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.

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

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.

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?)

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!!

Never posting again would be considered doing a silly thing.

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.

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.

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....

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'!!

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
