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. 

great news 

now we need some Goals Fritta


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.

      He just retired ......... Played some games with Port Adelaide.           J W, Does that ring a bell?


Very happy. Had he kicked straight this year we would be in the finals.

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.

no wonder so many of the draftees cant kick!


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

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.

This is the most concerning observation of all. 

Good on you Dee's another quality kid that will be part of our rise up the ladder in 2021 and thanks for the vote of confidence Bayley.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
