Plates in feet are rarely "minor" .... perhaps a little less so if it is an ankle.

So no inside leaks as to which it is?   

Is it the same foot that kept him out at the start of the season? 😠

She’s already posted yesterday that he’s going for surgery today and it’s serious but potentially not season ending. 

I must have missed it, cheers @Jaded No More

'potentially not season ending' is something as I was bracing myself for 'potentially career threatening'.

Me too, but @WalkingCivilWar said it might not be season ending, which means it's definitely not career threatening.

Although it might be the sort of injury that hampers him for a long time to come, especially if it's foot related, which we know is a persistent [censored].

That's what I'm thinking. Like it could be something you look back to and notice how he moved differently before it. Hope not, all we can do is hope not.

Sounds like syndesmosis

They insert a plate for syndesmosis? 

My understanding, perhaps flawed, is that a syndesmosis injury gets screwed, not plated.

Sorry I missed that part.

Rough guess and say Navicular.

OMFG these diagnosis are getting worse and worse.

Navicular is 12 months is it not? How could he possibly play again this year if it's a navicular?

I am going to wait for a real update before I hyperventilate. 

No doubt the club's injury report will be "foot - TBC"

I wish the club would understand how much their supporters stress about these sorts of things.

Not to give us any sort of update three days out from the incident is pretty poor communication back to those that give up their hard earned for this football club.

Put him in cotton wool and get him ready for next year.

Move Kozzy into his role and give the kid a role to play as he is as lost as the city of Atlantis.

There are many other factors we need to get right to win a flag other than Fritta. He won’t be the difference either way and that foot hasn’t been right all year.

Ouch. Fritsch is done if it’s needing a plate. He’s the only bloke who can kick straight!!

Yep..literally the only player we have who can kick straight consistently. FML. 5.15 might look like the good old days soon.  he's going to be a massive loss.

a thought out of left field

I wonder how disco would go up forward. He's just languishing in the magoos because our back spots are so tight.

he's a great kick, mark and interceptor. If he played like a defender in the backline, he'd just have to mark, turn around a and kick goals - lol

Out for 7-8 weeks

Fritsch 7-8 weeks all going well.

Hibberd could be available for the Lions.

No mention of Verrall who wasn't seen much in the 2nd half. Hopefully just playing limited minutes.

Willing to bet Fritsch’s injury was just waiting to happen and he was being managed with it from the start of the season.

    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.
