Dermott Brereton on Bayley Fritsch

The MRP adjudicated the North incident as no case to answer (looked accidental to me). I don’t recall the incident with Grainger-Barass he refers to. Nobody seriously questioned the Hind incident either

Just more standard Dermie guff

    As dumb and poorly worded as Dermie put it, he has walked the line a few times, the one on North guy especially. 
    But the point I think he was trying to get to (he always does ramble for ages) is that Fritta needs to be careful as the next one prob will be a suspension and that would hurt us. Especially if it occurs in a final.

    Boo [censored] hoo Dermott. It’s a contact sport (though it’s getting softer every week), what Fritsch did was fine. I was actually quite surprised he was so physical in that particular contest, as I reckon Bayley is a bit on the soft side.

    The man who uses 2000 words to explain something that could be explained in 20. Apart from that, don’t mind Derm.

    He really does trip over his own explanations with some frequency...

    Just like he tripped over Rayden Tallis' head that time

    I seem to recall Dermie running through the bombers team huddle ooking for a fight.

    Stomping on someone's head.

    Calling a line in the sand.

    But Bailey Fritch is walking a fine line?

    Geez the media is having a bit of a crack at us at the moment. Kinda like they would love us to fall in a heap? Go shove it up their collective (orifices that produce bodily refuse), Dees

    Plenty of other players he could highlight before Bailey

    Are we talking about the incident where beanpole fritsch hip-and- shouldered DGB fairly in a marking contest?

    Pretty sure it's not baileys fault that DGBs shoulders are made of glass.

    If my memory serves me correctly, Fritta's been clocked in the head 3 or 4 times already this season, and they haven't always been paid free kicks. Duhmee must've missed those

    Is that the same Dermie who was adamant the Dogs were the better side than Melbourne in round 11 for the most of the night despite us leading by 40 odd points in the second half.

    Inaccurate, and hypocritical, but just a little entertaining in typical Dermie style.

    Fritta is about the least likely on our list to cause physical pain to an opposition player - other than by accident 

    Dermie is a fool of the highest order the sooner he is sent to pasture the better

    Make no mistake.
    Fritta's sneaky mean.
    The forearm wasn't an accident and neither was the essendon fella into the goal post.
    I particularly enjoyed that one and watching him slink away like nothing happened.

    So eloquently put. Well said sir!!

    From the bloke who kneed Mark Yeates in the testicles and proceeded to say disparaging things about his girlfriend as he was getting carted off the ground, he should at least have the common sense to preface his remarks with ‘maybe I’m not the bloke to be casting aspersions here’..

    Maybe we could lobby the Coodabeens to change the lyrics of Dermott Brereton is a Hood to Bayley Fritsch is a hood?

    I reckon dermie has even James Joyce covered for describing mundane things to the nth degree

    I rate Bailey highly. He is a skinny bugger but still manages to use his body. We would be in strife without him

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
