I want to kick Swann in the nuts! What a jerk.

Swann would not be doing his job if he did not question the Frawley compensation.

We are not doing our job unless we question the draft perks of other clubs and the fixture.

I disagree...Only Mouse and Swine have opined. For what.

Swanns the new boy in town trying to make a name for himself and Malthouse is becoming increasingly irrelevant by the day.

The many said nothing and these nongs pipe up. Mahoney was nicely dismissive of both.

correct - I am not sure why all the angst. If StKilda asked for a compensation pick would we as a club be sitting here quietly ?

There is a formula in place for free agents but it is not set in stone and there is the facility to "adjust". I believe the Franklin compensation was incorrect but if there were rumblings that the AFL in their wisdom agreed that the formula was wrong in the Franklin case and were going to give Hawthorn the number one pick I would expect our club to jump up and down.

When subjective decisions are to be made, and if the decision may have a negative impact on our club I would expect our people to make some noise like Swann is doing.

( in return - we should also be making noise supporting our case)

Roos has not been quiet on free agency and all manner things relating to our club.

We have been lambs in past and it is time we were lions.

Is it weird I'd be dissapointed if he decides to stay?

No. The hope of someone new will trump the disappointment of a known quantity.

Which we did preemptively by appealing for special assistance without expecting to get it. Our appeal was a bargaining ploy.


Officially gone. Just on MFC twitter.

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.

Lucky the Doggies and now us have had our star players equalised.

So the reigning premiers have the best fullbacks in the comp to take on Swans again .

This will prove be one of the best things to have happened to MFC in the not too distant future.

Of that, I'm sure.

Frawley needed to leave for both personal growth and for the growth of the club.

Ok, time to clear him from the mast head. Goodbye and good luck.

I'm neither surprised or disappointed (probably very few of us are!) ..... and we can now at least have our compo formally determined, and get on with recruiting a player who wants to be a Dee!


No surprise in the end.

Sad to lose another quality key player, but his heart was never in it towards the end.

He cost us the Bulldogs game (and Goal of the year nomination against) by failing to lay a decent tackle on a 19 year old. One of the worst errors of the year. Bye chip

Now time for the AFL to stand up and give the MFC what we deserve for losing a very important key position player. This will be a big decision in the context of the equalisation in the AFL. Pick 3 is a MUST

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
