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.

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.

We need to keep control of the game.

Tempo footy, no momentum changes.

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

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
