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.

Agree Thbt JVR certainly earnt a return to the seniors but these injuries are really going to test our depth as we need a bit of height against the Saints and Lions let’s see just how inventive the Footy department can be.!!

    Everything is an opportunity. JVR, and Brown will be well served by Marvel. You’d also think we might back Tomlinson in and play Petty forward if needed too. Oddly it’s a good time for us to be playing on a guaranteed dry deck. Get some confidence back in our skills.

    Was thinking about May forward. Becoming a little sloppy below his knees and might be a good change to have some half decent leadership forward.

    Wiling to bet this was an injury for Fritsch just waiting to happen and he was being managed with it from the start of the season.

    He has definitely been carrying something , we knew it was stood on already in pre season and the load of playing footy was probably slowing down recovery. 
     

    They took a chance on him getting through the season and it didn’t pay off. Can’t really blame them. Think May I’m the 2021 GF. You win some and lose some.

    Fritsch 7-8 weeks all going well.

    All will go well, probably better and sooner than expected. The surgery went as well as was hoped for and Fritta has this incredible healing ability. It runs in their family. He’s in really good spirits and that’s always a good thing. He should be ready for finals.

    Incidentally, he did what I did in December at our AFLW B&F... Rolled his left ankle which caused a small fracture in a bone in his foot. That’s  where the similarity ends. He didn’t do it running in platform sandals on uneven ground while drunk, and I’m not an elite AFL footballer. 😁

    So it’s NOT the dreaded navicular or lisfranc?

    Neither. It’s a very small fracture in a very small bone. The rolling of his ankle caused it. The fact that it’s the same foot that was stomped on before round one doesn’t have any bearing on this one.

    Well thank god for that! I was prepared for the worst. 

    Send him our best wishes! 
     

    By the way, how close are you with Clayton’s mum? Can you tell her that I can no longer live without Clarry and he has to come back and play please? 😂

    I think Petty needs to go forward again, with JVR and possibly Brown. Do they all fit? The Dogs have Ugle, Naughton and Lobb. Tomlinson back in to defence. Whatever the club decides, they need to stick with it hoping it will gel come September

    Will definitely send everyone’s best wishes, the family really does appreciate it. 💖

    As for Clarry… cheeky bugger never thinks of telling his mum anything. She finds out everything about him by watching the news, just like the rest of us. 🤣

    And what small bone in the foot needs a plate but isn’t very important??

    I’m just going by what has been said here and the fact that a navicular or lisfranc would require a much longer recovery than 7-8 weeks. 
    I wonder where @Webber is. He probably knows more than us.

    Who said it isn’t an important bone? I know I didn’t. I said it was a very small bone; small as in physical size, not as in importance.

    Besides, I’m sure every bone in one’s foot is important. You get a tiny fracture in one of them and they’ll remind you of how important they are with every step you take. 😭

    Hi Guys

     

    I missed the game on GWS as I was working. How bad is Fritsch injury and how long do we expect him out for?

    So true. 
    The amount of times I’ve broken little toes and you think “who cares, what are these toes even for”, and you find out they are for walking and stuff 🤪

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
