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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
