Fritsch for Brown...get real

We need some more forward power

Without Petracca and a couple of lucky goals...Jordan 100 metre penalty...T Mac after the Essendon player knocked himself out on the behind post..

We lost the match

Yeah... so that actually what happens when you don't kick goals in any game, you lose the match.

But cheers C Obvious.

The simpletons continue to say nonsensical things. 

The knocks on Fritsch are absolutely fair. And the fact that his name has come up as a forward to drop is justified and reasonable. 

We all know his strengths and that he is a weapon offensively. But those strengths have been absent for the last two games and due to his mostly incompetent efforts and willingness join in defensively, then his place in the side should obviously be up for discussion. 

Posters should really stop bringing up his what he's don't previously. It's irrelevant. This is a rolling season and our players must be contributing weekly of they want to keep their spot. 

Fritsch might be given another chance this weekend but it wouldn't surprise me if he was dropped. 

BB deserves another chance a Jones is next in line. 

BB for Fritsch imo. But I imagine they'll go with BB for Sparrow. 

If they ever drop fritsch I’ll burn down the MFC

In case you didn't notice Essendon had a few lucky goals as well, they happen in every match.

The knocks on Fritsch are fair - he can go missing and his pressure is not always good. But that equating to him being dropped is a long bow to draw.  He is our best goalkicker and is finally kicking straight.  our most marks inside 50. He also sets up a lot of goals.  He will benefit greatly from BB coming in. A lot of medium fwds go missing in games especially when the games are tighter and more contested in winter

Out best fwd line is  BB / T mac / LJ / Kozzi  / Spargo / ANB.  replace BB with Weed is form warrants it.  right now we dont have enough marking targets inside 50

Dropping Fritsch is a long bow - but he's not in your best forward line set-up. OK ...

I don't think Pickett needs a rest

He needs reps and games. 

He needs some good coaching (which no doubt will happen) about positioning and doing the fundamentals over the flashy at the moment 

I would just set him some very basic tasks to achieve the next few weeks without asking him to push up the ground.  Focus on getting the front and square crumbing work happening as well as his pressure aspect.  Add to that some help with penetration on his kicking and kicking through the pill.  At the momentfrom what i'm seeing as an amateur he appears to be leaning back on that final step and pulling most of his kicks.

Reckon he'll get back to doing what he's best at if the FD work on the basics above before asking too much up the ground / through the middle etc.  Get the basics right first and hopefully from there the belief and confidence will grow ....form should follow from there.

After Goody's presser and comments about Pickett's pressure numbers I recall my earlier statement.

Still believe we need Brown in ASAP if he is now fit, as we need to sort this forward line out before finals and even before the last few weeks when we play Dogs and Cats.

Brown in and Sparrow out

Yea not sure how our leading goal kicker isn’t in our best fwd line. He is 2nd player selected after Tmac atm up fwd, as much as pressure and tackles can help it’s ultimately about kicking goals and over the year he is doing that better than anyone else

We generally play 7 forwards to allow for rotations, so there's still room for ANB. However, under this model, Pickett and possibly ANB might have to chip in to assist with on ball rotations.

Is this a dig at us or a compliment?

We've scored 70 or more in 11 of our 14 games.

Our opponents have scored 70 or more in 5 of our 14 games.

Compliment, yeah?

that's too logical, tu ?

I think the weather will probably go against including Brown this weekend.

Looking at rain and periods of hail...for Saturday afternoon.

Hardly the stuff of key forwards.

If anything we might go in even smaller.

...but I suspect no change.

Third hand word.  but is the same person who told me about Brown's six week mini preseason. BB is to play seniors this week. The club really happy with his GPS numbers last week. If you watched the game on turnover BB would sprint up the centre of ground defensively and that plus he was able to get into game on scoreboard has scored him a game apparently.

Any idea who goes out Parma?

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
