Fritsch and Hannan compliment our mids perfectly. They are both relatively quick, skilled and can take an overhead mark and are reliable shots on goal.

We looked way too slow on the flanks when these guys weren't playing. Can't see Tyson getting back in unless we get an injury to one of our inside mids. What a luxury to have Tyson and Hunt as emergencies! May it continue....

Fritsch is a better kick for goal. Hannah misses a lot

    Haha - more censorship :)

    Where was all this vigilance when the potential trade was happening?

    Unbelievable

    Censorship? Posts that say another poster is full of shit are usually deleted by mods if we see them. I happened to see this one and it was deleted. Usually it would be accompanied by a warning. I didn't in this instance.

    Fritsch will become a genuine A grade player before too long.

    I was skeptical of him moving up the ground because he is a great forward but at the moment he is the outside player we have been crying out for who can kick goals as well.

    Yes ... he has come on incredibly quickly.  Maybe being with the Scorpions so knowing who is who and who does what and what is expected has allowed his transition to appear so seamless.

    Any other 'hidden gems' at Casey?

    I have just been back through this post - some very good talent spotters amongst our ranks.

    Drunkin hit it on the head, and it is well worth also reading the link in daisycutter post #34 25 February.  Some have quietly rated him for many years.  Glad we managed to keep him under wraps.

    It looks like pick one in the 2008 draft has finally paid off.

    One more thing and I'll leave it there - after that, you can do what you like with my account

    There was the most derisive, litigious, cruellest commentary that spewed forth from that poster that was never, ever reigned in whilst JW was being traded to Port

    Get off your moral throne

    Brayshaw has overtaken Tyson as a mid. On top of that the inclusion of Viney will make it hard for Tyson to break back in. Salem has been pushed out of the midfield of late (or not given as much time), but given his versatility he is still able to keep his position, and probably even looks better down back. What has killed Tyson is that he is just an inside mid, as is Brayshaw, but the latter brings more of what we need - intensity and defensive efforts.

    Plus he is only 22 (I think) so it’s like a 4 year rewind.

    Yes, he has effectively replaced that side of what Watts brought to the table - frankly, when someone who isn't Fritsch, Brayshaw, Melksham or Hogan kick the ball into the forward line, you quickly remember what we lack...

    He hasn’t taken to being a mid like Brayshaw has so I judge him on a curve that is probably unfair. He is an excellent kick.

    And he can kick...

    Has an uncanny ability to avoid being tackled too. Just a smart mover around the field. Absolute gem of a player.

    Interesting comparison, this season Fritsch V Watts. Table from footywire.

     

    I wonder with what Port now know, if given their time again would they keep pick 31 and go for Fritsch instead of  trading for Watts?

    Doubles him in inside 50's, almost double in metres gained.   Shows he is much more dangerous.   More contested possession per game too.... and Fritsch is stick thin.

    Add the massive difference in aerial/marking ability and courage, and we cashed in Watts for a 21 year old who is at least twice as good if not more.

    Another 24 possessions, 6 marks and a game high 3 goal assists.

    Can not believe how good he has been, pick 31, first year player, started as a forward the first month and looked very dangerous, suddenly moved into the midfield/wing the last few weeks and is now racking up the footy and looking like the prototype winger of yesteryear.  Let the good times roll!

    He was one player that looked out on his feet in the last quarter. But gee whiz, when he is up and going he is such a smooth mover.

    I can’t believe how good he is. 

    I was pumped to have him as a forward. No idea he could be a winger, and he’s making it look so easy. 

    Exactly what we needed at exactly the right time. We’ve been kissed on the dick with this one.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
