Right on the shortlist of my favourite things to see in a game is when a player has a poor start but keeps working at it and cracks through to end with a great game. Also on that list is when a player is notably doing the team-first things more than they usually do and then find that they've ended up having one of the best games of their career.

    I seem to recall Malcolm Blight did something similar. It was the game where he kicked that monster goal after the siren to win the game. I think he kicked two other goals before that one, perhaps all in time-on, but perhaps not in 3 minutes.

    I think Neale Daniher did it one year against the Swans?? Goals from time on in the last quarter to win the game for the Dons??

    Round 22 1990 v St Kilda.

    "Daniher revealed on radio the day Sheeds swapped him with his brother Terry in the closing stages at Princes Park.

    Trailing by four goals in time on, the half back flanker moved forward and kicked the last two goals to see the Bombers home by a point.

    “I know why Sheeds did it, my brother Terry wasn’t getting a kick,” Daniher joked.

    “I said to Kevin at three quarter time, how long are you going to put up with this, any danger of getting Terry out of there?

    “We finally got him out of there and I went forward, we crossed over and I said to Terry, about time.”

    I don’t really care for Malcolm terrible commentator and I think Frittata broke his record, Blight had a huge crowd and strong wind at his back.!!!!! Besides I don’t want to dwell on anyone but our Bayley Fritsch.!!!!

    I love your passion for the Dees.

    (However, if you consider it impartially, three goals in time on, including one after the siren with a kick of about 70m with a heavy ball, to win a game really is a better achievement than three goals in 3 minutes for a game already won. But you're right...today it should be all about Fritsch)

    It was actually against Carlton at Princes Park in Round 20, 1981.

    The 1990 game was Neale's last when all four Daniher brothers played together.

    edit:  Responding to Jumbo Returns.  How dare somebody else post while I'm composing mine!

    Easy to praise the man after kicking 7 goals but just wanted to acknowledge the improvement in his goal kicking.

    He has now kicked 46.18 for the year.

    Outstanding accuracy by any measure but particularly for someone that used to look shaky in front of goal.

    Also brought up his 100th goal with his second major of the day. Kids a jet.

    Noticed the Jason Dunstall method of goal kicking this weekend just run in and kick straight over the man on the mark!!

    He's always been a good kick. I think for him, Brown and Weids it's all in the head. Once the confidence drops/it's a tight game the goal kicking is less reliable. Even the relatively easy shots are missed.

    Funny how Peter Wright got #1 in top 10 highlights for the week for his 7 goals but Fritsch didn’t even make 10th spot. Seems a goal by David Mundy directly in front is more impressive.

     

    Am i the only one who finds that top 10 completely bias against the dees (and always more favourable to interstate teams?)

    Was outstanding in that department today.

    I thought his defensive pressure first half was lamentable. Didn't predict this day out. He actually got a free directly in front as well which fell in Petraccas lap to advantage for a goal.

    In the whole scheme of things who cares? Just some AFL journos opinions.  

    You, me and all other Demon supporters know he kicked seven. Most other AFL supporters will know as well. I don't need the AFL website to tell me what's important.

    August 15th 2021 the day Fritsch went to town, I have watched a lot of footy in my life But never seen anyone kick 3 goals in under 3 minutes before, our midfield did him proud. Well done Bayley Fritsch what an exhibition of great kicking in swirly conditions.

    Go Bayley, Go Dees. !!!!!!!!

    Sorry Bayley I just watched the last quarter again it was 3 goals in 1:38, that is amazing.!!!!!

    Don't get me wrong I love Bailey and kicking 7 in any game is impressive. But Wright did it against a top 4 side, he was a catalyst in an upset win and was imposing while booting a few from beyond 50m in crucial stages to get his side over the line.

    Bailey kicked 7 against a mediocre side that gave him so much space and time. He kicked those last three in junk time when the game was done and dusted. He was too skilled, classy and smart for the opposition.

    Again I'm so glad he kicked the bag and should go into September full of confidence. But there's reasons why it wasn't as impressive to the AFL media than Wrights game.

    He kicked the last 3 goals in the last 1min 26 seconds of the game. Quite a feat

    According to Healy he holds the record for that feat.

    I thought he was joking with that comment altho there couldn't be too many more players that have kicked 3 goals in less time. Not sure they would have the stats for that going back very far...

    1m 26s left is the very definition of junk time goals!

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
