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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
