Glad you enjoyed the replay

All valid points but we can see with our own eyes when he doesn't chase, harass or puts out one arm for a faux tackle. Or he plays selfish football and ignores a teammate in a better position - a la Spargo in the last 2 minutes of the Tigers game Maybe he got away with it in the past because he scored goals but its not like this a revelation to Fritsch - he is a professional footballer after all and effort is always non-negotiable Our fwd tackle pressure in the past 3 weeks is off the charts. A pressure rating of 264 during the 3rd qtr against the tigers is off the charts. If you can't buy into that you're toast I don't care how many goals he kicked in the GF 4 years ago if he cant bring heat when we don't have the ball. One player not contributing can cause the whole system to break down and we have seen by the form line this year how important it is for everyone to be doing the right thing. Trust amongst team mates is vital and when you lose it like Clarry last year it all falls apart.

Players come and go, the team is forever. Thanks for your 6 goals but if you are not going to put in effort you can go now.

Sparrow had 11 tackles, mostly in the f50. For those that are incapable of assessing a players worth to the team, that is gold. Its the key to our resurgence in the past few weeks. Fritsch is the opposite of that and in a team/system game that is a cancer.

Waterman killed us last time from memory. We struggle with tall fwd lines....

I think its your expectations that need to be adjusted if you think he is judged solely on his goal output. Its a team game

He's been garbage for over 20 matches. Until he can pressure, tackle and be trusted by his teamates he can go back to the Magoos.

He's been a problem for 20 or more matches It's not the baby. He's more worried about how his hair looks than team play

Fritsch as selfish as ever

May is past it

Agree with most of this. MJ is a long way off. if he had AJs intensity he'd be a star

Bluey's nursing home won't let him watch live. He gets too angry

Very impressive speaker is TMac. A great listen

It wasn't meant to be necessarily. It was certainly to curb his influence, make his possessions less damaging and hurt them the other way. JV did a great job

Interesting because we started wit the 2nd easiest draw

Many thanks @WheeloRatings . You're a superstar 👏

Fritsch can pull his finger out and find form in the Dewies. His lazy efforts are one reason we're in this predicament

I said to my mate Bolton would try to run around the mark and he did. I thought the melb player was wise to it so well done -Rivers i think it was

Don't know why we don't send may out to mark the kick in and give us variety rather than kicking to Max all the time

Highest qtr for the season

If it just me or do we always seem to be on the receiving end of these injuries?

He finally dropped some name players, not fringe players, like we have been calling out for 20 games or so. Selection integrity has been a big issue IMO Maybe that msg hit home. I suggest a combination but it's taken a long time to get that intensity , pressure and composure with the ball. Also a fwd line where we weren't outnumbered 3 to 1 for every entry

Can't remember petty playing a game like that for such a long time. That's the benchmark

Two of his hb's directly resulted in goals to Freo.. room for improvement!

It was our highest pressure quarter for the year. Anyone critical of that doesn't understand football
