Was excellent today.

Great vision, thinking in traffic and very quick hands.  Can see him dishing out some lightning handballs from a congested midfield in the coming years.

    I remember George Bissett and Ricky? Spargo often carving up the Dees in the 60s. Sad for FFC that they missed this bloke.

    thanks for that mate, do you think he will stay a small forward or go for short bursts into the middle?

    For this year he'll most likely spend it all up forward. Next year I see him playing a forward midfield burst in the same vein as Caleb Daniel.

    His junior years were spent in the midfield and he was absolutely dominant back then.

    Its exactly what i thought watchibg him hit packs. Fearless little guy. Look forward to seeing what he does over the rest of the year.

    Caleb Daniel 2.0

    Speaking of Daniel, I bet the other Albury boy Chrossy keeps him under his wing

    I always liked having Bugg in the side because of his ability to agitate, but his skills would constantly frustrate. I think we may have found his replacement in Spargo.

    By the way dazzle, not having a go at you mate and I really appreciate the inside info you shared, but GWS couldn't have been that filthy about losing the rights to him? As they overlooked him one pick before us.

    I wouldn’t underestimate the impact he had today. He was a team lifter. Used it really smartly and finished off the hard work early when others couldn’t. Like Fritzel he’s looking an excellent pick up

    not sure fritzel is a good nickname, binman

    google a certain austrian pos named fritzl

    I've always been envious of other sides who bring in new players who seem to slot in straight away. I can't remember offhand a Melbourne player like that ... until now. He looks like he belongs !!! I realise that young players often lack consistency, and CS will no doubt have his good and bad games. But he looks a ripper !!!

    I think the difference is that Charlie had two blokes ready to back him up if things went further.

    Jack sadly got rag dolled but everyone looked on like bloody guppy fish.

    Clarry had fair debut, too. Just wish he went on with it...

    It’s P-man ?

    I’m aware. We’ve run with Pedo as a nickname for a while now. Bit late to be calling in the nickname police.

    Bloody hell I just read hes 18.. doesn't turn 19 until November.  So he will play of 2019 as a 19 year old.

    His age and size make his physical play even more impressive. Amazing stuff.

    Could be our first rising star nomination in a long time. On that, is Fritsch too old for rising star?  Had another good game and clearly too good for VFL. 

    Yeah he is too old unfortunately

    Super debut.  Can't recall a decent 'consistent' crumbing small at the MFC since the Wiz.  Fingers crossed he grows  into something special for us.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
