Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

Had a baby, started slowly, but with ball come into fifty a little faster and better, could get back to 50 plus goal kicker!

 

Great to see him coming back into form after a poor start to 2025. (Chris Snott of course would say he had some issues that he would’t divulge)

Hope he gets back to his very best and kicks another 6 in the 2026 GF.


Agree he had a bit of a slow start, but in the latter half of the season, definitely saw some progress and seemed to have his passion back. Definitely a keeper—but I’ve got my biases :)

Felt like he had the riot act read to him midway through the season, as he found some mojo and his half forward efforts were part of a welcome return to form. I was ready for a trade early on but now think keep.

Found a way to improve his form mid-season when others couldn't, showed some genuine grit in the process. A good year on the whole for Fritta.

Fritsch's attitude and performance for 2 years has been appalling. Had a good second half of 2025 but took way too long to get dropped. So many game he had zero impact at half time

The Fritsch we saw in the second half of the year was a very good player and team mate. That's the intensity he needs to bring every week.

went from being the deepest forward to playing a more roaming role in the back half of the year and he looked completely freed up and much more impactful as a result

one of the few players who i have faith in in front of goal


Had an awful second half of 2024 and a lousy first 9 or so rounds of 2025.

However he was back to his best in the second half of 2025 and is a key requirement for next year.

I assume he's not on the trade table.

During the second week of the trade period you may see media reports that Fritta was spotted at Brisbane airport, which naturally means he’s meeting with the Lions, right? He will indeed be in Brisbane but that’s because he and Nat (his partner) will be attending Nat’s best friend’s wedding, and for no other reason.

Love Fritta, I will be very interested to see how King plays him next year, agree with previous posters he had a strong second half as he appeared to overcome his lingering foot injury. We need Bayley back to his absolute best in 2026.

  • 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.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
