If Fritta is out, why wouldn't they play him?

Maybe they wanted four full quarters into him? Dwayne said he played well

 

with the immobile Ben Brown we look too tall with Gawn and Grundy. 

JVR should be looked at to come in for BB

    Yep.  Had to be one.  Gawn was tackled during a marking contest prior to that with no free also.

    That was a ridiculous miss by the umpires. Nankervis is getting frustrated and lining up Max whenever he can.

    Too tall.

    JVR has to earn a game over T Mc and BBB.

    Brown’s game has been harshly judged, couple of costly drops but mostly playing his role.

    I had the same issue but it could have been because my air-con has decided to suddenly trip the circuit breaker 

    The manhandling of Gawn continues with zero consequences

    We need to keep control of the game.

    Tempo footy, no momentum changes.

    Oh yea, no injuries.

    Yeah, why can't he be best on ground like every other Melbourne player?

    Great to see the bloody hypocrites at AFL HQ continuing to say the head is sacrosanct - yet Max gets punched and elbowed at every marking contest without any penalty.  
    Sickening hypocrisy.

    I’m pretty sure we need to control risk of injuries given the heat and that the season starts in 2 weeks. 
    The final score is rather unimportant. 
     

    Prestia hurt his shoulder. I rather not see Oliver or Trac do the same.

    If it happened it would be picked up by cameras and blokes would be getting rubbed out. Simple really....

    It doesn't happen because no one is going out there deliberately stomping on other players foot. 

    To think that the club won't release information regarding Bayleys foot because it might instigate opposition players deliberately stepping on his foot is plain laughable. 

    My last comment on this. It's game day mode for me now.

    It might be YOUR last comment on this. It’s not mine. I can tell you with full confidence that one of the reasons the Club is keeping Fritta’s injury details quiet is to prevent opposition players from targeting him. As I mentioned before, Clarrie told me HIMSELF that this happens. I’m inclined to believe Clarrie. Aren’t you?

    JVRs pretty good on second and third efforts at ground level too though. I'd argue he's a better straight swap for Fritta than TMAC or BB if he had to come in.

    Updated my post, no injuries. 

    Last season we would let the opposition back in the game.

    I am hoping we have changed this year.

    Players still get targeted, no doubt about it. 
    it now must be done very discreetly….

    Sure, but the 2 talls are in regardless of Fritsch.

    Theyve gone with Chandler and Laurie in Fritsch’s roles. Losing some height but getting more mobility

    McDonald makes a huge difference

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
