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

The Goody works in mysterious ways 😉

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? 😂

Yesterdays Heroes..they were both greats.  Fritsch is the best right now.

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

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.

Maybe uninterested, but no way disinterested.

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!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
