Thought he beat Brown. Pretty harsh. The midfield was hopeless again. Neeld and his team (ie Royal) have yet to improve our set ups from stoppages. The players don't work hard enough and our defenders are exposed on the fast break or have nobody to kick it to once they've won the ball back.

there are so many flogs on this page, from this match i have seen countless stupid threads, and this is another.

although i agree frawley looks disinterested at times, he was solid today, three goals to j-brown, and frawley was actually a decent option on the rebound and ran well. the problem in our backline today was tom mcdonald.

Frawley is a number 1 full back, and when our midfield is able to limit the easy ball that the opposition midfield gets will look even better, joel macdonald should not play as the number one defender ahead of frawley, stupid

Frawley is by far and away the best Full Back we have had at this club at least since Danny Hughes. I cannot believe some people would even consider being happy to see him go.

absolute morons on here questioning his attitude and all manner of stuff based on warped perceptions, doing a decent job playing in defence for a poor team I reckon

Understatement of the year! There isn't much he can do considering the amount of times the ball is entering the opposition forward 50.

He's amongst the few genuine proven KPP we have. We must keep him and a key part of that is to build some midfield structure before he decides to bail and go play finals footy somewhere else

With all due respect, he's better than Danny Hughes.

There are plenty of posts about the lack of bulk in our more recent draftees such as Gysberts, Morton and Watts. But Frawley is also undersized for the job he's given. I am now convinced that the Bailey years have set us back enormously because so many of our players are still physically under-developed and still unfit.

And Frawley played pretty well yesterday.

This thread is ridiculous - clearly the vast majority of people are backing Frawley, as they should. The op is a good old fashioned trolling

Its the midfield.

Are you firetrucking kidding me?! What is this place? A year 7 girls' school gym class where every one says what is 'cool', just so they can fit in?

I had never seen the 'land as united as we were after those three blowouts and with good reason. The standard of football served up was revolting and the effort was naught. I was one of those angry at what was going on and I still have my doubts about Neeld as a coach. I think he is now trying to be a little more conciliatory and trying to develop what he has rather than tear it down if it doesn't immediately come up to scratch but I wonder if it's all too late. (For that I will have some nimrod on here telling me I'm not 'backing the club', of that I'm sure.)

Chip is on a hiding to nothing at the moment. He CLEARLY is very talented. You just don't go from All Australian to 'spud' in the space of three years unless you are injured, out of confidence or, in his case, trying to push back an offensive avalanche. Like a lot of the blokes at the moment, he has lost self belief. I attribute some of that to MN as the attitude taken by the new regime seems to be one of reinforcing constantly how terrible we really are. Part of it has been bought on by just constantly losing. If we lost Chip at the end of the year, the usually 'potatoes' (as in couch potatoes, the ones who haven't played competitive sport whatsoever but come onto the 'Land to enlighten us with their wisdom, a very different kind of spud) would be going on with their usual 'good riddance' BS and then wonder why we can't hold power forwards the very next year.

63 I50's against, playing on their main spearhead (and a star forward, let's not sidestep that), and manages to keep him to three goals?

Yeah, clearly not doing his job.

I'm not entirely sure what you all want from him. Not much more he could do, short of punching some heads of our midfielders every time they screw up and allow yet another easy inside 50 for the opposition.

It's very hard to gauge a player's performance when watching on TV as often you see the outcome but not the process that led to it.

So did Chip play well or not? Not sure, on the face of it holding Brown to 3 goals is not a bad effort.

As for calls to chop Chip...given our stocks and what's possibly available for other clubs I don't see that as a win for us.

What would be great to see (sooner rather then later) is Chip starting to enjoy his footy again.

Actually, I forgot the first goal Brown kicked. If that one wasn't Jamar's fault for going to ground, then I'm not here.

Anyone notice his efforts manning the mark yesterday? Didnt put his hands in the air, didnt jump, just stood there and watched it sail over his head. Surely, from a member of the leadership group, that is not acceptable.

I like the kid, at his best he is a gun backman, and is very important to the side, but he seems dissinterested at the moment.

I think letting him leave would be a big mistake, but somehow we need to get his head back in the game.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
