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

    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 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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
