Coach Jack Madgen has provided an overview of each players' Round 6 performance.

Noah Roberts-Thomson (11 disposals, 5 tackles, 2 marks)
"Noah had a little bit of a different role this week. It was a tough day for the high forwards to get involved. Sometimes it can be a bit of feast or famine at Frankston. I am liking the way Noah is adding to his game, and the willingness to play new roles. He needs to keep working on his craft and finish opportunities when they're provided to him."

Samson Ryan (1 goal, 20 disposals, 34 hitouts, 4 clearances)
"I thought Samson was good back at the VFL level. He got plenty of the ball, competed really hard in the ruck against a pretty good ruck for Frankston, hit the scoreboard and looked really strong in the air, in front and behind the footy. I thought his attitude was second-to-none. We will need him to lead the way with composure with the young group we have at VFL level at the moment."

Liam Fawcett (2 goals, 7 disposals, 3 marks)
"It was a bit of a tough day for forwards in general. Although we had enough opportunities, we just didn’t take enough of them. Liam was able to kick a couple of goals. He was able to get his hands to the ball in a lot of aerial contests, but just wasn't able to capitalise. I'd love, especially at the VFL level, when he gets his hands on the footy in a marking contest, that he gobbles them up, because that's what's expected of him, and that's what will help him get back up to the AFL."
