I posted on here last year that the jury was out for Fritta (in my opinion).  I see all the qualities that everyone has listed above.  But, I'm going to ask the jury to wait until the end of 2019 before delivering their verdict.  He will get extra attention this year, so I'll be interested to see how he handles that.  In some ways I'd like to see him lock down a position this year, but in many ways, the fact that he hasn't is a strength too.

FWI, I don't mind being on my own in the minority with this view!  I haven't dismissed him - how could I?  But I'm still unsure how long his career will be.

Feast away.

 

I agree that Fritta might get extra attention this year Chazz, but we have such a strong list that opposition teams won't be able to put extra time into everyone!  Barring injury, I'd be surprised if Fritta doesn't play every game.  I see him primarily as a wingman,  but one who has proven flexibility to do well in a variety of positions.  That's where his versatility will really come into its own.

    I thought the opposite, I thought his game went down after they put him back, he is not a very good defender positioning wise and I thought we were better with him on a wing.

    I agree. Definitely not as effective in the backline. Looking forward to seeing him play on the wing or up forward.

    Fritta remains focused when under pressure.  This is why I think he will be fine and overcome extra attention.

    He knows he can be decoy, or whatever he needs to do.   I see him a s a team man first and foremost.   He also can be a link man in the middle of a play.   Giving off with quick hands.

    We are building talent across the list,  and thankfully went young last draft period.  To continue with the next wave to come thru.

    needs to be played forward, not back. Put a premium on goal kicking accuracy instead of having petracca blaze away

    Agree. I see Bayley as a hff or fp, not a defender.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
