    So if there is NO DAMAGE ... Why the moonboot!???? 

    Suspect there is minor damage - hence the bruising

    But no further structural damage

    Plates, screws, scar tissue getting a grind or a decent yoink  -  consistent with all info so far, and the moon boot

    Moon boot for rest, stability, and to protect against inadvertently triping or rolling foot further, IE down stairs or similar 

    Play through the pain, win a flag, then lop it off for all I care...

    I would think that after any twisting injury it would be sore. Moon boot will stabilise the injury and help with swelling and healing. He will be right to kick 6 Thursday week.

    Strange? Not at all. This is how the Club successfully keeps things under wraps. Even players’ parents aren’t told things that the Club want kept secret.

    So, how did the journo find out? The journo in question is Clint Stanaway. Clint’s dad works for the Club, he does the strapping of players etc. and has done for 30 years.

    Mods, feel free to delete this post if you feel it may be problematic.

    PS: Fritta was surprised to hear his parents know about the moonboot and wanted to know how they found out. They found out when I sent them a screenshot of Clint’s tweet. I won’t be doing something like that again in a hurry.

    Anyways, again… Fritta’s foot won’t keep him from playing next week. And yes, @Dannyzthe scan was pre-planned. 

    Well this makes sense then.

    I keep thinking about when T-Mac had issues with the screws in his foot last year around this time. 🫣

    Some long nights with his foot in a bucket of ice.

    Have badly sprained my ankle from footy before and I think I was in more pain putting my foot in the bucket then thr actual injury!

    Did the job but..

    So let me get this straight..?

    journo's can find out first about the Fritsch news being in a moonboot before his own parents??

    Find that really strange. 

     

    Maybe there is really just nothing in it so Fritta didnt get in touch with them straight away?

    Why not? Clearly moonboots aren’t just for a new injury or re-injury, because Fritta’s not suffering either of those.

    Unnecessary worry right here. Understandable, but nonetheless unnecessary. 🙂

    There IS nothing in it. He didn’t tell his parents because the Club told him not to tell anyone.

    Moon boots hold the ankle in a neutral position, 90 degrees to the leg. The boots immobilise foot joints and reduce pressure on the bones, ligaments and tendons of the foot and ankle while still allowing for a relatively normal walking gait.

    Most people usually find that the moon boot can drastically reduce pain. It can help them get around without limping or the use of crutches

    It provides less stress on bones and ligaments then it would trying to limp around on without one.

    I think a lot of this publicity  is specifically for the collingwood army clicks. Heaps of views are possible if you're reporting on trouble for the opposition. Jesus I hate Collingwood. Fritsch to kick 6 on Thursday eve and shut those ferals up.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
