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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
