Fritsch sent for scans too

red and blue forever
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

 

Training right next to Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre, convenient for a scan but also unlucky if media are lurking. Getting us all worked up.

    Treatment for what?

    Treatment probably isn’t the right word. It’s routine scans and such to make sure the foot is sufficiently healed. It’s purely precautionary. Totally nothing to see here.

    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.

    If we couldnt get him good to go for much of the pre season why do you think resting him now for a couple of weeks will make a miraculous recovery?

    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.

    the resting time was North, Eagles and Hawthorn... not one unforced change. We even took Gawn to WA while injured so he could sit in the box.

    Okay I know nothing about high performance management but we seem to take the same approach. Winter is coming as they said............

    I believe that Fritta has had ongoing issues with his foot stemming from a preseason training foot stomping mishap.

    The accidental foot stomping is the sole source of the issue. There’s been no subsequent injuries or re-injuries. Feet take longer to heal.

    Thank you for clearing that up for me...it had lived as a question mark in some dark MFCSS part of my mind!

    Yeah 100% accidental. The teammate is understandably very sorry it happened but these things are liable to happen when training is taken so seriously, which is what you wanna see. So that’s one question mark you can erase from the MFCSS part of your mind. One down, a bazillion to go. Amirite 😁

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

    I thought his work against Port was great especially further up the ground when we couldn't find a link between the 50s

    Is it getting better at least?

    Harry Petty had his foot stomped on too. No doubt, at some point during 2025, he’ll be sent in for routine scans as a precaution and the news will cause pandemonium on Demonland.

    Definitely. And ahead of time. He has this amazing ability to heal really well and really early. Runs in their family apparently.

    Fritta is technically still in rehab. He has to follow all the rehab protocols eg. Zero alcohol, modified training. It’s just that he can play while rehabbing since it’s not one size fits all.

    Pretty much. I think I’m on 99% used. In case you haven’t noticed, I talk a lot. 🤭

    My foot is healing really slowly. Apparently it’s not the fracture that’s the issue, it’s the bone bruising and soft tissue damage. Fritta’s foot is likely a different kettle of fish. After all, he didn’t sustain his injury by running on uneven ground in platform sandals while drunk. 😁

    Nobody said miraculous recovery, nice strawman though.

    Don't think its unreasonable to suggest that time off legs would be beneficial for someone with a foot injury, particularly with the loads and forces that go through it during high intensty sport.

    I don't know the details of his injury and perhaps he isn't at risk of exacerbating it, hence why I said it could be a dumb suggestion. And now that it's been reported on here that it's a routine check up, and not an exacerbation or new injury, we can look forward to him playing.

    • 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.
