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.

Disappointed but its been drawn out longer than a pregnancy. I am glad its all over.

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.

Now Roos gets to go to work...............We need a new team...

Thanks Chip...but i am disappointed that you didn't work harder under the NEW REGIME....and that also goes for Clark.

Posted

I hope he signs on for big bucks wherever he goes. We need pick #3 or this offseason could be problematic.

Livid that we are losing a player coming into peak and a vital part of a serious push to a premiership.

ffs.

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?

Did he ever look at our offer?

Kinda rude.

Thanks for the service, I don't wish you any luck.

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.

I am shocked to be sitting here

Time to stand up then? :blink::blink:

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
