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.

    the music here is worse than anything I’ve ever copped at the G. It’s disgraceful

    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

    Not nearly as loud though - only just noticed after you posted 

     

    McDonald makes a huge difference

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
