I would happily blame Chip for leaving. He has used the line of "I will wait to see the direction of the club" yet has done nothing himself to help move the team forward, instead spending the year t

I reckon the successor is the sticking point, he can see we are improving but wants to make sure they get the next coach right

If we name a successor prior to the end of the season (not sure of the chances of this happening) and Frawley continues to delay talks, that's a sure sign he's gone

I'm not sure we are even seriously looking for one yet

I would be very surprised if we weren't. But the candidates wouldn't have to give a reply until seasons end.

People need to understand where Chip is coming from.

25 years old, coming to the prime of his career, and he simply wants to know what is future is going to be for the next 4-5 years. Fair enough.

He's been through alot of false dawns and you only have so long to get success in football.

Chip loves the dees, and if Roosy put pen to paper for the next 4-5 years, I think he'd sign on the dotted line.

Well that ain't gonna happen so if he is waiting for that - then he better have a rethink.

Best case scenario is that Roos will commit to his 3rd year option before the end of the year and that will prompt Chip to sign.

there is still a big possibility Chip has agreed to terms with another side and it's just a formaility, who knows

i am interested to see if Hogan plays some games in the back end of the year if Chip goes back when he comes in

Not knowing who the next coach is isn't stopping anyone else from re-signing like Dunn,he can see the direction of the club.

Our defence is ranked 8th this year without chip and a top 6-7 mid might be the way to go with Cross and Bernie coming to the end of their careers.

This may be the last chance to get a top 6-7 mid for a long time hopefully,we could have Chip for another 5-6 years or a top mid for 12+ years.

Having said all that,if Chip decided to re-sign with us,i'd be stoked and I don't even surf.

Someone mentioned poor body language from Frawley ?

Let's revisit this after last night.

His unbridled joy after the win and in the singing of the club song was palpable.

I thought he worked really hard last night. There was no better indication of this than the last Kent goal. Watching the replay, Frawley was sprinting his guts out to catch up on the outside of Kent, I suspect to help if the Kent run went pear shaped. ( not sure he could have caught up to provide an option).

He may well be gone but I don't think he is playing football with a "switched off " attitude.

Sure.

I also noticed Watts lead so hard and fast in the last 5 minutes when we were UP. When we were WINNING.

They need to be able to run just as hard when we're losing, or when chasing an opponent also. You're talking about half a quarter of footy where we turned it on and making mention of Frawley's body language. Did you watch the first half?

Again, myself and those I went with last night noticed that Frawley still doesn't get it at times.

I'm over people defending the guy. Like he's some untouchable.

He needs to take a leaf out of Chris Dawes' 'effort and presence' book.

He looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane. We need consistent effort and presence from him at all times, and we're not getting it.

Rubbish. He'll sign one way or the other at the end of the season.

I don't see how that could have happened isn't it against the rules to sign someone while they are contracted elsewhere?

Worked for Scully.......

Back on subject.......I don't know whether Chip will stay or go.

At the start of the season it was a concern should he go. Roos has brilliantly shown the team that we don't need him as our number 1 defender any more. If he goes, he will not be missed. If he stays he can be a real contributor to the future success of the club.

I hope if he chooses to leave, because he " wishes to taste success" he considers the high failure rate of this method. Not everyone gets lucky like Brian Lake.

Nathan Buckley left Brisbane and missed out on 3 flags. Probably would have been 4 if he was in the side as well!

Leigh Colbert to North....Jared Rivers to Geelong....Nick dalSanto to North....Sylvia to Freo ( might work yet if he can get in the side often enough)....Goddard to Essendon.....

I think Chip has given us plenty up forward this season and I was rapt with his obvious joy at getting a win.

I think though it is the height of arrogance to think he would know better than Jackson and Roos who would be a good successor.

Still think his decision was made ages ago and he is rationalising. Maybe he is having second thoughts giving the feeling in the group and the obvious improvement.

Yeah I did watch the first half and everyone was truly horrible,

You are just seeing stuff that I don't see but hey - we all have our opinions.

On Chris Dawes - if everyone took a leaf out of Dawes effort and presence book we would be playing finals this year. ( Nutbeans prayer - dear lord - please give Jeremy Howes hands to Chris Dawes - amen)

Technically yes but managers are bottom feeding scumbags who would have some sort of paperwork signed signalling a players intent to sign for a club based on agreed terms.

    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 sta

    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
