    Fritsch needs the tough conversation

    yes he’s a very good goalscorer 

    but it’s a team game and he has a LACK OF SECOND EFFORTS 

    LACK OF ANY TACKLING 

    LACK OF DEFENSIVE PRESSURE 

    He looks lazy at times !!!!

    Fritsch is generally a very good kick into forward 50. If he was kicking to himself on the lead he would score 60 goals! Yes, he needs to improve his pressure game. That can be fixed!

    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.

    Disagree about his field kicking. It can be magnificent. His tackling is terrible and his chasing is lacklustre but his field kicking can be up there with Melksham.

    Interesting that you called people “dills” for criticising Fritsch but then go on to say “just need to work harder”.

    Isn’t that exactly what those people you call “dills” have been saying?

    “Can be fixed”?

    How many years has Fritsch been at the club?

    Why hasn’t it been fixed by now?

    I have no interest in anything you say.

    However by all means go ahead and continue to embarrass yourself to others with similar posts as above.

    Good point. Uncalled for Abyssal.

    If you get rid of Fritta you better be bringing in someone worth 50+ goals a season, or else you’ll really be crying about our lack of scoring power.

    Bailey is a finisher. You have a couple in every team. He looks great when we’re winning and attacking and terrible when we lose. He has skill and natural ability but arms like pipe cleaners so to expect him to land tackles regularly against big units is not going to happen 

    He should be chasing harder though. And he needs to stay focused for longer.

    He is a gun. To think of trading him is utterly ridiculous

    I’d like to know who the designated finishers in the top 4 sides. Because I don’t think any of them are carrying a one way cat like the Fritsches hat!

    Fritta is not a Number 1 Forward. Never has been one, his goal kicking has been great considering this. Fritta to me looks like a third forward, he needs more assistance. 
    Gary Pert said as much on the Radio interview 

    His tackle pressure could improve, but it’s not his biggest concern. His drop off in the back half of this Season has been disappointing 

    Get another Forward Demons…

    I know a forward who fits the bill perfectly and only the first name would have to change on the locker, and the nickname remains the same… Darcy ‘Fritta’ Fritsch, Bayley’s younger (but bigger and taller) brother 😁

    Jokes of course, but tomorrow I hope to witness the first player in Coldstream Footy Club’s 134-year history kick 100 goals in a season. Many have come extremely close but no one’s cracked the magic ton.

    Darcy’s on 98. Barring anything on an otherworldly level of disaster, he’ll get to 100 tomorrow and when he does it’ll be the biggest day in the Club’s history.

    GO LITTLE FRITTA!!!

    Is it possible he’s not suited to the JVR/Petty/Turner setup?

    He plays his best football as that deep lead up forward ala Jason Dunstall. In the second half of the year he’s become a bit part player that chases kicks high up the ground.

    Some assessment is needed in the off season to (re)utilise a class goal kicker.

    He's kicked 50 twice. in 8 seasons

    Next best 41

    Not that hard to replace. And with someone who can put on pressure and tackle,  two traits that Fritsch seems incapable of doing

    My very favourite thing in the world is seeing a grown@ss person crying “wah, wah, wah, he’s no good, get rid of him! Wah 😩” and knowing that there’s no way in hell they’ll get rid of him. LOLSY 🤣

    Ok so find me 41 goals. Not hard to replace?

    He’s currently 14th in the league for goals kicked with only 2 others (both sitting on 42 goals) not being tall forwards. 
    But by all means if you can get a trade done that nets us 41 or more goals, AND defensive pressure all in once, I’m all for it.

      Brad Green kicked 55 goals in 2008, and Tmac 53 goals in 2018 were the last two players to kick over 50 goals in season aside from Fritsch. As you say, not hard to replace.

    Not to defend him as I do feel he needs to lift in terms of pressure, but out of the current top 4, Fritsch is ahead of the following notable key forwards and medium forwards for pressure acts:

    Logan McDonald, Jake Riccardi, Corey Warner, Mitch Georgiades, Joel Amartey, Jeremy Cameron, Gary Rohan, Todd Marshall, Jeremy Finlayson, Jesse Hogan.

    They’re all tall forwards aside from Rohan (who’s not in the cats best 22) and whatever Corey Warner is

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
