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.

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.❤️💙

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.

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.

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

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
