I don't rate his hairstyle.......

In a recent interview he said he didn't like how much attention his hair had been getting and thought he would have to change it. So I guess everyone will be able to have another opinion.

 

I’m genuinely surprised at the level of criticism aimed at some of our players.

Fritsch has been outstanding this year. To hear some people say he can’t be played anywhere else when his first season he played exclusively off half back is odd. He’s a very talented football player.

And Gawn was ‘fumbly’ and out of touch on the weekend - but somehow picked up 9 votes from the 2 blokes paid $500k each to understand the game.

I know we are in unfamiliar territory here Dee’s fans, but it’s ok to appreciate what you’ve got.

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.

I’m more impressed with the fact that he’s been a lot better with his defensive pressure.

Was outstanding in that department today.

What a bizarre comment. Do you have something against Beavis?

Wrong one mon brave.

He has Butthead’s hairdo. ☝

That being said, there have been others who have got it more wrong than you.

First time today I saw him actually chase with intent.

Needs to keep this up come September.

Best in the forward line today. Excellent. Last quarter was his reward.

Absolutely agree, I was really enjoying saying things like “good work Fritta, great pressure!” The goals at the end were rewards for his hard work. His accuracy has massively improved!

I hope ha can carry his self belief forward, especially the next 4 (or 5 😡) games. Will be a key to any success we will have. 
PS mea culpa Q1 I was happy to have him as the one to make way for TMC. 


seems like just yesterday ( last year i think) he kicked 1.6 or 1.5 and he used to do kick like that regularly.  i just couldn’t figure him out bk then as he always has had the most balanced, fluent kicking style in our team imo. 

46.18 this year is an incredible return and 7 goals straight shows how far he’s come , but not just in kicking but  in all aspects of his game. Feel like  he’s our version of a Gunston. 

Interesting to remember we got him w the pick we got for Watts. Our recruiting in the past 5 years has been as good as it was bad in the 5 before that :-) 

He could easily finish top 3 in the Coleman race. Absolutely insane for a medium forward.

He could indeed - currently 6th with 46 (equal w Charlie Dixon).  A number of those above him may not play next week - Hawkins (50), Bruce (48), Walker (48).

If he finishes top 3 in the coleman, he should be All Australian as the third tall (I know that's not how they select it) - other than Charlie Cameron, all the others around him are key forwards.

The AA is all over the place, didn’t Dusty make it as a forward pocket a couple of years ago?

I predict Fristch will end up with 56 goals and fall just short of McKay. Hawkins could go past if McKay provided Cameron doesn't take too many goals off him.

A fantastic effort nonetheless by Fritter, and an inspired bit of trading/drafting to use the pick we traded for Jack Watts for a 45-50 goal a year mid forward.

I always said the AA should have two sides. The blue and the red teams. Each side has alternating picks for positions. That way it would be more representative of actual talent for position.

A AA second team would be good. Kinda like how the NBA does it

His inaccuracy (particularly kicking for clutch goals) drove me nuts

Yesterday, everything clicked - calm and composed

Wattsy would have more (just sayin....😉)


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. !!!!!!!!

In game time it was about a minute and half.

Possibly one for the records page but I think the last Demon to kick 50+ in the H&A season is was Neitz (TMac got 50 in the finals series). Would love Fritta to get 4+ next week to break that.

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 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.!!!!

  • 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.
