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.

    The club put a post on the web site about an hour titled Fritsch firing in time for finals, don't know why they would do that if he was in doubt.

    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 ?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
