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?

Didn't he sign a 6 year? That would make it 2013. Or was it 5?

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.

Enjoy your grain of salt BLWNBA!

I love Chippa even more now!!!

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!

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

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.

Awesome news

Better news than JW's inclusion....this is AWESOME!!

Chip is a star!

Fantastic news. Let's get about another 15 signed up now. And Jesus get Scully signed up.
