What the [censored] has happend to this bloke!?

He has been pansted all year, his decision making is atrocious, when gets beaten on the lead he looks around and yells at everyone else which is sometimes fair enough but at the same time sometimes his desperation to hit the contest hard or put a full on body contact on his opponent is just not there.

Massive fan of his but lately he has been really frustrating to watch!

What a way to celebrate 100 games. Pathetic.

agreed. i'm also a fan, but he was embarrassing today, and on most occasions it had nothing to do with the midfield pressure. he got owned.

He is meek and mild....the animal we once knew is long gone.

He was comprehensively dismantled today. In 2010, I knew that whoever he went and stood beside was going to struggle to kick 1 or 2, perhaps Buddy excepted. While he has been far from terrible, he doesn't look the same player this year. He was a physical beast in 2010.

Worst game Ive ever seen him play ....and Im big fan. Maybe Walker is THAT good? or Frawleys injured? If neither then he's seriously got some work to do. Ive never seen him make a fool of himself before...he's usually the only one that doesnt. sigh.

I reckon he has yet to buy into what Neeld wants and probably one of the players Green was appealing to in his retirement press meeting...Love Frawley but he often players like he isn't interested.

Walked kicked his first few goals on Dunn.

Frawley hasn't been great this year, but with the amount of ball coming into our defensive 50, he could've been A LOT worse.

That is the first time Frawley has been beaten all year. Agree though his run and disposal has not been his usual output. He has looked hampered for most of the second half of the year. Cant jump or accelerate so keen to see whether he has any post season op.

Walker is that good, but Frawleys lost size and tries to do too much.

Just be a backman, thats your role, put on some more size and just concerntrate on doing your job.

He was done today, but our inept midfield deserves 90% of the blame - no pressure, no accountability.

Walker kicks goals on the best in the league.

Had a shocker but had little support and was caught out one on one against bigger opponents.

They were well drilled and set up incredibly effectively.

Chip will just have to put this down as one of those days.

Ironically, before the game Tony Shaw said Frawley had had a "shocker this year" with which I vehemently disagreed. Then this evening Frawley played the worst game of his career, an absolute shocker.

rubbish, he has been down all year. take off the rose coloured glasses

Before the game they showed some highlights of his career, and i was shocked at how his game has changed from some one who backs him self 100 % , to some one with no confidence who second guesses all the time.

the great glass ceiling of the MFC, nobody shall get beyond B+ level no matter what

last year's frontline: Sylvia, Jamar, Davey, Moloney, Frawley.. what did they contribute in '12 as a group?

we truly are the skidmarks on the jocks of this competition

Most of the year he's been serviceable and late in the year he's been just reasonable which I expect is due to injury. Today was probably a culmination of that. It's not an excuse but it was certainly a bad performance. I have faith he'll bounce back. Certainly I'd like to see Rivers down back again soon to give the backline some more leadership and a calming influence.

I've been saying it all season but could we just give Tom McDonald a go at CHF and put Rivers down back for a game late in the season now. What is the worst that can happen!

Who has beaten him this year? No rose coloured glasses just looking for some facts instead of the usual rubbish people sprout.

We are the worst of the real teams.

First of all, Walker is a star.

Second, their mids had no pressure on them when delivering inside 50.

He was bad, sure, but there's more to it than simply him falling from his lofty standards. It's not all doom and gloom with Chip. We have much bigger problems.

needs to pull his head in

needs to do the basics better, needs to improve his decision making and disposal

Chip has been playing injured for a while.

As has Trenners by the way.

Many of melbournes great stars of the 50s played injured often.

I have always been a big fan of his, but this year he has looked hesitant and whenever he's backed himself he's pretty much stuffed up. I think he's really low on confidence. The only opponent he's well beaten is Jack Reiwoldt

Very very disappointing game from him.

He does look hampered by some sort of leg or lower back injury?

Either way, he was smashed today, which happens even to the best defenders once in a while (and especially when the opposition midfield continues to win uncontested clearances!!!!), but his body language was pathetic.

He is now a senior player, and a leader, and he needs to stop sooking when things are going against him.

Just as a side note, Mark Neeld needs to re-evaluate this "rob the backline to bolster the forwardline" crap. It's doing more harm than good.
