Can't remember if there's a thread about the importance of Frittata, but he ought to be the most influential offensive player in our list at the moment. Besides his goal kicking, he must have a lot of score involvements.

Should be AA this year IMO.

Does this mean you're suggesting we abandon the 'selfish" tag? I, for one, am with you, but you better move carefully round these here parts. Or carry a large umbrella.

I don't mind waking in the rain...😆

Couldn’t agree more El14 where would we be without Frittata he is so reliable tough and is developing a real sense of worth and the importance of celebrating his and teammates goals and efforts. Would have to be the coaches pet. Absolutely love our Champion No. 31.❤️💙


A legend, and definitely under-rated.

looking forward to the “is Fritsch too un-selfish” thread 

 

Bailey sees a gap and he goes for it 

his First goal last night was a perfect example. 
He has explosive pace off the mark which can put him in the clear. 
 

He is feline related….


Quick, cat like, a great freakish mark, and has become a very reliable kick. Super player, classy, and is so good to watch.

Only Trac came between Fritsch and a Norm Smith medal. Gun!!!

You mean we shouldn’t drop him for being selfish, despite being the only forward in our team who actually kicks goals consistently? I’m shook.

He’s coming into some very fine form. Filth will try and stop him, we could use him as a bit of a decoy next week.

Why Not.  After all he's sporting the same haircut as the last great Dees Decoy Full Forward.

 

Norm Smith

Talking of decoy forwards, my father used to say that Alan Rowarth did that job superbly for Big Bob Johnson many years ago. Big Bob was a star for Melbourne and Oakleigh. An enormous character, he deserves a thread of his own


I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. 

There have been a few times Fritta has burnt teammates. It wasn’t a good look for sure. But as Tracc explained in his post match interview, his specific job is to kick goals. If Spargo or Melk were doing that, I’d be filthy as that isn’t their role in the team. 

I remember someone on here said a few weeks ago Fritta was having a bad season (it may have been in a three word assessment by Joeboy but if it wasn’t, my apologies). I scoffed when I saw it. The only difference this year is that Fritta hasn’t kicked a bag like he did against North, the Dogs or the Crows. If anything, he’s become more consistent in his goals per match average.

Has clicked over 100 goals in ‘21 and this year combined.
Very intelligent player and brave too

0031, License to score.


He's awesome, always keeps his feet in contests. He can burst away and is also very good below the knees.

One of the best versatile forwards who can both play small and tall, and of course his goal kicking is elite.

I wonder if the media perception of him being selfish will hinder his AA selection.
Reckon there was a good argument for his inclusion last year.

You could make a decent case for AA but there are probably a few ahead of him at this point. Curnow, Hawkins and Jeremy Cameron are locked in you'd think. Rightly or wrongly, the selectors like to throw goalkicking mids on the flanks, so those spots will probably go to Petracca and one of Bontempelli, Rozee or Cripps. 

Fritsch probably competing with Heeney and Charlie Cameron for the other spot. As good as Fritsch has been, Heeney has probably been better tbh.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
