2 years is ok, I wonder what the salary is hopefully we didn't give him more than the average wage

Better than an average player so he would deserve it. Of the 44 players on our list clearly in the 22

This guy is a gem! 

Despite some goalkicking issues, he still hit the scoreboard and was a fantastic undersized target.

With games back to 20-minute quarters and a full 22 game fixture, it's not unreasonable to think he might kick 40+ goals next year.

He has been a great find and exactly the kind of left-field recruiting we need to replicate, if we're going to make a run over the next few years.

 

Dear Mr Fritsch please stand in front of a set of goals at your local park for four hours every day and practice kicking goals.

2 years is a good extension for him, he’s got some very good attributes but there are plenty of things he needs to work on (starting with accuracy!). 

And Max, I’m sure it was a joke but don’t name him as the future Coleman medal winner again!

He’s pretty average really but could be great in a team with some great forwards to complement his poor kicking.

I suggest a set of wireless earbuds programmed with every distractive noise you can think of.

The aim is to completely zone out everything and kick.

Can't do much harm.

Plus study every ground and work out how far you can lead to the pocket before substantially reducing your accuracy.

Let's face it he only needs to turn one of those behinds each week into a goal and he's a top ten goalkicker.

Pity he can't practice at the MCG but we just have to be smarter with some of our training

No coq he is only problem his results are a bit over average when he could have top results irrespective of the other forwards in the team.

He is hamstrung by his lack of confidence and Swagger fir want of a better word. 

Kicking is in his head IMO and he needs to bulk up to be better in marking duels and fir tackling.

He is a beautiful natural kick. Watch him before a game, doesn’t miss. He has a big case of the yips. A sports psychologist is needed. Get his head right and he could be a gun


I like this quote:

“I’m looking forward to coming back next year and really driving all the forwards to hopefully be one of the better forward groups in the comp and ultimately get some team success.”

Absolutely DD it's all in the head!

BUT greater bulk for marking Fuels and tackling AND smarter leading down field not to the pockets Will give Fritta a big season 45/50 goals even.

The fact that important players sign on for only 2 years is a bit of a worry. It shows they want to keep their options open.

Not sure he needs to bulk up but I'm no expert.

It seems to me that he is rarely out-marked or knocked off the ball, even with such a slight frame.

Disagree Cheesy he can be ragged a bit but still has some good skills fir his physique in marking etc. 

BUT tackling needs more bulk to hold ball in and Bailey can get bigger and I believe even fitter like say Trac who must be the benchmark NOW.

Club can't win Bingers give them 4/5 years like Tommy and Harmesy and all D/L come down in FD.

I am happy Trac only did a 2 but you can resign ( as fir Goody !!!!) early like Tivers if pressure is coming to retain etc.

Or potentially backing themselves to earn bigger $$ at their peak / after consistent performances.

So much potential.

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. 

It's in the head not technique and Bayley could slo bulk up etc and msybe smile and enjoy his footy rather than look as though the world depends upon him.

Future A grader if we develop properly!!

 Maybe we should have recruited Oscar McInerney out of the same ‘left field’? ? Both came from the Casey Demons and now Oscar is a cult figure at Brisbane (and will probably feature in the Grand Final).

spot on, his body work 1on1 is class times and executes it perfectly to unbalance oppo + he can leap too

we really liked him i remember, brissie jumped in ahead of us in the rookie draft we ended up with bull smith and kielty, but the big o was absolutely on the radar. i guess we saw more in flip too ?‍♂️ at least we know now just to poach ruckman or wait till theyve developed

 

Love Bailey. He created enough opportunities vs Essendon that he could have easily kicked 7 or 8 (a couple of close missed marks on the goal-line, a couple hand-offs, and some poor shots on goal), but there's not many players in the AFL you can say that about. I'm pretty confident he will come back from the yips. Add an extra key forward to the mix and he slides down a spot in terms of defenders - such a difficult match-up. Would hate to play against him. Happiest signing since Trac for me.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
