Insanely good footballer.

How is it that the media not talked up his game from the weekend after completely towelling up Darcy Moore?

    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! 😁

    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

    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).

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

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
