Bayley Fritsch has talents that few others in the league possess for positioning and finishing quality. As a key forward most often starting out of the goalsquare or a forward pocket, he is called upon to contest against fellow talls for marks every game, even though he does not have the bulk of many who play his role. This combination of high skill and medium levels of grunt have seen him fall out of favour at Melbourne, a club whose forward set up had been failing for a long while now. His recent VFL visit may have kickstarted a reversal in fortunes for him and the Dees front six.
