All the best Chip. I'm not disappointed he's gone but he still gave us good service, regardless of how blinded we became to that once we accepted he would leave.

Although I must say I'm looking forward to Hogan tearing him a new one next year at the G. I'll look forward to that one!

I liked the bloke and am sad he is gone, but not surprised. If we had of had a half decent team the past couple of years he would've been an absolute champion of the game.

Players are temporary, the club is forever (unless it keeps playing crap and folds...)

Frawley was a gun and I am sad to see him go. A genuine defender who could break a line, play on the huge forwards, and monster opposition forward lines. My son's favourite player. Thanks Chip for every effort you put in for the Dees, and for giving one of my sons a favourite player to look up to in a era of losses, no excitement and few thrills.

However, I am neither surprised nor disappointed. Neeld killed his natural flair, and Frawley leaving sits right on Neeld's lap. He has not played any of those great backman games for almost 2 years, and needs fresh air.

Pick 3 here we come.

For the love of god, get him off the banner. I can deal with this more than Clark, but still - we developed him into an AA key position player and now he goes and jumps ship presumably to Hawthorn. Good riddance.

For some strange reason we anticipated this might happen.

It's Andy's birthday today and he's out celebrating (hopefully the fact we get # 3 compo on top of the occasion) but I'm sure that the minute he gets the opportunity, Chip will get the chop from our banner.

Jack, when he gets a chance can he just replace him with a number 3 until further notice?

Done. I had it loaded and ready to go.

Glad he played such a large percent of his year away from the back line. I get his decision, but I have a hard time not thinking he is a [censored]...

No surprise there! Now it all comes down to our compo. With every man and his dog trying to talk down what we should get it's now up to the AFL to grow some cojones and give us what we deserve out of this train wreck!

But that was all part of the club preparing for life without Frawley. Did we need him in the backline this year, not really.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
