    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
