Yeah for sure 

a couple years in the system and he should bulk up well

Bull, Dec and now Fritta, 3 Casey boys, Dec is over the moon

 

Am I the only one concerned that we picked a bloke the drinks a lot and goes out partying with Jaime Elliot? ;)
 

On a serious note, a great pick up and a credit to everyone involved at Casey.

 


No doubt he is a talent,  be interesting to see what role a player of his size and skill set can play in the modern game. 

 

so is the pressure already on this kid because he was chosen by the pick we got for Watts? 

I really do not want the medal to keep bringing it up next year whenever he gets the ball that we got this kid with the paick we traded for watts. 

On another note just looked at the AFL site. What the hell, Dom Barry has been picked by port at 61. Didnt even know he was still around the system.

Keeps the Casey pathway connections.

Motivator for the other young guns.

Casey has been amazing as an AFL pathway.  Look at the guys who have been picked up from there.  Silvagni, Mohr, McInerney, Smith, Keilty, and now Fritsch.  There may be others as well that I've missed.  That's a pretty great record for a VFL side.  I don't know how many others have produced that many mature-aged recruits. 

Tulip mark II ;)


Love his kick as well as his mark and he can run.

There's a lot more to footy than that of course but really it's the basis of AFL football isn't it?

Wouldn't at all be surprised to see him playing half back or rotating through a wing as part of his development.

Maybe the shoe will be on the other foot: "Gee, Port Adelaide really missed out by trading out pick 31" every time Fritsch takes a mark or kicks a goal? Anyway, next year is not the year to decide one way or the other.

No there will never be another, BUT, he does remind me of the great Robbie with a couple of his attributes.

I take full credit for getting this guy, by exposing all his faults to the other 17 clubs, who were scared to take him before pick 31.

Ha! I was literally just going to type, glad he is off the gear, has his licence back and still loves his Mum. 

Never seen him play but he always seems to bob-up at the right times during the Casey gameday threads.

Is there a highlights package of his kicking around somewhere??

Could've had him at 37 if West Coast were scared off as well. Unfortunately the talks of substances, nights out and defects only made them keener.

Ive already talked Fritsch up a lot but I'll let his footy do the talking from now on. So happy we grabbed him 1 pick before WCE could. Literally yelled when we saw he was picked up by the MFC.

Can't wait to see Bull, Keilty and Fritsch all playing in the Seniors together next year:cool:

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.

Good call,  you truly are a visionary.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
