Good to see,    gets the ball so well,  wish he could kick the goals more consistently.   

 

Oh for a Goal Kicking or forward coach who can fix things.  Do we have one ?

    Good signing and 2 year deal fair length. Hard match up who will only get better with more preseasons and games.  Offers good positional flexibility which will become more important as list sizes reduce in coming years.

    He needs to toss out whatever Stafford tried to teach him and do his own thing moving forward. 
    Such a pure striker of the ball but this year his overall accuracy went down the toilet. 
     

    Great news to have him for another two.

    Sometimes I think with all these line coaches trying to justify their existence confuse players and they reduce what made them good in the first place.

    Very skillful and only 24 has plenty of upside .  Imo his best position is in the forward line and just needs to nail the gettable goals and he can become a 40 to 50 plus goal kicker.  That is a great signing.     Well done Fritta.

    Goals win games. Why wouldn’t a previous sharpshooter who had a great kicking technique be a top priority over summer. The kicking technique of some of today’s footballers is staggering.

    Good news.
     

    I believe he signed in the wrong place twice before finally slotting his signature in the right spot.  ????

    but the media release says he “plays with integrity “. (Wtf)

    Let’s face it if had of kicked straight this year he would be talked about just behind Petracca, Oliver, May and Gawn. Bailey has some freakish qualities and has more shots for goal than a mid sized forward should have.  
    Doesn’t need a kicking coach, just needs to sort his head and he will be in All Australian contention

    I would have re-signed him too, but a few saying 'he will only get better', well, he's only gotten worse as of late. Hope he can get his set shot routine working, work on his contest side/tackling and I hope we get a forward coach who can use him in a more productive manner. Why would a left footer, constantly lead to the wrong pocket? With added forward craft from a good forward coach, he'll hopefully have a greater chance of improving his conversion.

    I watched an under 15's game a few years ago and one team had bloody line coaches.

    Listened to the coach addresses at each break and walked away in disbelief how they expected 14 year old kids to understand the rubbish they we talking.

    Just another example of how the AFL is infiltrating and in my opinion negatively influencing junior footy.

    It’s great that he has decided to continue playing footy with us while still filming episodes of Beavis and Butthead

    Great to see we have kept our best forward.

    The stats would indicate you’re correct.

    Only Hawkins, Dixon, Josh Kennedy, Tom Lynch, Charlie Cameron, Papley and Ben King had more scoring shots on goal than Fritsch.

    He kicked 37.28 in his first 2 seasons so you’d expect his accuracy to improve next year.

    Arguably a more important signing than Viney given his age profile, upside, dearth of forward options and the potential  headaches he poses for the opposition.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
