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!

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

    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.

    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 ...

    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.....

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
