Gawn - willed to win

Viney - great first half

Salem - almost a liability 

Rivers - not always reliable 

Lever - held his opponent 

Petty - outstanding most game

Sparrow - was not sighted

May - strength and application 

Jordon - not moving freely 

Oliver - class and input 

Langdon - limited since injury

Brayshaw - prolific and courageous 

Fritsch - career worst game 

Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted 

Spargo- another uninvolved performance 

Brown - saved by goal

Pickett - hero but limited

Petracca - not as dynamic 

Jackson - just a game

Hibberd - loose but important 

Melksham - only winning forward 

Hunt - great last quarter

Which Salem were you watching?

And the only thing Lever held with a blade of grass. He was shocking.

Salem was brilliant!

We’ve looked a worse team this year since Salem has been back.

Salem - good first half

i clearly watched a different game.

I don't a mind a bailey fristsch game with 1 goal 8 tackles

 

I think the praise for Melk could be higher. It wasn’t just the 4 he kicked. He started to look like the player in 2018 who was so crucial in setting up our forward fifty forays.

Wow - I watched another game as well -

Salem - Fritsch both played well - the balance were competitive including Brown Spargo Langdon and most others you bagged - Watch the replay ! Slowly !,

He also gave Kozzie the ball for the winning kick. He actually could have had 7. Missed 2 and was robbed of a mark late in the game 30 out.

Fritsch played well.!! . No. No. No 
4 disposals. 1 goal 1 kick (both from the down the field free kick on 1/2time). 3 handballs (I think two to Carlton players) 8 tackles but that’s because he was always second or behind or trying to chase. 

I love Fritta and he always will be a star. But he was off tonight. 

Joeboy: veil of negativity 

Gee whiz I must have been watching the wrong game 

Only Salem questionable, otherwise good job Joeboy.

Disagree. Jackson 'just a game'?  A terrific game. Brayshaw...disposal is atrocious .

 

Hunt- Instinct is best

His dare to break the lines was crucial late.

I’d prefer eight goals and one tackle.

Forwards are there to kick goals (something we struggle to do now) so the obsession with forward tackles for a player like Fritsch is weird to me.

Our forward line has been hugely critiqued for a lack of forward pressure.

Indeed, Fritta was off and didn't kick his usual handful of goals. Instead he knuckled down and applied plenty of pressure. Would love for him to kick a bag every week but he has shown improvements to his game when he can't manage to get involved on the scoreboard.

My 3 words - sucked in blues

Fritsch is an impact player like in the gf. when he gets on a run hard to stop but can go missing for the odd quarter 

22 possies at 73% efficiency,  il take that "liabilitie" most weeks not to mention 6 tackles and 7 intercept possessions
