Fritta may have been asked to help counter the abscence of Clarry & Spargo (mostly Spargo) with kicks / connections inside also?

I was very impressed how he competed for the most part of the game against 203 cm Darcy Moore.

He made himself look taller and stronger, like a 2nd tall not just our superstar medium tall.

👌🏻

The 2nd quarter mark he took, playing in front of the much taller Moore, the way he refused to give up front position, was excellent and deserved great praise. Moore was bamboozled.

Changed quarter from 3rd to 2nd. Bad memory, checked the replay.

Speaking of pets, Jaded - you’ll be pleased to know Fritta is a dog-guy. He has five of them. His three and Nat’s two. One of Nat’s dogs wants to kill one of Bayley’s and therefore the two of them need to be separated 24/7, the dogs that is, not Bayley and Nat. 😂 This is super difficult and has catastrophic results if not adhered to (as has happened twice) but they make it work since it’d be like telling parents to choose to offload one kid. Amirite! 😁

Makes sense now! We knew Bayley has a dog brush.

It is just plain fun to think that we have the best 'true' medium forward in the game. 

I think that Breust bloke goes alright, and Gunston...

I remember hearing about his love of dogs. 
 

Can you find out when Clarry is getting a Cavoodle so I can organize a play date with Bear? 😂

I don't see that at all.

Most oppos and commentators rate him highly.

The fact the Pies had Moore on him for a while yesterday a fair indication of how highly he's rated i would think.

Some of his defensive work has gone up a little this season as well if i'm not mistaken.

In the statistical player ratings i put up, he was up 20% on his 2022 season rating up to and including the match against the Blues.

The only area he's a bit off in (so far) is accuracy at goals vs the last few years.

Running @ 52% vs 2022 (62%) & 2021 (63%).

if he can get back to 21/22 accuracy he could potentially kick 60 plus!

thanks for the stat, my eyes are not going yet

I heard the dog ate Maynard's homework. 

This can’t be true as I’m positive Maynard dropped out after year 8. I get the impression he’s asking as thick as two bricks.

I’m really not a fan of him playing so high up the ground. It really makes us look impotent when the ball goes quickly into the 50. This guy is our best natural forward and had a stellar start playing deep this year. I’m not sure if it’s because of Petracca’s injury but we need him deeper next year.

How he kicks 40 plus goals in that forward line with our woeful ball movement and kicking skills is beyond me. 

He would kick 70 in a team that had a clue how to play football.

Not sure what's happened , but his back half of the season has been very poor - he's looked very low on confidence, disinterested in anything physical and just completely lacking verve and desire.

I have zero Intel, but strongly suspect something happened in his personal life that's thrown him for six. Partner, family, dog - reckon something's happened. 

Hasn't looked himself for 3 months

Bailey Fritsch is an elite finisher around goal - but unfortunately that is all. 

Don’t be fooled by the aesthetics of his kicking style, because his field kicking & decision making is rubbish for a guy so talented. 

Doesn't chase or tackle with intent. No team first mentality & would rather do the miraculous highlight instead of what’s best for the team. 

Becoming increasingly frustrated with this bloke & it’s only because we all know what he could be if he improved on the above.

As above.  Let's hope that he has been carrying some sort of physical injury.   

Need him 100% fit, and interested for the full 2025

RedLegs23  - yes, he is frustrating.  He can be amazing and could be amazing again if somehow there was better forward delivery and spread.

I agree with the sentiment that he's looked disinterested at times during the last couple of months. Saying that, I can't say our slow ball movement and abysmal forward 50 entries have helped Fritsch much in the second half of the season. Looked on track for another 50+ goal season at around round 10-11.

Officially a five-time leading goalkicker of MFC. Equals Fred Fanning and is now only behind Neitz (seven-time leading goalkicker).

Spot on. Welcome aboard. 

It’s time to sell him off whilst he still has some value

Agree with all and needs to be traded out, insipid efforts far too often!

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
