Fritsch is the best forward we have had in 50 years. We’ve was the last generational forward of any team dropped? 

On his day maybe.

Right now he's probably on par with Darren Cuthbertson

    It astounds me how little respect fans have for fritsch. Not sure who they want to bring on to replace him

    I'm confident he'll come good again. It's unfortunate that we don't have more options up front because he could be useful for a stint further up the ground to get his mojo back.

    [censored] hell I've heard it all now... 🤣 there's been an outright nuffy and then there's simply being delusional.

    How many forwards have we had achieve what he has?

    That is a grim set of ins, and one really bad out. Our depth is struggling and it's round 2.

    I'm excited that Spargo is fit enough for selection and happy to see Disco back.

    Laurie, Adams, Woewodin are surely just emergencies.

    Edited by Guest

    It will be 

    in: woewodin and turner

    out: Windsor and Johnson 

    you think that woey just takes the role of half back that he played most of last year, I think Spargo is still a few weeks away.

    How the heck did Blake Howes not get the Flick?? Not convinced at all! Chandler and Fritta extremely lucky!

    Spargo and Turner are good ins. Windsor’s foot is a concern. You’d think it’d be ok by now

    Allen Jakovich, Gary Lyon, David Neitz, Russell Robinson, Jeff Farmer and Brad Green spring to mind. 

    Who would you rather have, any on my list or Fritsch?

     

    I would add David Schwarz and Darren Bennett to that list.

    The one problem with fritta he likes things going one way not much chop in the wet but on the other hand he does some great things when he gets his way, he is one who should never pass the 40 metre area playing all day.

    Need the VFL to start for players to really push their cases…at the moment, there’s just not the pressure from the 2nds on the AFL listed players

    Are you serious?

    Did you see any of Lyon, Bennett, Jakovich, Schwarz, Neitz, or Farmer play?

    If Liam Jurrah could have played longer he would have out-rated Fritsch IMO.

    Did you mean the last 5 years, not 50 years—- typo perhaps?

    i'd go...

    IN: spargo, turner
    OUT: windsor, johnson

    I think that's the most likely outcome.

    We missed Spargo last year with his pinpoint passes. I think he'll surprise a few this year.

    The inclusion of Turner does not excite me. He has been poor in preseason games and I’m still unsure if he can make it as a forward.

    Billings looked certain for Round 1 and now can’t even make the extended squad.

    This surprised me too. In the “one’s” all summer, then emergency and now nowhere to be seen. 

    I expect Turner and Woey, as the closest positional replacements for AJ and Windsor. But we could go Spargo or Laurie instead of Disco if we’re going to try a smaller forward line, Fritsch going deeper to be the third tall.

    Agree

    That losing practice match between Casey and Coburg can't have been his best. Surprised that Spargo is a possibility after such a long lay off. His pre-injury form in 2023 wasn't stellar

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
