Melbourne should remove the current offer and put a second lesser paying offer on the table with a note that that offer is good for 1 week, after which another offer of a lesser amount will be offered, so that he can take all the time he likes to make his decision.

Frawley delayed the meeting for another month

If true that is his right. He can't negotiate in theory, with clubs before the free agent trade period in October so why would you want any conjecture before that time. That is the official line, who knows he may have confidentially given Roosey the nod but the fact he has delayed until the official negotiating period says he is on his bike. I think Roosey would know where he stands and I think he knew some time ago. Frawley has been playing forward for a reason.

No deecisive the offer should be removed full stop.

Hold on we need to make sure the offer from other clubs is maximised to get the best compo in the draft so I would make him a fair offer based on his real value to our club. If he decides to stay great, if he goes we get the max compo.

Frawley needs to just p155 0ff.

Talk about the tail wagging the dog!

If he aint committed he should rack off.

Lets watch as he emulates the incredible successes of Scully, Moloney, Sylvia etc. ;-)

cant beleive his giving us the run around. All he cares about is himself.

Today was exit interview before Frawley heads off on holidays. He was never going to make decision in this mtg.

I hope Frawley leaves, I prayed Scully left as well.

When players come out and are not absolute in their committment to the club, then I don't want them.
We need men, we do not need insecure, attention seeking little children.

Scully has performed to expectations for mine and Frawley will do the same - if not do less.

I tend to agree with the great Leigh Mathews in that Frawley is on just a footballer.

Roosy has met with all the players. His last meeting was with....Frawley.

But no news.

Any more delistings to come out of it.

Reduce the offer and play hard ala Richmond did to Martin last year

The problem with that is there is a bigger market for Chip than there was for Martin. Once GWS pulled out he had nowhere to go, where as Chip has at least 3 major clubs interested in him.

I'm now at the point where I want Frawley to leave, throughout the year I've gone from wanting him to stay to not caring. I would now be disappointed if he stayed.

To me, Frawley epotomizes all that is and has been wrong with the playing group. His attitude and body language, especially in the last 4-6 weeks was a disgrace. See you later.

The saying 'Loyal Country Boy' is blown so way out of proportion. Im a country boy and loyalty in country is no different to city.

In fact loyalty in country is gone out the door these days dont even know why this term is still even used.

I suggest you tell your loyal, country boy mate known as Chip that.

Everyone else gets it.

Hope so

Roos would be speaking on behalf of 90% of us if he told him some home truths about being honest and not holding the club to ransom

Good.

The performance he has put up this year has been disgraceful. Supposed leader and trying to hold the club to ransom for his weak excuse.

We need Chips pay up the high end of the scale.

We'll get our chance to tell him when we play geelong next year.

I don't blame him for wanting to leave, he's talented and he's never played in a final and realistically may not play in one until he's 30, and lets not mention his chances of winning a flag with us.

By going to a successful club he knows his chances of fulfilling the ultimate dream of a premiership is realistic. So honestly, who can blame him.

What I do blame him for, is his pathetic leadership, stringing the club along and acting like a complete damn princess.

Don't be a total f'wit to the club that has paid you handsomly and given you ample opportunities over the year. We may not be successful, but we have never done anything but be kind and supportive of your career. 3 coaches have all backed you, as have the supporters and the administration.

To now behave like a child who just can't make up his mind, all the while not putting in any effort on the field and holding us to ransom, is just not on.

Ummm

Firstly - of course he only cares about himself

Secondly - Why do you think it is the run around - this was never going to be settled until ALL clubs have finished the season.

Does anyone believe this only about seeing the direction of our club ? It may have been this in part but it is as much or more about securing his own future and this can't be done until the season is done and dusted - and that is after the GF.

    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

    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
