Norm Smith's Curse 2,602 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Dont be fooled - Roos is playing - calling his bluff. He knows he wont stay given its now rebuild 3.0. Fattenning the calf although his attitude may have hampered. one if many players waiting for someone else to improve us. Will be one of a few that leave as Roos will nit hesitate to make any trade for sentimentality.

Deeoldfart 8,205 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 12th in disposals 1st in marks (by about 30 from the next closest!) 13th in tackles 3rd in goal kicking ....... yeah, but I suspect if we had rankings for work ethic, leadership, team focus and integrity, they would paint a more accurate picture of his true worth to the team over the same period.
daisycutter 30,027 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Plenty of them at Wednesday tennis. touche biffo i've sent roosey an email with names of some good inside mids would have to be an improvement
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Christian Petracca will look good in number 8 in 2015
beelzebub 23,392 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Tbh I used to like that noobies got a high jumper number then graduated to a lower one as a reward.
deeflog 679 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Can they just announce it and get on with it.can't be done until the cats season is over, could be another month of this yet
nutbean 8,838 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Do I think he is gone ? Absolutely. Do I think he is leader ? No. After his second half of the year I have swung from being ambivalent to happy to pick up a band one pick. However the disrespectful name calling of a bloke who has served our club for 8 seasons (good and bad years and good and bad service from Frawley ) is a disgrace. He is will opt to take his free agency out clause and so be it. Thank you for some good footy and I think you could have shown more ticker this year (and the last couple). Next year, he is a just another player. ( for those knocking Rivers - I like a player who will stick with us through good and bad but his decision to leave to play finals - was it the wrong decision for him?)
picket fence 18,232 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Remember Lou Richard's making outlandish statements then saying if wrong he would do silly things as a result of getting wrong! I am extremely tempted to say that my info is so spot on that If wrong do something similar. I'll say it again he's going to GEELONG!!

Grimes is Great 183 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Just for the record Frawley arranged the players end of season trip for this yr, they leave Friday, the morning after the B&F...
dazzledavey36 56,442 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Mentioned this before but last year I mentioned I played with Frawleys mate who was traveling up every weekend. He was already talking to Gold Coast and Hawthorn back then. Was always going to go as early asnlast year.

Guest Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I don't blame Chip in the slightest for wanting to leave. The club's culture may have turned ever so slightly this year (we don't hear constant rumors of players needing to buy in and it sounds like Roosy has a good relationship with the players) but how many more years does Chip wait until we are a finals team? Some will say that a true leader would try to change the culture but I am not sure that is who Chip is. Look at Riv at Geelong. Sure he is a valued defender but he isn't getting into the leadership group anytime soon. Some blokes aren't natural leaders and are merely handy players. Sadly for us, leadership is/was so thin on the ground for us, that handy players immediately qualify as leaders. With us, Riv was considered a natural for the leadership group.I agree with what was said earlier as well. We are kidding ourselves if we think Jonesy will hang around for another 3 years of grade A poo. I am sure he will bust a gut next year (which sadly Chip hasn't done this year) but if we win 4 games again, then he is a nong if he doesn't start looking elsewhere.
What 18,810 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 salivating at what Roosy and co. will do with pick 3 We are getting great compo for Frawley, am glad hes going
whatwhat say what 23,892 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 It ain't certain we will get pick 3, so hold your horses.
rjay 25,434 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Just for the record Frawley arranged the players end of season trip for this yr, they leave Friday, the morning after the B&F... ...and Chris Dawes speaks well but I really wish they would put it out there on the ground....
P-man 13,367 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 It ain't certain we will get pick 3, so hold your horses. HH only deals in absolute certainties.
Theo 277 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 No certainty that he will go. Reports on radio this morning indicated that potential suitors are becoming nervous because of his poor form. Maybe not worth the price tag originally offered. MFC has an offer on the table.

Lucifers Hero 40,755 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 No certainty that he will go. Reports on radio this morning indicated that potential suitors are becoming nervous because of his poor form. Maybe not worth the price tag originally offered. MFC has an offer on the table. If this is the case he has only himself to blame for not making a decent effort on a regular basis. Right from the 3rd min mark of the WC game (rd 3/4 maybe) when he chased at a jog his true colours showed. Can play but shows poor attitude. Maybe they think he will be difficult to 're-program'!!
