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

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.
