A phenomenal season with Casey and was red hot again in yesterdays final with another 4 goals. 

20 years old, 186 cm, beautiful left boot, fantastic mark, great goal sense.  Sitting 5th in the VFL  goalkicking. 

Could be Hannan 2.0, though his upside is even greater.

Get him.

    I wonder if this kid will even make it through to our second pick. He does look the goods, and he wouldn't have went unnoticed among other clubs this year.

    Yup, it will be a real risk not taking him with the 2nd rounder, assuming hes still on the board (and assuming we are into him).

    The question is not if he is any good, but is he what we need?  I imagine we have a clear idea of what we need, and outside midfielders might be it for this trade and draft season.  If medium forward is not on that list he will go elsewhere, or on our rookie list at best.  Looks good, though.

    What's the 'knock on him'?  Any idea what's stopped him being drafted the last few years or is he new to footy??

    I went to a few Casey games this year and Fritsch was the highlight of the season for me, I'd hate for anyone else to pick him up.

    I would also like to give The Coldstream Football Club a shout out for turning up every game to watch their boy Fritsch play.

    He'll be there at our 2nd pick. Whether he's the best available at that pick? Would be close.

    Well assuming we trade pick10 for Lever, we would surely take a midfielder at pick 27 as we need to stock up through there, in fact it is of ultra importance with Vince, Lewis and soon Jones coming to the end.

    Fritsch > Weideman

    he is 10 cms shorter so you would expect him to come on quicker than the Weed

    do we need another undersized fwd?   does he chase and tackle?  many goal assists?   at 186 cms not sure he could even be our 3rd fwd?

    Seen a bit of him this year and he can certainly play. Having a lot of trouble seeing where he fits in the side though :(

    No issues with taking him with a rookie pick or very late draft pick if he is still available, but there is no way we should be using high draft picks on mid-sized forwards. You take genuine midfielders and key position players in the first two rounds of the draft, especially as a developing team.

    A lot of people have talked him up and I hope we get him - but if you saw him on TV three weeks ago against Willy you would have to say "No way". The worst game by a potential draft pick that I have seen - conditions not good though.

    The fact that, against the same side, he came back and played well last weekend, indicates he is still worth claiming - but I am thinking as a rookie, but I may be dreaming on this one as it is always hard to rate VFL players and the club will have an idea of who is in to him pre-draft.

    Surprised he wasnt previously look at in the draft given his current form.

    There must be a flaw (size, aerobic capacity, skills) that is holding him back.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
