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 

     

    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: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
