Given that he was played in an unfamiliar role in defence he had a very good season. 

He should only be played forward where he can be really damaging.  Gains separation, leads well to the ball, can take a great mark and is one of our more accurate kicks for goal.

Looking forward to watching him have a settled and successful year.

Arguably our most natural footballer. Reads the ball better then his opponent most of the time, marking and kicking is already of really high level. Moves smoothly and with confidence. I have no doubt he will go up another level. Love Fritta.

This, and also he is a really good kick i side 50 so can draw defenders out of our inside 50.

It's surprising how little time he's spent playing as a forward at senior level.

We've seemed to be determined to transform him into a wing or half-back for the first two years of his career.  Looks so natural and comfortable up forward. 


Don't get me wrong - I understand the logic of playing him down back given our injuries and lack of kicking skills. 

But he's such a natural forward it's not even funny - 20 goals this year despite such limited time in the forwardline speaks for itself.

Will only get better.

Interesting perspective. Hard to argue with.

I keep going back to this but check out his marking stats once he was moved back into the forward line.

For a guy with stick arms he can sure take a grab.

Its a bit of a waste of time comparing players I know but imo he's our version of a  Jaidyn Stephenson. . Doesnt look like he's got the body to be elite but is...or is heading that way.

Agree AM maybe a lot better also

Sky could be Bayleys Limit! Very skilled natural forward.


His games against West Coast and North were outstanding and gives me hope he can cause havoc as the third forward behind T Mac and Weed/Mitch Brown next year .

A very talented player is Fritsch.

50 goals and mark if the year in 2020

put yer house on it.

Based on his last 7 rounds, he’s a 50 goal a year forward if played there permanently. That would have been good enough for 7th in the Coleman this year.

Must play 22 games forward in 2020.

If he’s played forward we can get 35+ goals out of him there. I think for us to be successful next year we don’t necessarily need to have one key target that is a guarantee to kick 50, we need a wider spread with Petracca, Hannan, and Weids kicking around 30+, and TMac and Fritch tipping 40. All are capable of those numbers. 

From there we need some midfields getting amongst it as well as suddenly we can get back to being one of the most attacking teams in the comp. 

“Everyone’s come back in good shape – a few boys are flying, ..."

He has got the preseason clichés pumping out thick and fast there, that will make him a good footballer.  Seriously you would think they would come up with something original to say wouldn't you.  I guess we only have one Max at the club.

16 goals in last 7 games and losses. Almost won two games on his good forward play. He can kick 40 imo 

definitely a forward 

Hopefully he won’t always be the go to forward he was in those 7 games though!  Unless the wheels fall off again, we’ll have other big bodies demanding the ball around him. so if we could 30-40 goals it would be outstanding.

Fully agree YB.

His pack marks in defence in his first final, vs the Cats in 2018 when the game was up for grabs were a standout for me. He was harshly  treated by match Cttee when dropped for prelim. Given he did have a few clangers in the hawks final, but had enough points to play.

The fact that he fronted up with a good mindset in 2019 does the young man credit.

His demonland podcast contained every Goodwin cliche under the sun.


He's a terrible defender. Turned it over something shocking.

He is a forward half player full stop. Very hard match up on. Can kick. Natural forward.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
