Plays for West Adelaide not Port.. Plays as a wingman/half back. My understanding is that he's a potential late draft pick or even rookie prospect at this stage. Didn't make the cut for this year's South Australia under 18's squad unfortunately.

I beg to differ

Yeah interesting. On the eye test I would not have picked him at all. You said he had 5 touches when he actually only had 3 as listed on AFL stats. Imo there were at least 10 other players that were far better then Spargo in the 3rd quarter i thought. Actually ten is probably being kind.

You make it sound like its a pattern of behaviour creeping into his game when it's not. It's a one off incident in his 6 game career. Plenty of times in his short career he's thrown himself into contests without hesitation. He's fine.

What's that's based off sorry? 3 touches for the quarter including 1 tackle. I'm keen to know on what merit was he judged as one of our higher rated players for that quarter.

Nah I'd be frustrated.

I can still see a way where Petty, JVR and AJ can work in our forward line. Johnson had 5 tackles and 111 fantasy points in yesterday's VFL game off the back of 6 tackles the week prior. His physicality and ability to ruck would be so beneficial for JVR to just simply focus on his forward craft.

In comparison, Tom Sparrow laid 10 tackles and 29 pressure acts playing purely as a forward last night.

Yeah I thought this was pretty telling. I still don't think that was the correct option by Langdon and he's lucky it came off. Fritsch had a pretty decent gap between the defender behind him and the fact it would have suited his left side as well was why I thought it was a strange decision. They are the perfect lead up targets we've been screaming for. Interestingly I thought Goodwin was a bit guarded in his response to Fritta in his press conference. It's pretty evident that simply kicking goals isn't the only thing that will keep him in the side. Someone mentioned before the 0 tackles and 4 pressure acts. Think I heard May and Bowey get interviewedafter the game and they emphasised that pre game the biggest thing coming into last night's game was that our pressure had to be right up it certainly showed from a team perspective, but unfortunately for Fritsch, his lack of pressure is pretty concerning.

So so to be honest.. i still see moments where I go there's talent there but 3rd year in the system now I just don't know if it will work out eventually. Can't doubt his effort, but if he was laced against big Nank tonight, he would have been eaten alive unfortunately. Just probably lacks the edge that other ruckman have going around and if Gawn goes down, it's Campbell and not Verrall that will get a go I think it's crucially important we add another ruck talent at the end of the year.

WC run with the 3 talls in Allan, Waterman and Williams, so may need the extra tall in Turner.

Staying at Casey for a long time. On today's performance he's well behind JVR and Aidan Johnson for talls that are next in line. Has zero intensity and physical presence.

In: JVR, Melksham Out: Sharp, Fullarton.

Nope. Without derailing this thread, Jefferson was God awful today at Casey. I would just rather play one short.

Agree, I didn't think there would be anyone worse. Absolutely i did. Me of all people wanted him to do wellm As a leading forward he created space and led at the ball carrier. Tonight though, he put in one of the all time worse performance in the ruck. He got bullied by a much smaller opponent in McIntosh and then could barely show any form of a presence against against Nankervis

My god never again Fullarton... 🤮🤮

Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off. Awful finish and now only few positives to come out after what was heading towards a really strong win. Meh.

Awful finish has put a complete dent to a positive game. We had opportunities to get a good percentage booster but not. And please, [censored] off for good Fullarton.

What a ****ful last quarter. Rivers and Salem need an absolute [censored] bake for their pathetic efforts this quarter.

We've tried to milk the game at the start of the last quarter. Disappointing

I'm looking and pointing the finger at our senior players. Petracca, Oliver, Fritsch, Salem and Viney.. seriously you lot, make a bloody statement and pretend you actually care! I'm so off Oliver it's not funny. If he's not subbed out tonight then he's got to be dropped next week for sure. I like Caleb Windsor, but my good he's an absolute ball butcher. He's right on Sam Frost levels in terms of ball use.

Exactly. Said the exact same thing about Jackson and Hogan as well when they were coming out of contract.

Jefferson is so far behind AFL level. AJ had a monster game as a forward and could have easily kicked 6 or 7 goals. He's way ahead of Jefferdon that it's now starting to become a real worry on whethwr he'llmake it or not. He genuine just lacks intensity compared to AJ who really stamped his authority with his physical presence and marking. Bonner is way too good for this level. Loved Kynan Browns game. Would prefer him to bloody Harry Sharp who's an absolute crab. Kentfield is worth keeping a close eye on this new position change down in defence. He certainly looks so much more comfortable down back then forward. Adams is also close to a debut game as is Sestan. Mentha certainly has talent but is raw still. Reminds me so much of Toby Brdford in his first year at AFL level where he showed so much glimpses but just needed that full year of professional development. Mitch Hardie was also very solid.

Contest work is fine as he's been thrown into the centre circle a few times. Plays the quarterback role really well and isn't afraid to go in and get his own footy as well.

Was named in Vic Country trial game against Metro last week. #11 Toby Sinnema (Dandenong Stingrays) Wing | 180cm | 11/12/2007 Melbourne NGA Sinnema put his running game on show, playing the wing role expertly to rack up plenty of outside possessions. He utilised the expanses of Avalon Airport Oval to hold his width and provide an outlet from the contest or in transitional kick-mark play. He often looked to move the ball on quickly and wasn’t afraid to go long on his favoured left foot. In a particularly productive first half, the Melbourne NGA hopeful dropped back to help bring fluency to his side’s forays forward.
