if he leaves and we only get a 2nd rounder it would be a real blow

 

He is going to get at least 500k a year, I can't see us getting less than band 1

Chip would be aware the longer he drags it ut the more he'l damage the MFC brand with articles like this where opposition clubs and players talk about them deciding on poaching Frawley like the MFC don't matter and that taking our players is like taking candy from a baby. That Frawley is allowing this is lowering him in my eyes. He may be a country boy but he'd well understand that him leaving will humiliate the MFC and us fans.

I was optimistic, then sitting on the fence, now I figure he's gone...

 

Hope he stays but if he does leave i hope it's for Geelong, because he definitely won't be getting a flag in his AFL career then.

 

I actually would like Chip to stay - i think that would send a good message for the club

But we know what we're going to get from Chip - Solid 1v1 player but sub standard skills and decision

I have no doubt he'll be a soild contributor - but if we can get a high first round pick and snag another quality mid I wouldn't be super upset in losing him......

PS i readily admit he'll be a good player in a good team - problem is we're not a good team yet...

What the hell has happened to our defense in the last month? We were keeping teams to low scores not long ago, now they're just giving away goals like a sieve.


i'd say they're focusing a bit more on ball movement forward which sacrifices defence

ITs all a work in progress atm

He has only given us bare minimum this season and while I would like him to stay, he could walk at the moment and we would be no worse off.

He makes poor decisions and is playing with no urgency.

After his pathetic effort today I'll be glad to see the back of him.

Football smarts non existant.

Yes, the question now is not if he will stay but if we want him to.

He had a shocker and to rub salt into the wound his 19 year old, first year player kicks the winning goal on him


Bloke has to be one of the dumbest footballers running around on an AFL list.

If he goes...then bring on a first round pick. If he wants to stay offer no more than 400k a year for his services and pray he gains some football smarts over summer.

Please leave Frawley and take your half arsed efforts with you.

Glad people are starting to realise that his 'effort' or lack thereof is absolutely pathetic for a guy who is apart of our leadership group.

LEADERSHIP GROUP. Players who are meant to be leading our club towards a positive and successful place.

That effort with the ball against the first year player in Bontempelli who I'm sure weighs at least 10-15kg less but still manages to win the ball, beat a couple of defenders and kick an amazing goal is astonishing.

How anyone still continues to believe that Frawley is worthwhile keeping when we have the opportunity to grab another first rounder or potential trade bait for another player who wants to fight for our club is out of their minds.

The issue is not about contract talks. The issue is his effort. And it's [censored] pathetic for someone of his age and experience.


Well who could blame him, they are a class organization with brilliant player development and he will play finals every season for the rest of his career

The players, staff and die hard supporters that actually give a [censored] about the club and the effort of each individual on gameday.

Wake up.

Yep definitely no footy smarts. But it was his first game down back for 10 weeks so there's probably an adjusting period.

His man for the first 3 quarters had 1 handball. That's it. No marks, nothing else.

Unfortunately Frawley did so well on him that he then ended up being subbed off and Frawley then played on a smart kid who took advantage of his smarts.

I'm happy to keep Frawley. I know that bucks the trend. But I've already said my piece on Tom McDonald. And if Frawley is willing to stay for a reasonable price that reflects his quality defending and run but very poor skills and smarts then that will benefit the team.

Pretty much if the price is right we keep a player who hopefully lifts once he's locked in to contract and has to perform for it. If the price isn't right we go forward with Tom McDonald.

I know Frawley stuffed up that piece of play on the goal line and it was hugely important but I can't help but feel sorry for all our defenders when the rubbish umpiring free against Bail probably made them all very nervous near the goal line.

 

Say hi to Rivers for me Chip.

My thoughts exactly

Chips over all playing is currently a liability to us. Hes not alone I grant

  • 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.
