What sort of concern?

Journalistic invisibility.

 

Seriously, why are people saying that they have sources on a player's medical condition?

If Fritta has the same mobility as he did when he came back on the ground, I'd play him regardless of the diagnosis.

His job is to sensationalize things, wouldn't be taking that as a reason to be concerned


Dee’s won’t say anything. He’ll either play or he won’t. I can’t see him missing but if WCW doesn’t make a call tonight then give me the number and I will.

Questions must be asked why we put him back on the ground in a dead rubber.

Understand that the scan is precautionary but shouldn't the first precaution have been not to make it worse.

So very Melbourne. FMD.

If he's damaged it, then it's season over anyway with only 5 weeks to go

So really it's to test out if he's OK, or prove he's not under match conditions

Seems like he's OK or damage is tollerable under match conditions

Routine scan. Would’ve been pre-scheduled for this morning regardless of how he got on yesterday. They scanned it to check everything: plates, screws etc.

of course there'd be "concerns"

even if there was the slightest of concerns, then after what happened on sunday you'd be negligent if you didn't send him off for precautionary scans

the way he came back on and played is cause to be optimistic

lets just wait and see. even if cleared on the scans they can still be very helpful to the physios to help in his normal post game recovery treatments.

He limped off in pain having hurt the foot he'd broken 7 weeks ago

He'd be having a scan post game because of whatever happened in the game, regardless of any prior plans

In that case, he definitely plays, alternating in the ruck with Max, chop out for Maysie and kicking the lazy six from the hotdog stand.

No, he was having the scan regardless.

Are we talking about Fritta's foot or Ralph's brain @WalkingCivilWar?

ralph's scan came back all clear

in fact they couldn't find anything ... except clearness


Seriously, every single AFL Player should have foot scans after every game. 
The running stress and directional changes within a match are off the charts 

Bailey was very chirpy and positive when interviewed in the rooms after the match, so it can’t be too bad, unless he woke up this morning with a reaction…

He will still be our best forward in a moon boot.  Push him out there 😉

Live scenes of Fritta celebrating his 7th goal in the grand final

I trust in WCW's intel.  Mitch Cleary ain't best friends with Momma Fritsch!

He could of got things confused with Momma Fritsch's fracture.


After his third quarter painful tippy toe through the tulips jaunt he moved freely all over the ground. Kicked a 50 metre goal and two sublime snaps. I’ll wait for the bad news from the club if any before I panic. If the news is bad I have bottle of Rivers Royale Kill Devil to end the misery.

Edited by John Crow Batty

Steven May played and played well in a GF with a significant tear in his hamstring. Fritta came back on and tore the game open.

I don’t care what the scan says, he’s good to go in the QF.

Plates and screws? Sounds like a cop show you might watch WCW after dinner!!🤣

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
