Someone over on bigfooty reckons Chip has signed a 4 year deal with us to be announced soon. Good news if true.

    Personally I'd take this with a grain of salt. Yet if it's true is fantastic news!

    I personally think he will remain in the RED & BLUE for his entire career.

    He knocked back some big $$ from GC (assuming big $$) to stay with the MFC, imo, he and a few others will stay RED & BLUE forever.

    Wouldn't have a clue if this rumour is true or not.

    I don't wish to question it, but I can't help think that something like this would be a good move by the Mfc. GC & GWS are circling and other players of other clubs such as Cooney, Selwood, Cotchin, et al have signed of late. They have been mentioned or reported to be on GC's shopping list - as has Frawley.

    Davey signed a 4 year deal. Perhaps a front ended 4 year deal with Frawley who is breaking out as a star of the AFL at present after 40 odd games is a good move list management wise for the Mfc ?

    Fingers crossed it's true. Frawley will be the dominant defender in the comp over the next decade and I want to see him in red and blue!

    If it's true it is a brilliant move by the club.

    Other gun players re-signing has started a domino effect.

    It might be appealing to go to GC17 for a heap of cash to play with Ablett, Cooney, Cotchin and a stockpile of freakishly talented kids.

    It is not so appealing to be the one player to leave his club for money when so many are choosing not to, effectively becoming the posterboy for greed and having to babysit a team of talented kids on your own.

    Frawley will stay with us.

    Cooney and Cotchin have resigned. Maybe they didn't want to be that player to walk out on his club for a wad of cash.

    I know.

    Just throwing their names out there because they were touted as targets and they are examples of players that would have made it an appealing option.

    Now not so much.

    You could now end up being one of their gun recruits along with Brad Ebert, Kepler Bradley and Ryan Houlihan.

    (not so appealing)

    Speaking of which, when does Judd come out of contract?

    It's true! Get excited people, this clubs is making all the right moves.

    We are forming a group of young guns that all want to stay together and succeed as a group.

    Great news! The momentum continues to build.

    Melbourne football club announce dees sign James Frawley for four years. Which is good news mean GC or GWS can't sign him to their clubs. It's great to see young players commiting to our club. Specially players like frawley.

    That's gonna be hard to top as news of the day.

    Great news. Well done Chip!

    Now for the remaining boys to follow suit.

    Just read the article and wanted to add that I'm madly in love with the MFC. That is all.

    Huge.

    What a champion. Can't wait for more news of signings!

    News of the year!

    With GWS having 2 years at uncontracted players that means everyone whose contract expires prior to and including the end of 2012 is available - that's EVERYONE on our list except Davey and now Frawley.

    It would be a major achievement to not lose a player in this process, but some are more important than others and Chip is in my highest group.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
