AFL:Fritsch fires back to form for Demons ahead of Bombers

Essendon would do well to scout Bayley Fritsch's stunning goal against Collingwood and pay him extra-close attention whenever he is near that part of the MCG.

One of the Demons' most dangerous forwards will come into the AFL match this Saturday with renewed confidence after kicking three goals in their King's Birthday win over the Magpies.

Fritsch had kicked no goals in four of his previous five games.

His second goal on Monday, early in the frenetic last quarter, was a highlight - Fritsch gained possession on the run, than snapped over his shoulder to bring Melbourne to within three points.

That spot, in the outer forward pocket at the Ponsford end, is a happy hunting ground for him.

"I've probably kicked three or four goals from that exact spot against Collingwood. I don't know what it is," Fritsch told AAP.
