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

And where to do have him in relation to other Melbourne forwards since the 80’s? Scoring alone has him top 3

I’ll go on stats… he averages more goals than all those players.

.

Hahahah… this is hilarious. Fritsch was Melbourne leading goal kicker last year. Played 23 games and was the top 20 forward in the league in both total goals and average. All this whilst playing in a bottom 5 side. please tell me how he ‘isn’t delivering’

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

May at FF isn’t a terrible idea

What??? Whenever it was dry we capitalised.. as soon as it rained we capitulated.

GWS missing hogan, stringer and briggs. we didn’t have may, kozzie and Mcvee. GWS also had a run last which definitely helped them today

Seems that we tired in the last. The game that GWS played last week helped them

Not too sure what you expected with rain most of the match

My concern is what the players feel coming out to empty stands. We need every edge that we can get and yet this happens.

The players are running out to 5,000 fans.. pathetic turn out

Start of the season, first game after 6 months and the players run out to empty stands… we are a pathetic fan base.

It seems teams that played opening round have a massive advantage over those the didn’t play. To have had run and to clear away the cobwebs makes such a difference. Not only is opening round plain stupid it also skews the ‘fairness’ of an already compromised draw. Infuriating

We are nothing like the tigers… we are still playing 14 premiership players. We are almost even odds to win the match not rank outsiders

@binman mentioned on the podcast that we have trained this new method last off season and changed back to the more conservative style mid season. It might not be as big of a change as suggested

Why?

Not sure what his management is left to do considering he has a contract in place for another 5 years. He is probably looking for alternative revenue streams

GWS are going to be very good this year. Easily top 4. They didn’t have hogan, green and they lost ruckman Briggs in the first 10 mins. Finn plays like Judd and they have Genuine A graders. However Briggs out makes a massive difference. Gawn should have a field day. Our midfield needs to take this advantage. The MCG is a big ground and an inexperienced ruckman can get lost. A win over GWS and we are real contenders.

Huge out… they’ll be playing with a second string ruckman. also shows how weak Collingwood were. They played with a team without a ruckman and still lost for 50

Didn’t the GWS ruckman Briggs get injured in the first qtr.. only managed 1 possession. Last year he had the better of Gawn. Huge out of that’s the case. does anyone know the update?

Green, ricardi, hogan and stringer webbing losses and yer everyone is writing us off

Everything that we do looks like hard work…

Any update on jvr?
