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

    Sounds like syndesmosis 

    They insert a plate for syndesmosis?

    '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.

    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'm literally just spit balling. I'd just wait for the doctors report lol

    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.

    I reckon if it’s a plate going in and he got stood on, it’s potentially a lisfranc injury

    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

    Fritta 7-8 weeks according to club. TMac 4-6. That’s our 2 best forwards from the last 5 years.

    Time to get inventive.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
