    I was a doubter at the end of 2020 but his goal kicking improved dramatically. Now a dead eye in front of goal. Great news that he has signed on for 5 years

    Great News,

    Imagine going back in time to the sad era and telling yourself that a Melbourne player that kicked 6 in a winning Grand Final just re-signed for 5 years. I'd check myself into an asylum .

    Pay-Day for Bay-Bay. Deserves it, hopefully his form from this year is a stepping stone for the years ahead, what a gun.

    It's entirely possible that long term barracking for Melbourne made you snap, and everything that's happened since August is only an hallucination. Maybe in the real world Fritsch is negotiating to join Essendon? Wishing you a complete recovery!

    He would have got a 6 year extension but his last goal in the GF was in junk time.

    Excellent re-signing.

    I remember at the end of last season he remained un-signed and I was worried we were going to lose him as he'd had a wayward season in front of goal, he'd been dropped for sleeping in whilst in the hub and then there was the famous axing after the 2018 semi final. He could've been forgiven for wanting a fresh start I guess.

    Fast forward a year later and he's kicked 6 snags in a GF, almost kicked 60 for the season and he's now going to be a key part of our next 5 years.

    Well done to both parties.

    So not much chance of him coming to my place to fix the lights anytime soon then.

    He’s making the number “31” be famous all over again. 

    And trust it continues. Pick number 31 initially and wears number 31. Great omen and can only hope he does RDB's number proud going forward.

    Bailey has never had problems getting the ball and having shots on goal. This year though his accuracy was infinitely more reliable. 
    His GF spilt speccy over Gawn, cat-like and Robbie-like regather and goal is one of my all time favourites

    Great signing!  The sky is the limit for Fritta now that he is no longer our #1 forward target.

    Is that his name? You’d think it was Ron Barassi the way he gets mentioned any time he touches the ball. Annoys the [censored] out of me. 
     

    Anyway great news, always been a fan, couldn’t be happier.

    Deadset - who else is left for us to worry about losing? 

    This playing group has a fair bit left in them. Exciting times ahead.

    Wouldn't mind signing Gus and Charlie. Oliver OOC next year.  Not that I think they would leave.

    LJ unsigned but story a little while back that it is happening.

    Fully expect our stable list to continue for some years to come.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
