While he hits the scoreboard most weeks he needs to start bringing a bit more.

    FFS we jump on contracts don’t we. He has proven nothing to this point. Unreliable kick at goal and makes poor decisions when leading out. I’d hold fire. This is like Weidermans contract. I hope he doesn’t command much money

    Its a 2 year deal Chell.... not like he's signing a big 600k 5 year deal.

    He's currently in our best 22 who's about to hit the 50 game mark.

    Makes perfect sense to me really. Still has a lot of development and improvement to go.

    And would attract opposition interest for sure. much better to sign him up before they get a chance.

    Surprised at how many have jumped off the bandwagon TBH. He's given away a stupid 50 metre penalty and despite a near-flawless kicking technique, he's had a bad few weeks converting set shots (which even the best forwards go through at some point). Other than that, he's barely put a foot wrong since he was drafted. Gives our forwardline a real point of difference and will only get better.

    FFS he is a 45 game player who is coming out of contract. No one is saying he is getting a godfather offer? Does anyone believe we should not sign in?  Look at our out of contracts list which order you would sort them in. The earlier we tidy these no brainer decisions up the better for club and player.

    Arent they supposed to play better when a contract is up for renewal?

    His manager must have neglected to tell him.

     

     

    (He will be back in hot form soon enough)

    What’s his best position, he’s played half back, wing, half forward and now this yr is playing deep forward... 

    Bailey had a great end to last season and a great pre season, form so far this yr has been ok. 
    Still has improvement and upside in his game ?

    Bizarre that there's actually supporters who legit think we shouldn't be giving contracts to talented players like Fritta.

    Can't wait until he hits the 80-100 game mark. 

    I was filthy on him on the weekend for the 50. But there no doubting his talent that's for sure.

    I won't be unhappy to re-sign him but I wouldn't want to be paying him too much. I'd almost be tempted to see what he might be worth on the market. Probably nothing more than we paid for him originally (or around pick 30) so better off keeping him.

    Been a while since people got wound up about re-signing our leading goal-kicker!

    I think Fritsch is doing okay at present, and I am 100% sure that he is doing a lot of team-first things that reduce his visibility and stats.  His form is also 'fluctuating upwards', so to speak.

    Aaaany moment now he's going to have a ripper, I can feel it in me bones.

    Hopefully they get this done, it's necessary.

    Since moving forward, BF has taken 39 marks inside forward 50 in 14 weeks. This would rank top 10 if not top 5 in the competition.

    Playing with the team with the worst delivery in the competition.

    He's in only his third year and will only get stronger and stronger physically over coming seasons. 

    His leading to pockets (not helping his conversion) needs to be addressed but as he gets bigger he'll back himself to take marks in more congested zones. 

    A must sign.

    When we are looking, at contract time, at the talents that we have assembled in recent years, we often say that such talent is not consistent in its highly positive mode. Players are not as good, in other words, as it was initially expected to be and neither was the subsequent development of their skills and attributes. My stance is a little skewed, another way, from this initial criticism. My thoughts tend to centre on the development team and the overarching coaching. Hence, I must remember when considering players at the 50-game mark that these fellas are largely the product of Goodwin and his limited strategies, deployments and game plans. I am almost convinced that another head coach would have been more likely to produce that kind of development that the fans and members expect; Bayley is one of these players, as are Clarrie, Petracca, Gus, et al.

    The kid is in the top 20 for the league for goals kicked and you’re saying he doesn’t deserve a contract. 

    Give me strength!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
