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 !!!!

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
