Little Goffy 14,975 Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 It is just plain fun to think that we have the best 'true' medium forward in the game. Only Heeney would be a direct competitor but that thought just makes me dream of what Fritsch would be like in a fully functional forward line... oh... wait... that wasn't a dream... that was 12 goals in 3 finals! Anyway, just for gloating's sake; top selections from the 2017 draft, reordered roughly as I might pick em, but very casually. Angus Brayshaw Aaron Naughton Bailey Fritsch Zac Bailey, Cameron Rayner, Adem Cerra Tim Kelly, Liam Ryan, James Worpel, Charlie Ballard Spargo and Petty also respectable mentions. Demonland needs a Jason Taylor emoji. 2 1 2 Quote

Guest Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 The making of the banner: Tracing around those big ol’ letters and getting high on texta fumes. #SquadLife Fritta’s mum just rocked up: let the fun begin! 🥳 Quote
Guest Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 When Pauline saw this she said, “I think I’m gonna cry” and I said “stop, you’ll make me cry!” And so began a chain reaction and suddenly Bayley had an additional half a dozen mums. 😁 And two brand new Giant Fritta heads! Quote

Demon Jack 7,196 Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 One of my favourite Demons! He's had a quietly good season so far despite not tearing a game apart. Hopefully this is the weekend he comes out firing and kicks a bag of six or seven. Side note - He becomes the first player from his draft year to hit the 100 game milestone which is a terrific effort! 2 1 Quote
Engorged Onion 10,226 Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Well done on 100... no one would have seen your career trajectory and highlights package coming, least of all your grand final performance. Anyway... glad he snuck through a goal tonight... Marbol and Bayley are the only two left standing... kicked a goal in every match in 2022... Edited July 2, 2022 by Engorged Onion 1 Quote

Guest Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 Mr. and Mrs. Fritta loved the hair-raising reference on the banner. They had a choice of either that, or High-Flying. They chose wisely, since Fritta loved it too. Scott (Dadda Fritta) was so pleased about the fam (14 of them) being invited to raise the banner, he sent us this message this morning. Note how he signs off. 😁 Quote

It’s easy to forget in the context of billion dollar tv deals and million dollar contracts that these are just people, with families. It means so much to them, and only means more as they get further into life and realise how lucky they’ve been to be involved in the way they are. 1 1 Quote
Cracker Nackers 115 Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 I will always love him for his fourth goal in the GF. Bonus points for the crowd-rev up too 1 1 Quote

He has steadily improved and notably his goalkicking accuracy has improved tremendously. 55.22. An excellent conversion. All the practice which seemed to dessert him in game time finally paid off and he’s become a strong part of the team. Whilst I’m sure he rather be competing and winning the GF, he can hold his head high. Congratulations to Fritsch on an excellent 2022. 5 Quote
Demon Jack 7,196 Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 First player since David Neitz around 20 years ago to lead the goalkicking in three consecutive seasons. 2 Quote
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 He is a gun. Imagine if he got to play alongside a dominant tall forward! 1 Quote
Nascent 9,345 Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Kicked his 200th goal on the weekend and currently sits at #26 for most goals scored at MFC. May end up top 5 by the time his career is done. 13 1 Quote
TeamPlayedFine39 8,525 Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Criminally underrated and flying under the radar again with 27 goals from 12 matches. 5 1 Quote
