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. 

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.

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. 

Nah. MFCSS and panic is right of passage.

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 ?

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
