Bingo

That was woeful. Honestly feels like a loss.

I've been searching to see if this has been mentioned prior, but from what I can see it hasn't. What everyone seems to miss is how Fritsch approaches the ball. First, he sprints to make position before the Geelong player. He then slows and drifts ever so slightly to the right, taking space away from his opponent whilst assessing if the ball will slow and stay in. As soon as it appears that the ball will stay live, he leans into his opponent with a slight bump giving himself space to gather and shoot with no pressure. This is what makes Fritsch so special. His timing and bodywork are always underrated and is what makes him so dangerous.

Like Heeney said, they play and train all preseason in this heat and humidity. We couldn't handle the ball.

I agree with you, but it's worth the risk playing him as we have no contested marking forwards and need quality delivery.

Yet in the vfl we have Spargo who a year or 2 ago was one of the best I50 kicks in the competition...

With McKay out this week I have more faith in Lever and Tomlinson doing a job on Curnow than our current forwardline functioning....or even taking a mark

For some reason the idea of bringing Tomlinson into the team and playing May forward keeps coming to mind. It's left field, but all the other options are underwhelming....

Looks like they played their grand final last weekend...

Looks like Sparrow's going to take a step forward this year too.

Grundy's impact around the clearances looks to be an upgrade from Jackson last year. Seeing as we're in win it now mode...bodes well for us.

I think I'm literally dead

Ummm.....wow

Those highlights weren't that impressive. Kicks seemed to float and didn't see much hard running to present an option.

I know that he didn't have a massive impact tonight...but thought our forward mix looked much more mobile with Brown replacing Tmac. Led up to the wings to provide a target out of defence (much like Tmac does), but felt more composed with ball in hand. I hope they persist with Brown in the absence of Jackson.

Gawn has been resting down back...he'll take him
