I think I'll leave it. 

'Went missing except for a goal kicked thanks to good positioning and forward craft and another goal snapped around the body from a pack, which were the decisive moments winning the game for us and keeping out finals hopes alive.'

Yep. 

We should be riding Fritsch's prospects of doing a full Petracca over the pre-season and into 2021, not making up feeble excuses to pick at him.

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

OMG trade Oliver & now Fritsch, who else Petracca, May, l await your next ridiculous comment 

except Watts was a no1 draft pic & Fritsch rookie listed

Watts never took an overhead mark in his life, Fritsch is our only classy player in the forward line

Misses far too many gettable goals No intensity! Trade

Christ, the insanity virus has struck this site yet again. Bunch of skittish schoolgirls.

Not a feeble argument at all. I reckon he is a player that lacks intensity and misses goals which incidently, would have put the game right out of reach. Until he remedies this ( and I'm not sure he ever will) he will continue to frustrate supporters. No one is of the trade table so to ridicule this is to minimise the opportunity to pick up a player that suits our needs better! That's my take! Or is he untradable???

I reckon I would leave it, if you had any say in what players to delist we wouldn't have a team.

I think we've worked out who we want to play in the forward half if Goodwin remains coach and it's not Melksham.

I'd certainly listen to offers on Fritsch, but I think we need to seriously look at how to improve our forwardline function. 

I know we didn't have Jackson for most of the year, but our forward half is somewhere between 9th and 14th. Get the forward line right and I think we'll become a much better team.

Ok thanks I'll delete that post!

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!

Looking a little foolish now ...

Your's and Elegt's great claim to fame and football knowledge is that you think Oliver is a good player

Well I would think that a two time Best and Fairest winner and All Australian makes him a tad better than good. But clearly thats your opinion and as I have so often said on this forum everyone has the right to an opinion!

I would rather keep him, but his defensive intensity is the biggest frustration for me. Refuses to chase

Would you entertain Fritsch for a power Key Forward?? Say Jesse Hogan?? or another?

Strange how the top quality intercept/rebounding opponents he keeps being matched up on keep having comparatively quiet games.

I know who I would rather keep between Weideman and Fritsch.  At least one of them actually marks the footy.....

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
