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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
