Goody: challenge accepted
BB Brown, crucified this week by our non existent ball movement thru the wings and into f50.
Yes he has the past 2 seasons; and I had payed out both TMc and BBB's contracts in my mind at end of 2023....
------------------
This year he's been good, in the games over in SA.
------------------
No forward would be able to play in last nights team effort. It was terrible. Not BBB's fault at all.

We simply can't play 3 talls + Fritsch. It's diabolically slow. The oppo just walks it out of the 50 with ease every time.
BBB out and only to ever come back in the event of a mass injury crisis...so he can act as a decoy and let others be the target anyway.

I am one of BBBs biggest supporters but he has to go. He's a great guy and helped us in our flag year but currently is a liability. It's not his fault the forward line is slow and bad but he is the weakest link and this needs to be fixed.
We need more speed and pressure there. (+ Fixing positioning and entries but I've lost hope that will ever happen).

Fritsch has been as soft as any time over his career this season. plays when he feels like it.
Doesn't go, when there's a chance of any physical contact that he doesn't like.
Who's the other tall. BBB & Vanrooyen.
Fritsch isn't a tall. And plays small, far too often. Fritsch is a lurker.
He doesn't create his own footy plays, anywhere near often enogh.

BBB, JVR, Petty.
Need to cull BBB from those and replace with a small.
Agree that Fritsch has actually been pretty shit this year despite still managing to hit the scoreboard. Has been even softer than usual.
Ah Petty, of course.
He's been a bit invisible in my minds eye so far.
There has been the odd Qtr where Fritta has pulled the finger out and gone in... but far too often he backs away from physical contests. Last year, and this so far.
I think this is partly why we went for Tholstrup; who I believe can be strong in the air for his size.
Interchangable with Tracca up forward, but with a point of difference.

Ripping bloke. A genuine guy you'd love to hold onto at the club is some capacity. We just don't want him playing in the seniors anymore.

I read your other post with Sir Mixalot’s famous song in my head.

It’s a ‘thing’ now?
