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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
