You are spot on BB, it would have given us a chance to re load and control possession as a centre bounce after a goal is by no means a definate win for us at this stage. I know it is all good and well in hindsight (I would be the richest man on earth if I did possess that), but in that circumstance a rushed behind would have been a better result than the goal.

There was 3:25 to go....

Those quarters went on forever.

We should have conceeded the behind and given ourselves the chance to go again.

We lost because we played awful football for 40 minutes, but if you watch that last quarter again, especially the last few minutes, we were seriously robbed of a couple of holding the ball decisions that could have made a world of difference.

Then again, Jack Watts kicks that goal as he should, and maybe it's game over.

Gees we are a frustrating team.

I am happy to go on the record and say that if someone is willing to pay Chip 700 large plus, I hope it isn't us.

I hope some of you watched Footy Classified last night.. Garry Lyon finally came out and gave Frawley a proper "serve". What he said was absolutely spot on... As I said in my posts on this topic..See my Posts numbers 300 ... 307 and 310.... The guy is so over rated... (my opinion)

Yes I watched it and was so disappointed in Garry Lyon because his view was, why would someone pay top dollar for a bloke that has both poor disposal and makes poor decisions.

Described Frawley as a good reader of the play that is able to very often beat an opponent, however, doesn't provide much else.

As I said recently, when was the last time Frawley was in the best 3 on the ground?

Saw Roos on the TV tonight firmly putting the pressure on him, said it is time to say if he is staying or not.

saw it too..Funny he actually made a point of not making the point, but that it should happen soon.

Was interesting. Very Roos !!! lol

And fair enough too

Frawley would have 100% made his mind up by now

If hes decided to leave and isn't telling the club then hes a pansy

IMO he cant say cause he has already agreed to go to either Hawks or GC.

We should have got this answer out if him last trade period and got rid of him but hey that's FA.

As I see it bb there are only two

- they continue to play him as though nothing has happened but unless nthere are injuries it will be in the forward line. why take hiom out at either end of the ground there is no one who can give a better result. as well we need every win going why decrease the chances?

- drop him to casey, don,t think it would happen as it is dead set give away he is leaving.

and then around round 19/20 Jesse Hogan steps onto the stage...FWD line

Might get interesting but suspect OD will still be right and we'll load up the front end

I don't expect Roos would be particularly impressed with Frawley from a club leadership perspective.

Nate Jones, and virtually all other really effective senior leaders from other clubs who are determined to be one club players, would not be approaching this negotiation in the way Frawley has IMO.

To my mind, it has appeared opportunistic. And it is causing some harm to the club IMO - if only because it is disrupting the 'we've turned the corner' narrative and it is slightly destabilising the momentum that's occurred under Roos.

And before anyone cites Boak, Pavlich or Cloke, the list of senior players who would willingly sign up to their respective clubs well before the season end is much, much longer - other than, obviously, if they are actually intending to leave.

This is perhaps the very reason as to why Frawley is likely to be so sought after. Most other good senior players put ink to paper a long time ago - and the list of decent UFAs is now pretty skinny.

If Brett Kirk's Paul Roos' benchmark for club leadership, I'd say he's pretty underwhelmed by what he's observing with our Chip Frawley.

Easy tiger....

I'm split on the call.

I was just posting some trivia.

Tiger ?? I am definitely not split on the call.....I was frustrated watching him on Sunday...Slow thinker, slow mover .. Especially at the point the Bulldogs kicked the winning goal !! That kind of player will never take us into the finals... I say again...We do not need him.. !! (unless he is in the bottom five salary earners at the club)... Just saying...

Gary Lyon tore him to shreds and now roosy, I wonder what's bought this on

His lack of importance to the club.. FFS Why are people thinking we need him so badly.???.. He will NEVER be a match winner (in my opinion)... We need players that at least APPEAR to have the MFC at heart..Frawley is not one of them..!!

I will mention Boak and Cloke.

Criticise his onfield leadership, he deserves it. Criticise his inconsistency.

But I for one do not think that a player taking full advantage of his earned FA is failed leadership.

This is a very public contract discussion and comparisons to other leaders are fraught. I have heard that Nathan Jones was very close to being a Bomber a couple years ago. Does that make him less of a leader of that group? Or even our club?

I don't think it does, he is leading professional football players, and he has been faultless as the face of this footy club in the last few years.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
