    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?

    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…

    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.

    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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
