Frawley wants to know...

[Matt Demon 1,482]

Looking forward to Riv playing on young Jesse - assuming all forwards being available.

He played on Jesse last year in the VFL & gave him a bath.

[Machsy 2,858]

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.

[Machsy 2,858]

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.

We do CT, is called cold hard cash.

Who are you people? Do you live in a caravan? Are you annoyed you can't get analogue channels on your shitty old tv anymore?

Yes mate and do you mind turning down your TV as I am trying to sleep!

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.

I know you could do it Moonie

You convinced me.

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.

He's going to get good coin no matter who he signs with.

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.

That how the Germans lost the war Moonie.

There went Quality but lost out to Quantity.

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.

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.

[bluey 1,117]

Yeh, I believe it, and the Easter Bunny, He is going to a new club so he doesn't have to change coaches.

[puntkick 325]

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 !

[puntkick 325]

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

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Its all part of master plan to have Roosy sign on for a few more years.
