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. 🤣

So we KNOW this?

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?

It’s on the AFL and club news sites mate. 
Knock yourself out. 🤙

So true.

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
