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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
