Bayley Fritsch
The crown jewel in Melbourne’s forward line, it’s amazing to think that once upon a time he was stationed in defence. Has led the Demons’ goalkicking the past five seasons and is one of the most accurate shots for goal in the League, with a sizzling 63 per cent career strike rate. Probably still plays too much of a lone hand. Needs a big year from the likes of Jacob van Rooyen to ease the burden.
Honours
All-Australian Squad (2021, 2022), Leading Goalkicker (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024), Melbourne Premiership (2021).
