    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
