According to Mrs Fritatta the media is doing what the media does best… sensationalising, blowing something up to way bigger than it is. Calling a couple of stitches surgery, okaaaaay.

    If he does miss, which I doubt he does, Melky can come in for him.

    This exactly - not ideal, but not the end of the world - Melksham at times was our most dangerous forward last season

    I've had similar. Hand gets bitten or scratched from an animal. Hand swells up as a reaction. Risk of infection so therefore very minor 'surgery' to clean the wound and potentially drain the build up.

    I wouldnt even call it surgery.

    Assuming its a similar thing of course. If a dog ripped into his hand might be different

    Paddy is an electrician as well. Just finishing his exams. Very much like for like except for the hair!

    It wasn’t as serious as your experience, BAMF. It wasn’t even serious.

    Incidentally, in case anyone is wondering… neither dog was badly hurt. No rushing to the vet was needed as has been the case a couple of times in the past.

    This has happened before!

    Someone out there with a better memory or research skills please sooth my itch.

    I believe it was Petracca.

    Probably that skin glue… it works a treat and he will have plenty of recovery time, almost a full fortnight, given that our opening game is on the Sunday.

    Hopefully he's only out this week would be a massive blow if he wasn't to play. We are running out of players maybe Sharp will replace him.

    It's 2.52 am and I am awake I think but replacing Fritta with Sharp that is definately a nightmare. Give Paddy the spot, in fact almost anyone but Dull.

    The dogs are a couple of schmackos lighter after Michael Christian’s review.

    He suspended Jeremy Howe’s dogs for a similar act all those years ago. Typical.

    Might be come to separate those dogs, seems like they have beef, either that or they thought Frittas hand was beef

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
