I am amazed we did not pick Gumbleton .

With our injury luck he should have been a certain selection

Not to mention the cloud hanging over him as a participant in the Essendon player drug fiesta.

I can't believe we missed out on a bargain basement recruit whose ingestion of Mexican jumping beans made him a perfect fit for the Dees.

I know most people dont like the footy show here and i will probably be jumped on but as i live in canberra and its delayed and i couldnt sleep and i was also way to lazy to change the channel that late at night i saw them talking about chip and i can remeber if it was the old idiot or the stuck up dhead nth melb pres that mentioned that its been thrown areound that Frawley will resign to the club when Roos does. And gaz confirmed it.

Frawley gave an off hand remark a few weeks ago to that affect. It was a joke but a revealing one.

I don't even think Roos has to say 'I am coach' - I think if he comes out and says 'I am at the club in some capacity indefinitely' he would satisfy a great number of people, let alone James Frawley.

I am really interested in this point, i don't believe Roos is a bloke to see a job half done, but i also don't believe he wants the pressure and such of being a senior coach long term, i reckon Jackon and co should work on him maybe becoming a senior assistant like Craig was to Neeld to his successor

Yeah but it may affect (effect? I always get those two confused) what we get back in return.

Maybe. I'd be more inclined to think it may affect the amount Frawley gets offered by other clubs, which in turn means you'd be right, it should affect our compensation.

Then again, it might not.

Depends on how other clubs see his RFA/UFA status.

If they think like H then it's not likely to make a difference to what they offer.

(Effect is the noun, affect the verb)

BigFooty poster says a well informed man on SEN claims Frawley's management are in discussions with MFC about salary options. Sounding positive?

I want to believe, but that is sounding like about as dodgy a source as you can get...

He was having a great time at training today. All the boys were actually. Roosy was a no show though so they mainly just focused on kicking and had a bit of fun kicking at Fitzpatrick in the goal square. I think Westrupp kicked the ball smack bang into his head.

Word on the street is that the Mfc think they have him convinced, would be a massive show of faith to the club if he was to resign before mid season

It would be an even bigger show of faith if he signed after our Round 1 victory. Of course I wouldn't count on that happening.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
