Trade Fritsch

[Gawndy the Great 7,336]

Yes frustrating but certainly not trade worthy. He has a great kicking technique. Problem is between his ears. 
 

Nevertheless he has to be a forward of centre link player. Great marking and field kicking. Even would be worth trialling one the wing.

That is not a reason to start a thread about trading him. And it's not what you initially said either.

Your position on Fritsch, like your position on most things, is untenable when you think it through even for a second.

In the games that mattered vs W Bulldogs, Sydney and Freo he kicked 2 goals 4. Games we needed to win. He should be converting more often but doesn't. Now, I'm not for a second blaming him for any of these loses but 2 Goals 4 in three games we needed to win is not a good return. He might be able  to fix his kicking deficiencies, but old techniques and habits are hard to break and I'm not confident that he can. I know why he misses but I won't bore you with an analysis. You want to keep him, fine, I want to trade him, at the end of the day it is after all, just my opinion. I'll ask the same question, is he in your opinion untradable?

I would prefer to sign him right now than trade him, so if that means he's "untradable" then sure.

If DL could get it out there, on social media, what a terrible shot at goal Fritta really is. Then the commentators would stop saying “what a beautiful kick of the ball” he is every time he takes a mark inside 50. His accuracy will improve out of site next year!!

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!

All off season he should   welded to Trac, discipline  and bulk up a few Kg.

Would take the club about 2 seconds to verify it were true (and why would he be getting a test by himself?) surely can't be right

Fritsch stays

But someone teaches him to kick straight

This thread should've been ignored last week. Instead people engage and now it looks like the forum is actually debating trading Fritsch.

And now I've stupidly bumped it.

[Cheesy D. Pun 1,762]

Ridiculous. 

[Youngwilliam 380]

No trading Fritch. We would pay dearly and I think we could get his kicking right. Easily a 40 goal player if sort that and I think it is mostly psychological. 

[whatwhat say what 18,917]

he's a 24 year old who has barely missed a game in his first three seasons in the league, and should only be getting better from here on in

trading him would be idiocy unless it was for something you couldn't say no to, like jeremy cameron where gw$ pick up 3/4 of his salary

Russell Robertson says hi. Went from the worst kick in the side to the best, in one pre season with help and practice.

Laughable rumour. 

Looks like it was written by a 12 year old on Discord. 

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,150]

Not sure if it's due to his laconic and easy going appearance on the footy field but he couldn't look less excited being out there on Saturday, particularly after his goals and vision of him when the final siren sounded.

I have no basis for this but I reckon he's found a suitor who has promised him more money and a set position  - just a gut feel, hope I'm wrong.

WE have had some shockers over the years but this thread must be close to the worst.

Unbelievable idea.

This thread is a joke.

Arguably our most skilled player. I would say he's probably the next best field kick after Salem. Reads the ball better then anyone on our team.

His very poor shot for goal this year let him down as well as his intensity around the ball at times. But the kid is 23, oozing potential on top of what he already has. One of our most promising players for sure.

I think he has had to really adjust a lot more then people give credit. He was used across half back and further up the ground for most of his 3 years at Melbourne. Was only late last season he was swung deeper forward which everyone on here was pleased with. He had a lot more attention from opposition partly because of how dangerous he can be but also because he is meant to be a second/third string marking forward and for a lot of the season was really the no.1 option in terms of actual effectiveness. 

How about we give him a chance to straighten up his shots for goal. He had 46 attempts/opportunities from just 16 games. I wont count Petracca who was next in line for shots at goal but the other two forwards next in shots were Weid (27 shots) and Melksham (23 shots) so Bayley is certainly putting himself in scoring opportunities.

Lol so he got dropped for being late because he was getting a Covid test and they left him behind? Jesus these rumors aren’t even good!

[Smokey 4,126]

What a great thread. Let's trade our leading goalkicker, who is highly skilled and takes a [censored] load of marks inside 50 and makes quality defenders look like b-graders regularly. 

Dumb.
