Great news, get it done.

Why would anyone whinge about this when we've got the likes of KK and Preuss on ridiculous fat multi-year contracts.

    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! 

    I never said he didn't deserve a contract. Please, point out where I said that? 

     

    I did say that I wouldn't be rushing to sign him. His goal kicking has been poor this year and it has hurt us on many occasions. I would not be paying a great deal for him, that I have said....

    Got a source for both of them having 'fat' contracts?

    While his goal kicking has been off at times, we have no idea how much he'll be paid, and if we hold fire then we open ourselves up to allowing other clubs to make offers and for Fritsch to glance elsewhere.

    He has shown more than enough to deserve a two year deal.  It's not as if we're giving him five years.  I think two years on reasonable money is a fair deal for his output to this point.  He is playing the third tall role well, and his skills by foot around the ground are very good.  He is a best 22 player and you sign those guys up when you can.

    Yes 2 year deal for $250-300k sounds about right.  I think his stocks will rise so sign up now. Could demand more $$ elsewhere by season end but he’s young and should appreciate the opportunity to sign for 2021-22

    I would be looking at signing Fritta for at least 3 years with the upside he has and the multy positions he can play. Only going to be a better proposition when he comes out of contract. 

    The reason I say  that because we lost Howe and most likely it was a mutual decision between ourselves and C/wood. Howe being a supporter of the Pies he was going to fulfill his dream to play for them and Bucks.

    This brings me back to Fritta  a dead set Pie supporter  I don't want to get into detail,  hurry the signing please !!!!

    new deal for Fritsch? [censored] i hope not. The bloke is soft, a poor shot at goal, and well............soft.

    Him and half the bloody team.

    I take everything back.

    You couldn't find a more weak and insipid performance from a player tonight in Fristch. Honestly, a slight breeze could blow this guy down just on how weak he is around the contests.

    Has one thing going for him and thats his kicking. The rest, not so much.

    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.

    2 years too many bud. We need to start cutting players who avoid contact. This club lacks heart and has been that way for too long. Get rid of the soft bruise free hacks and replace them with guys who will put their body on the line.

    Good to see everyone now agreeing with me. Make this butt head lookalike wait the season out. He is a panzy. lazy 2nd efforts. Putrid disposal. The missed kick to McDonald on the far wing was hopeless and his effort to go and help equally poor. He never shepherds. Never does anything hard. Hold fire

    The baby had been thrown out with the bathwater I see!

    Needs to be played in right position.he is a forward flanker like Melksham. Need to stop putting the pill on top of his head and have two 195 cm defenders crash over him every time. Forward line needs two talls. Weed and Jackson. Two smalls Pickett and ?. And two mid-sized flankers. The balance of the Hawthorn game has gone already.

    Exactly right. The balance is nowhere. Fritsch and Hannan are playing the same role but competing in marking against our tall forwards. Need only 2 of Vdberg, Bennell, Melksham, Hannan and Fritsch.  Fritsch was behind his man, too soft and flew erratically at the footy.  Hold that pen ...

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
