    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.

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
