Welcome to Demonland: Bayley Fritsch

in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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!

:goody2:

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.

    Oh Dear.

    Well, I'm not the first and won't be the last!

    I wonder if there might even be a repeat of the 'D Cordner' (Denis & Don, of course) situation with the Brownlow votes one day.

    I never had that problem with Allen Jakovich. He's a forward and I reckon somewhat comes with the territory.

    Yes of course, but sometimes… it less a burning and more an immolation worthy of scripture and legend…

    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!

    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!

    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...

    got a shout out by the commentators at one stage when he was in a contest around the 50m arc

    "hair-raising? he's played 100 games and never had a hair out of place!"

    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. 😁

    Honestly, this is so heartwarming. 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.

    It's a yes from me

    I must say the Bailey Fritsch had an excellent 2022. 55 goals and 5th on the goalkicking table behind Curnow, Lynch, Cameron and Hawkins. 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.

    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.

    Criminally underrated and flying under the radar again with 27 goals from 12 matches.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
