John Ralph, On the Couch just now implied there's concerns.....   FMD   

What sort of concern?

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.

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.

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 😉

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.

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
