Bayley Fritsch was also sent for a scan on Monday, with the Demons yet to confirm whether the important forward is battling an injury concern.

 

surely if he is being sent for scans, there4 is a concern of some sort......   any ideas what may be wrong ??

    Sounds like he’s been carrying something or the same issue that caused him to miss the first few rounds. He’s nowhere near at his best and we desperately need him to be. Fingers crossed he’s ok 👍🏻

    At a guess it'll be the same periodical scans that T-Mac gets to monitor his ongoing issues. There will always be a vulture posted outside where they get them done lest there be a headline to write.

    Playing injured for majority of the season and still well on his way to a 45 goal a season.

    This might be a dumb idea, but this could be a good time to rest him until after the bye and get him good to go for the back half of the season. We need him at his best.

    We have 4 incredibly difficult and important games coming up. This is not the time to rest our best goal kicker.

    Hence it could be dumb, but we didn't manage our players well last year and it left us limping into the finals and out in straight sets.

    We are not sitting 10-0 this year. We need to secure at least two of the next four wins or we may not even make top 4.

    Paging @WalkingCivilWar for the latest

    I don’t know why he was sent for scans. I could find out but I’d rather not. If I’m told I can’t say anything anyways.

    Pretty sure WCW and Fritchybusiness have known about this for a while now.

    Keeping mum though

    Obviously no updates on Fritta at 11.27pm?

    Howsabout an update at 12:12am? 😁There’s nothing to be concerned about. No new injury. The scans are scheduled ahead of time and at regular intervals. It’s part of his treatment.

    This is why I lured you into this thread. I knew you would give us something!

     Our thanks to Mrs Fritta

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
