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

But that was all part of the club preparing for life without Frawley. Did we need him in the backline this year, not really.

His time in the back line coincided with Dunn's form dropping off.

See ya in knee reco rehab traitor.

Felt gutted at the start of the year at the prospect of him leaving.

As the year's gone on though the realisation came to me and most others that he was off.

Not angry at him personally - he's made his decision and we will draft/trade a player who wants to play for the red and blue.

In this day in age my respect for players who sign-on and want to help rebuild the club grows and grows.

Chip is not one of these... them the wraps! Let's move on!

And he has now disappeared from the banner forever.

Now the REAL discussion begins... who replaces him?

But one who has stayed and reaped the benefits is Boak from Port.

Imagine what he will feel like when they win the premiership.

He could have easily taken the easy way out but dug in and helped get the club to where it is now.

Some players have it others take the easier road.

Let's hope a whole new world of panic, dropping off and self interest travels down the highway.

It worked in the city.

Has anyone in the media taken a step back from all this FA, trade frenzy and commented on the injustice of the current system that creates the outrageous situation whereby the two most successful clubs of the last decade are picking over the carcass of the least successful club, squabbling over taking a mature power forward and a fullback in his prime for f-all cost to them.

I could handle this if the AFL had any commitment to equalisation in the long run for all clubs. I am not factoring in tier1 compo at all for Chip until I see it happen.

This place is going to erupt if we don't get pick 3.

There was buzz around the Howe-Frawley switch early in the season but aside from taking plenty of marks Frawley didn't make much scoreboard impact (finished 15.16). His marking was great though and is probably the biggest thing we'll miss about him. He finished the season tied equal second in marks per game at 7.4 per contest. On the other hand, his disposal efficiency left a lot to be desired: Among players with 150+ disposals he ranked 225th at just 71.9%. A fair way behind Jetta (87.9%, tied for 1st in the league), Howe (80.6%, 45th), Dunn (79.6%) and Garland (78.8%).

I promise it will make you feel better about losing him if you watch him concede Goal of the Year to Bontempelli in the final minutes of a winnable match. He's got no motor - that's always been the most frustrating thing about watching him. Far too much trotting and plodding.

We better get pick 3.

He lost a few brownie points yesterday with his FB post...needs to earn them back before he gets on the banner

Are you saying that after all the brownie points he earned over the past 6 months, he spent them all on a silly post on Facebook?

I am still disappointed. For all his apparent lack of endeavour this year he is one of the few draftees the Dees have managed to successfully develop into a genuine key position player.

Frawley's quick development is probably more to do with the performance of our team, rather than our player development... Practice makes perfect I suppose...

We've known for a while that he was leaving and I'm expecting this type of poaching to continue and probably get worst... Who knows who's next... Has Jones signed yet?

yup,, there are respected players like Nathan Jones and Travis Boak who are real men with heart and leadership who will do what it takes to help a club get back to where it wants to be

then there are soft [censored] like James Frawley and Jared Rivers who prefer to ride the coattails of others

So what happens if Nathan Jones leaves next year via free agency?

If we don't show much improvement next year Jones will leave next year. simple.

Oh my god what a shock! Now can we find out who he's going so we can get this over and done with.

FWIW he has actually been a good servant for us, he's had one stella year and a couple of decent years mixed in with his development years. He's put up with a lot of crap times and more coaches than any player should have to put up with his entire career, I don't blame him for going and I thank his prospective clubs for pushing his value into top tier.

I wish him well, but hope we smash whoever he'll be playing for (not bloody likely).

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
