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?

Pretty sure all clubs try to keep injuries under wrap especially those that can be easily targetted in future games.

Lots of porkies are told by clubs but realistically there are no secrets in AFL.  News gets out one way or another if not to the media certainly to other clubs.  Everyone knows about Fritta's foot injury - it was mentioned in training reports and I'm sure lazy media read them.

Good players get physically targetted even if not injured.

    Anyone else notice Petracca was slightly limping when he walked off at half time - favouring his left leg😟

    2 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    anb really good through the middle

    Finally picked up a holding here to ANB.  Wish they'd look at the Clarry match up a bit more.  Getting held off the ball quite a bit ... no frees

    That’s his gait. By now it’s like saying Neitz used to wobble as he walked

    That would have been some goal if Clarry could have finished. He's looking sharp.

    Rivers great endeavour in general but a bit scatter gun with his kicking at times.  Bit of work to do there.

    Sparrow's made about three rookie errors this quarter.  That last one on the mark costing us a goal.

    Clarry out of the middle there taking on everyone ahead of him lol.  Nearly came off

    Oliver almost with goal of the year.

    11 min to go in the third.

    Tigers kick three in a row in about 4 mins

    Tiger smalls coming into the game a little more and theyve upped the effort side

    Demons 11.8. 74

    Tigers 7.7 43

    We’ve dropped intensity here with some silly decision making and half hearted contest. Would be nice to put it away with the breeze then slow tempo in the last

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
