Misses far too many gettable goals No intensity! Trade

Agree.

Lazy, inaccurate, unaccountable and timid.

One of the most frustrating players on our list

 

Ridiculous suggestion. I don't see why he's the whipping boy, at least he gets us goals. I'd rather see Brayshaw put on the trade table.

If he could kick straight hed be a damn good player

Agreed. Plenty to work with. Unlike others on the list.

Would be like watching Howe go to Collingwood again.

He's just the type of player that needs to kick a crunch goal in a final and misses. He does this far too often!

He’s taken about five marks in the forward 50. Yes, his kicking his crap but that can be changed.

 

[censored] off Picket he's a gun.

Had four shots at goal in a half and has kept one of their most dominant players (Ridley) to just 7 touches so far.

Think I'd rather keep him.

he's a like for like for jack watts with worse kicking skills

To be fair I thought you started this thread...but there you go, at least you got in there with something kinda dumb.

Last week did a good job on Haynes. Today beating an AA candidate in Ridley.

This isn't a poor player whose goalkicking is the icing on the [censored] cake, he's just goalkicking away from being a B+ to A grader.

Just try and get him to kick properly.


He plays his team role which pushes him out to boundary at fairly long range. It's annoying that he misses a lot of shots but it's not abnormal for kicks from such positions. He also is dragging defenders wide which is giving Weid and others some space and opportunities closer to goal. He's playing a tactically important role and without doubt sacrificing the 'appearances' of his own game. 

If you'd rather a bomb to nothing and instant rebound, instead of a mark and difficult shot on goal, sure, I see why you have a problem with Fritsch.

Ffs why do we even bother responding to this drunk nuffy snarking?

He's so close to being a damaging player, its all mental in front of the sticks with Bayley.

This is nearly word for word what I was going to write. 

I don’t think people are understanding his role. He was great last week in stopping Haynes’ intercepts and his first half against Ridley has bee great as Ridley has been super this year and will probably win the bombers B and F.

His kicking for goal usually look straight they just go towards 11 or 1 o’clock. He really needs to sort this as it would elevate him to another level.

His game today and last week has been very good

Okay fine. I’ll bite.

Yes his radar has been off but that is very correctable. Trac’s goalkicking was lamentable not long ago. Doesn’t look like missing these days. It is largely between the ears.

But the main argument against is what would a club cough up for Fritsch? He’s not exactly a name player. He is worth FAR more to us than what we’d get for him at the trade table.

Didn't do it today.

How many of our players are capable of 7 shots on goal?    Yes hes kicking has been off and ended up with 22.24 but hes a very important player for 2021

Oh by the way he won our goalkicking

IMO Would still trade him, went missing in the third and most of last except for a gimme goal from 15 out then a crumb. Thats my opinion take it or leave it!

Sir, you cannot be serious, there are many ahead of Fritter in the possible trades queue.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
