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.

Especially when you keep using them.

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. 😁

Was it Viney Or Tmac?

Yep 😰 ....better than it used to be ...but still definitely certifiable.

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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
