Got Gus good

I wouldn’t say Fritta’s had a quiet season. I believe he’s our leading goal kicker with 17 (with BBB second on 16).

He was quiet today. I’ll grant you that.

Not sure you could call Fritsch’s season quiet, averaging 2 goals game as third tall (if you can  call it that) and has kicked a goal in every game so far this season.

Am guilty of saying he has been average, most goals came over a two week period. I think Fritta is a victim of our expectations, I rate him very highly so probably have unfair expectations of him

Lever - is playing sore

Definitely Chook. Was unable to run to the ball at speed and looked lame at the end as he walked off. Needs to be rested until he is fully mended. 

 

He's certainly been quieter than last year (especially today) but I haven't minded Fritsch's season so far. He's still on track for 40+ goals which would be a great return from a third tall. Also, I feel that he's been involved in setting up his teammates for goals a fair bit more this year.

EDIT: Just checked the stats and Fritta is ranked third at the club for goal assists this year. Only behind ANB and Petracca.

Petty: not his best. (Too many infringements)

Are you joking

I think it's Fritta's last three weeks that have been quiet, but that's ok. Not worried at all.

No. Perhaps read what I wrote and consider it carefully.

I said it wasn’t Petty’s best. I have seen him play better games.
Apparently you think it was his best game.

He gave away four free kicks which I think is too many. (The team gave away 18. The other members of the back seven gave away a total of five.)
Apparently you don’t think four is too many. How many do you think would be too many, then?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
