Great performance - even though it was a JLT series game - that clearly indicates his capacity to mix it with others as an opponent and as a team player/resource. Would also like to see Spargo and the Ginger Ninja (Baker) next week.

    He should replace Hannan with Brayshaw on notice.

    Play him in JLT 2 and we'll see.

    At VFL level he is a wonderful player and today's performance obviously lost him no fans.

    Like others I think we may have a player on our hands (fingers crossed).

    If he can emulate say Gunston in his better years I will be over the moon. At VFL level he is an incredibly good pack mark.

    Looks very promising. Showed a lot of poise and class from his limited possessions.

    He will be getting an opportunity early in the season you`d expect.

    I can't talk this guy up enough. Some of the marks and goals he took last year were unbelievable. If he can emulate that in the AFL he will soon become a fan favourite. Kid is a gun.

    How times have changed. No early draft pick saviours that need to come in round 1 and guide us back to premiership glory.

    Instead a mid to late draft pick who played with our affiliate vfl team, where we develop and look after kids, could come in and play a role round 1.

    Good luck Bailey Fritsch you have been provided an environment where you can excel.

    You were on him early and so was WJ and of course me.

    You sometimes get a feeling about a recruit and I just think that Bayley will be a good player for us. He has got to this point by virtue of hard work and he has undoubted talent. I just think he will make it. He will vie with the likes of Harmes, Hannan, Bugg, Melksham, JKH and Kent for a spot and he could end up the best of them.

    He has that trait of great players, he appears unrushed and looks like he has more time than others. Looked very cool under pressure too. Flower-esque in build but being skinny didn’t do the great man any harm.

    Will make us better.

    Upgrade on that other bloke who would consistently take eyes off the footy in marking contests?

    Should have kicked 6. Missed two sitters and gave away one in the goalsquare. 

    Looks a terrific prospect and should go past Bugg and Harmes reasonably quickly. Appears to have X factor with his marking, and the quick snap goal while being tackled showed he's good at ground level as well.

    All that 'weak draft that falls off a cliff after pick 15' stuff looks wrong already.

    for those saying he'll go past harmes... i would've thought harmes would be more a midfield option after the past aflx and jlt1 performances? harmes seems fit and ready to run. whereas, bayley is more of a kick-a-bag kinda guy. we'll use harmes in the engine room surely! looking forward to watching the kid develop and reckon him and garlett are gonna cause chaos, lol

    I was excited by the highlights package. Has a good sense for the goals and has a good pair of hands.

    He was good at Casey and I honestly thought he would take a bit longer to make the jump to the AFL. He might get there quicker than first thought.

    It's still early days but signs look good.

    Does anyone else spit a bit of saliva out when they yell FRITSCH?

    apologies to the row in front in 2018

    Hes gonna kick some brilliant goals and be a regular mark of the year contender. 

    We have plucked an X factor excitement machine from relative obscurity...   nowhere near the obscurity of a Liam Jurrah obviously, but he might have a similar impact on the fans....   may he be blessed the longevity.

    The kid did look good. But we're not going to have Majak Daw playing in key defence every week. That opened up a lot of opportunities that a better team wouldn't have allowed.

    Having said that ... good on you Bayley, and GO DEMONS

    Little bit of Matty Lappin about him.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
