My dad plays golf with Danny Frawley, well at least at the same club. Danny told him, that James being a country boy is very loyal to the team that gave him a shot, however his dream is deep finals fo

This whole seven coaches in seven years thing really annoys me. 'Technically' true, but does it really represent the true state of affairs? No, it's just an easy way for the media to over-dramatise t

I don't know how you follow the club - but my affection for the club, and certain of its players, isn't altogether logical. Or clinical. And that's why I've stuck with the club for so bloody long.

Sorry it was a typo, play frawley at CHB and let Mcdonald develop deeper.

It did sound excessively silly.

Makes sense.

I don't think there's much difference between them being named FB or CHB - it's all about matchups.

I'd rather chase wins instead.

When? I don't think that's accurate.

At Casey or Simonds Stadium?

At Casey, he was moved onto him after half time and Hoges hardly touched It. Mind you Geelong did give us a touch up. The previous game against Geelong was at Simmons & Hoges was BOG.

I don't blame Chip for waiting. Not one bit. We've been excellent on delivering hype and terrible delivering results for the whole time he has been at the club. I'd sure as hell want to see that we aren't just doing the same thing over again before I committed my next couple of years to this club.

Quite simply it's up to us as a club to give him a reason to re-sign. If we can't do that in the next 4 or 5 months then we deserve to lose him.

Chip will put success before cash, unless we are stupid enough to let him name his price. He's loyal, but not to the point of stupidity. Who'd blame him? Would anyone here put their struggling workplace above their own personal success and goals?

It sums up the MFC at the moment. Show some success on field or die.

We can opine to our biased heart's content and beat our chests as much as we want, but at the end of the day (or season, as the case may be), any player of substance just wants to see success and play with their mates. As PJ said, culture and list management wins premierships. Throw heaps of cash around and you may not necessarily get success. Get wins, develop culture and you have a better chance at a flag.

You can't expect talented players to blindly commit without the club having some runs on the board in terms of wins and management.

So the ball didn't really go forward? I didn't see the game but hardly sounds like he gave him a bath, maybe more like limited supply unless Riv got leather poisoning.

Riv is not a good one on one player particularly against strong forwards but let him float across and he will kill it. Remember the Doggies game a few years back and Malthouse was in the commentary box saying you can't allow Rivers to zone off, he saved the game in the last Q. He doesn't get that luxury very often now and doesn't have another string to the bow.

I was at that game and it's true that Rivers was given the job of minding Hogan after Jesse kicked two early goals. However, it wasn't a case of Rivers giving him a "bath" so much as the fact that the ball hardly came into the forward line after that anyway and when it did, the delivery to the forward line was abysmal. The Cats controlled the midfield, dominated the inside 50s and beat the Scorpions by more than 10 goals.

I think its likely that the tables would be turned this year if Hogan was given reasonable delivery by a half decent midfield.

WJ you could change two words in that sentence and it would be describe the Dees last two years

"opposition " and "dees".

If you don't have the ball it is hard to kick a winning score.

Does this seem like BS to anyone else?

Frawley wants club security

I believe him personally, i think he is in a similar place to Watts mentally, wants to see improvement, know who his coach will be and make us feel abit desperate and add a few extra o's to his contract, until i watched that i thought he was gone, now not so certain.

No BS here.If the coach has only signed on for 2 with an option of 3 and Chip has had 7 coaches in 7 years and played in 31 winning games in 118 then I would play the system too !

Great logic Bluey, so who is Roosey going to coach after us so that Chip doesn't have to change coaches ?

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
