Incidentally, his dad stopped playing footy only a few years ago. He’d possibly still be playing now only he quit when he equalled the games played record at Coldstream FC because the guy who held the record on his own had recently lost his daughter to cancer and Scott didn’t wanna take the title away from him. Now they share the title. 

what was the record, wcw?

    The longer this is delayed, the more likely you'd have to think the club is consulting specialists/surgeons for second opinions.

    Melksham & Dunstan both had their scan the same day as Fritta.

    Also suggest we update the title when we know because every time i see it pop up the top of the threads i have to relive 10 seconds of hell thinking the worst news has come to light every single time.

    Or there is nothing to report? 🤷‍♀️

    @WalkingCivilWar said it was a routine pre scheduled scan that would have taken place either way. 
    I assume 100 players a week get routine scans that are never reported on. 
     

    Edit: have you heard anything to contrary?

    I assume there is nothing routine about having a scan on a surgically repaired foot which you clearly re-injured to some degree during your return game.

    I know nothing but i'll ask. Club have kept this under wraps (even more concerning).

    It’s possible they scan it at regular intervals to ensure there is no infection/ swelling given he’s had screws and plates put in  

    He came back on and looked very good and seemed very happy post game. So unless it’s gone south badly since, it seems unlikely it was anything serious.

    An hour ago the club on its website put up an article on Fritta.

    ‘Fritsch firing just in time for finals’

    Surely you don’t put a headline like that if something is amiss. I’m hoping anyway .

    Hopefully! He's so vital.

    Definitely agree but would love to hear it straight.

    I'd be amazed if he wasn't scanned after first game back.

    You overestimate internal communication at big organizations!

    Lest we forget the 2017 finals marketing fiasco 😠

    That said I think Fritsch is fine. There’s been no reason to think otherwise outside internet rumors.

    I work in internal comms for a company 10x the size of mfc. whoever was sending that out would have had it audited and reviewed prior to sending. no way they do it if the scans were bad.

    also, no update yet because the scans were precautionary and routine thus not announced by the club officially. therefore, no reason to proactively communicate the outcome given they didn't communicate the scan to begin with.

    Watch the last Quarter. 
    there is no way Fritta could run and compete, the way he did, if he had a serious injury to his foot, even if he had a pain killing jab. 
    Whatch his run up when going for goal, looks great.

    There was also a furore when Max got scans a few weeks ago but we were informed it was a scheduled scan & no more came if it. If it’s purely scheduled to see how the foot pulled up after the first big work out …not sure why supporters need to be informed about that ?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
