Fantastic interview with Kade Andy. We are very blessed to have such well spoken and well presented guys at our club. Helps that they can play too.

 

Great interview Andy. Really enjoyed every minute of it. Chin kept his goal a game average too.

 

Thoroughly enjoyable interview.

Would not mind hearing at some stage from a member of MFC staff on how they manage the various player tiers on life/jobs after football.

One of the pluses Fritsch had by joining as a 21 year old is that he's now a qualified electrician with his own business. I have always been surprised that players with long term injuries (ACL etc) are not encouraged to take a mental break from the football environment and engage in outside activities while maintaining fitness. Similarly will we ever see senior players at say age 28 taking a year off in an effort to extend/improve their playing career.

Fine young man. Well spoken.
  Marginal player.  Needs to lift.   

That's a very strange take 

A marginal player? 

I presume by that you mean not quite best 22 and on the edge of being out of the team?

Apart from your personal assessment of his game, what evidence would you point to support that opinion?

If he was a marginal player wouldn't he be in and out of the side, often an emergency and/or frequently the starting sub or subbed off ?

Off the top of my head I can't recall when he was last used as a sub, or taken off and becoming the sub for that matter.

When was the last time he was not in our starting 22 and/or dropped?

Half way through last season?

I'd guess chin has been a best 22 lock for at least the last 22 games we've played.

Laurie could be described as 'marginal'.

Can't see how Chandler could be considered marginal.


What an impressive young man. Really enjoyed the interview.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
