Now just plonk jetta in that empty space and we're good to go

 

Free agency = the guy crouching behind the legs of smaller clubs while the bigger clubs give them a shove...

Gobsmacked. ..devastated. .Surp...

Hang on...am in wrong thread :rolleyes:

 

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!

 

Happy to take the Pick 3 compo, come on down Danger!

Wow. Didn't see that coming.

Blindsided.

Will happily boo you forever Chippie.

Really?


And he has now disappeared from the banner forever.

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

Dangerfield

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!

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.


Dunn has to go on the banner

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

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.

what did he say?
 

what did he say?

See post #4276 on the Mitch Clark thread quoting a Dunn post from FB. Dunn's FB post was deleted today.

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).

  • 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

    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.
