Time to go easy on Fritsch
What else does he do besides kicking goals he certainly doesn’t do the other things like pressure and tackle and setting up goals. If he’s not delivering in front of the goals he’s of no use

Time to go easy on Fritsch
Will he hand back his pay packet then, everyone has things going on off field it’s no excuse and his poor form started well before the baby

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Agree on Fritsch we need him at his best not whatever he is serving up now, Melk will be ready but I don’t think Goodwin has the balls. JVR just swaps for Fullerton no real thinking needed on that one.

Tom Fullarton
Josh Schache mk2, looks good in VFL but can't play at AFL level.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Fullerton beaten time and time again, ball is kicked to the hotpot and he isn’t even able to contest his player from marking it
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Fullerton offering nothing, not even halfing the contest

Tairon Ah-Mu - No access for Dees NGA Talent
From https://central.rookieme.com/afl/2025/04/18/scouting-notes-2025-victorian-u18-trials-game-one/ Ah-Mu remarkably kicked six of his side’s nine total goals, leading from the front as captain for the day. He inspired a sharp turn in fortunes during the third quarter, kicking four of five consecutive Country goals out of the main break. Ah-mu proved too big and strong for Metro’s lean tall defenders, owning the forward 50 and causing headaches with his physicality. The hulking marking target took contested grabs in packs and on the lead, also converting his chances nicely. AFL owe us after screwing us over with Mac Andrew

I guess we will see if Fritsch has learnt anything from getting dropped despite not having to earn his spot back in the vfl first. Hopefully just the fact he knows he’s not an automatic selection will be enough. I hope Goodwin has the balls to send him back down if he still has his bad habits.

PREGAME: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Without watching the vfl game I can’t say with any authority but going over the stats he certainly wasn’t in the best and sharp for Mcvee isn’t like for like anyway, I would think he is competing with rivers, bowey, Salem and Lindsay for a spot, none of whom will be going out, If you moved Rivers mid to make room then who are you dropping from there, probably first one out is sparrow. I just don’t see the whole team being shuffled round after our first win to make way for Mcvee who probably needs more time anyway

PREGAME: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Only changes I can see it may for turner and maybe Laurie for sharp as the sub. Why would Goodwin mess with what worked today particularly up fwd, no chance Fritsch or JVR get back in.

POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Not spargo fan and certainly think we can do better, when he stops and waits after he gets the ball rather than play on it is infuriating but he played his role today he was one of the many players putting pressure on freo players and forcing a rushed disposal and locking the ball in our fwd half, something we have lacked so far this year. If Frisch would do that he wouldn’t be playing vfl today
-
POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Very even effort don’t think there was many passengers today, first time this year we have been able to lock the ball inside of 50 for periods of time
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Amazing how much better things work when everyone brining effort first. Just need to see if they can keep it up as I don’t expect freo will give up
