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.

I have NEVER said to Trade OLIVER! Don't misquote me and if you do please feel free to find posts where I have said this! otherwise keep your fiction away from facts!

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.....

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
