. Jimmy was amazing in that year. It was a different game back then where he could get to many more contests than any modern day player could, but gee he was a one man force to be reckoned with in those years. And Jimmy is still the perfect prototype ruckman in today’s footy, tall enough, huge endurance, incredible resilience, great mark, reasonable kick.

    Good idea maybe you should have your own thread for this?

    Gawn deserves a 10. Everybody else is rated too high.

    Fritsch and Viney 6

    The rest 4 and below.

    And scary to think not only what would have happened against the Saints without Max but what would happen for the rest of the season if he went down. 

    On Sunday, it was as close to a one man team as you could get.

    Yep, and he's only played 58 games;,,, so he and ANB are excellent endurance players, who will learn as the play.  Still immature Re games played.

    Yes, he did, and he finally broke double figures for marks taken in a game; with 11 marks. finally.

    He had a great game,  Maxy.

     

    How assured is Fritsch with the ball in hand.

    That comment on Jetta is your lowest amd most disgusting yet

    He was not concussed, he had his lip split open

     

    You’re probably the most irritating person I’ve EVER met... and I’ve never met you?

    This reminds me a bit of the lyrics of this fantastic song (arguably the greatest Australian rock n roll song - ever)

    'you're my only friend - and you don't even like me'

    I find it interesting that we were actually a better side (defensively, at least) this time last year without Gawn or Hogan.

    Our mids has to work harder to win the centre clearances, but we did.

    Baffles me that we’ve gone backwards this year with key personnel back in the side.

    He is a gun. He is such a good kick. Compare his kicking 2 Hannan & Neal-Bullen

    Easily BOG for us Chook and his best game for the season.

    Fritschkrieg is certainly all class.  I just hope the others start catching a little of his kicking skills and accuracy.  Beautiful to watch.

    Jetta was definitely down on his previous form. Perhaps he still wasn’t 100% after the previous weeks headknock, hope he’s good to go this week.

    Jones - age catching up

    Viney - great when unburdened

    Fritsch - was all class

    Hogan - ten minute game

    Harmes - played with heart

    Brayshaw - prolific but wasteful 

    Lewis - often a liability

    Melksham - playing slow motion

    T.McDonald - was probably injured

    Neal-Bullen - an irrelevant player

    Petracca - plenty of nothing

    Tyson - a dumb player

    Weideman - nothing to commend

    Gawn - one man team

    Hannan - devoid of ability

    Hibberd - reduced to amateurish

    Oliver - rarely found space

    Petty - debut to forget

    Salem - undisciplined and disappointing 

    Smith - little to praise

    Jetta - was still concussed

    O.McDonald - was emphatically embarrassing 

     

    Too generous.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
