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 ?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
