Fritsch is the best forward we have had in 50 years. We’ve was the last generational forward of any team dropped? 

On his day maybe.

Right now he's probably on par with Darren Cuthbertson

It astounds me how little respect fans have for fritsch. Not sure who they want to bring on to replace him

I'm confident he'll come good again. It's unfortunate that we don't have more options up front because he could be useful for a stint further up the ground to get his mojo back.

[censored] hell I've heard it all now... 🤣 there's been an outright nuffy and then there's simply being delusional.

How many forwards have we had achieve what he has?

That is a grim set of ins, and one really bad out. Our depth is struggling and it's round 2.

I'm excited that Spargo is fit enough for selection and happy to see Disco back.

Laurie, Adams, Woewodin are surely just emergencies.

Edited March 20Mar 20 by Guest

It will be 

in: woewodin and turner

out: Windsor and Johnson 

you think that woey just takes the role of half back that he played most of last year, I think Spargo is still a few weeks away. 

How the heck did Blake Howes not get the Flick?? Not convinced at all! Chandler and Fritta extremely lucky!

Spargo and Turner are good ins. Windsor’s foot is a concern. You’d think it’d be ok by now

Allen Jakovich, Gary Lyon, David Neitz, Russell Robinson, Jeff Farmer and Brad Green spring to mind. 

Who would you rather have, any on my list or Fritsch?

 

I would add David Schwarz and Darren Bennett to that list.

Id play Woey for sure!! Where is Brown Dog junior??? He should replace Chandler!

Disappointed to see Windsor out. 

I better not see Laurie in the team before Taj

Chandler & fritsch have never ending lives

The one problem with fritta he likes things going one way not much chop in the wet but on the other hand he does some great things when he gets his way, he is one who should never pass the 40 metre area playing all day.

Need the VFL to start for players to really push their cases…at the moment, there’s just not the pressure from the 2nds on the AFL listed players

Are you serious?

Did you see any of Lyon, Bennett, Jakovich, Schwarz, Neitz, or Farmer play?

If Liam Jurrah could have played longer he would have out-rated Fritsch IMO.

Did you mean the last 5 years, not 50 years—- typo perhaps?

Infections have a funny way of lingering around - everyone responds differently to medication treatment…can be hard to shake sometimes

I think that's the most likely outcome.

We missed Spargo last year with his pinpoint passes. I think he'll surprise a few this year.

Need him against GC

The inclusion of Turner does not excite me. He has been poor in preseason games and I’m still unsure if he can make it as a forward.

Billings looked certain for Round 1 and now can’t even make the extended squad.

This surprised me too. In the “one’s” all summer, then emergency and now nowhere to be seen. 

I expect Turner and Woey, as the closest positional replacements for AJ and Windsor. But we could go Spargo or Laurie instead of Disco if we’re going to try a smaller forward line, Fritsch going deeper to be the third tall.

Agree

That losing practice match between Casey and Coburg can't have been his best. Surprised that Spargo is a possibility after such a long lay off. His pre-injury form in 2023 wasn't stellar

He’s the very definition of vanilla, both in skills and personality
