He looks to have a good turn of foot and is quick and obviously athletic , attributes for the modern game and above all else is a bit of a freak !

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.

Good one, Redleg. Thoroughly agree that you nailed it a few weeks earlier and that is why I got on the bandwagon with you. I thought your succint judgement came to the fore when you mentioned his illiteracy! Very apt, as players must be able to read the coach's chalk board meanderings - so that may well have frightened away the WCE. Looks like Collingwood were successfully frightened off, as well so that makes two significant arrows in your quill. 'Carna Demons!

I'd like to refer Redleg's earlier, stoic yet penetrating work on the Demonland forum in regards to our acquisition, the young Mr Fritsch. Applying a novel logic and a keen sense of inter-operability with other clubs' list managers prior to last night's draft, Redleg brought it all together in a timely fashion - so much so that the entire thread disappeared before our eyes and those of the 'sniffers' at other clubs. High praise and commendation is all Redleg's. -_-

I have to admit one mistake though, I forgot to mention his tinea.

Seriously though, this kid does have some talent and hopefully he can become a senior player with us.

Good call,  you truly are a visionary.

Even ENYAW called it in August in the Delistings at End of Season thread.

When we were talking about the showers shyness at other clubs, I just presumed that this was unstated 'tinea' detritis about his person but now he is signed on, I have been assured that this has now cleared up and he is raring to go.

He has even enrolled in a course in modern language, reads well now, including other attribute developments to meet those standards expected of him.

See, your motivation was outstanding in more than one regard. Even CityDee (above) has commented as further proof that he '...looks to have a good turn of foot...', which in itself regarding the above, now-unmentionable ailment is a definite sign of his positive change and readiness. Good onyer, Redleg.

So excited to see this kid debut for the MFC...   the X factor is huge and hes skills are sublime.

Should benefit greatly from adding even just  a few extra kilos.  He is very slight.

Now that's a great photo 

First day of training and Jesse fills Bayley in on his preferred delivery inside-50. Low and flat out in front, Fritsch.

Hoges is just indicating where he is un the pecking order up forward

Lovely user of the ball & good overhead but what's his defensive pressure like? If he wants to play forward he needs to chase & tackle.

You had me at 'Lovely user of the ball'.

Like the highlights, definitely an X factor which is a bonus.

With that number 2 on his back and his light frame, some of his plays remind me of a young Robert Flower. 

Saw Fritsch play several times this year out at Casey and the kid has talent to burn.

Brilliant in the air for his build, good initial acceleration without being Jayden Hunt like and he tackles with intensity.

I'd be very suprised if Bayley doesn't make the grade and have no doubt he'll play senior footy in 2018 baring injury.

 

We've got a beauty!

It does look like he is a great recruit for us. Agility is just as important as speed and he has that. Endurance to do it again and again and to recover quickly will be his test the the coming season. Very happy that he was picked up - and it is an indication of how much our recruiting respected the potential of those appearing to join MFC before his selection.

Well Jesse better play in front then.

Yeah well the pecking order is wide open up forward so best he shut up and deliver himself

You sometimes get a feeling about a recruit and I just think that Bayley will be a good player for us. He has got to this point by virtue of hard work and he has undoubted talent. I just think he will make it. He will vie with the likes of Harmes, Hannan, Bugg, Melksham, JKH and Kent for a spot and he could end up the best of them.

He's building size nicely.

Sure is looking stronger and more demonic. Great to see, and let''s hope it comes out on game day.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
