James was, I thought, really poor today.

Don't mean to sound reactionary, but if he goes, I'm sure we can parlay the compensation pick into another mid fielder. Preferably one who can compete, hold their feet and hit targets.

Clearly our best today. He didn't look like being beaten one-on-one either. He also offered great drive off half back and his kicking was excellent, especially his long kicking. The way he was revving the boys up at the start, tells me he's staying.

 

Frawley is a good defender, as he shown today.

He can defend. But he cannot do much else.

Average footballer, below average decision maker.

Rubbish. He provided fantastic run off half back. Roos and the FD clearly gave him a licence to run today and it paid off. We looked so much better for it early on. It was the last line of defence that looked shaky today. We really made some poor decisions back there. It didn't help that Bail was pinged for deliberate, taking the ball over the goal line, whilst being tackled. It made our defenders second guess themselves for the rest of the afternoon.

Im gonna actually stick up for Frawley now. It was his fault in the Bontempelli goa. He had 4 Melbourne guys behind him watching him get the ball. There was ABSOLUTELY NO talk to him to say his hot. No one even pushed over to try and sheppard him.

Rohan bail needs a foot up the ass out of all that. Got brushed aside by a skinny 18 year old in an attempt to tackle!


Where's the 'report' button gone? You guys are pathetic.

Fine...the post had been edited so as not to offend people like yourself.

It was harsh and crude...but thats how I was feeling immediately after todays game.

Now feel free to edit the quote in your post if you so wish..

People having a go at Frawley's game today obviously have bias given his contract status.

Absolutely smashed his opponent and provided run. Made some poor decisions but the whole team's mindset was poor. Garland was much worse.

Some comments on him have been pathetic. Likely from the same people who talk up loyalty. Spare me.

Definitely in the best today, showed why many clubs are currently chasing his services. (Surely the simple fact the multiple clubs are rumoured to be lining up to get his signature indicates that he must have ability - one of the few who pick themselves in a top 8 team!

 

Lucas gave him 3 votes today as clearly best player on the ground.

I thought Boyd killed us, particularly in the first half, but Frawley was certainly our best and deservedly in the top 2 players on the ground.


Frawley was very good today.

Anyone who says they want him gone are simply doing so to lessen their disappointment if he leaves.

I dont thin thats as cut and dried as you suggest. He for all his good work today committed some horrendous clunkers of decisions. He ought to be way above those. So where's his head ? I ahve to ask

Well I can tell you right now that I won't be one bit disappointed if Frawley leaves.

You and a few others keep saying that, which is clearly ridiculous as we'll be receiving high band compensation if he leaves.

That's the reason myself and others don't care, it's got nothing to do with 'prepping myself for disappointment'.

Gee so many varied opinions, I also thought he was poor today , When the game was there to be won his direct opponent kicked two telling goals on him. I reckon he had three kicked on him today. Made some shocking decision errors. I really am not fussed if he stays or goes to be honest. I think we win regardless!

Some comments on him have been pathetic.

I'm in the stay, go, whatever camp with Chip, but I don't see why people want to border on the obscene when it comes to trashing him.

There was a comment a page or so ago about him being a cum bucket. If I was a mod here that would be the last post that person ever made on D'land.

We get that you will be happy to see him go.

We also see that your critique of his effort today shows your knowledge of football and

You again show that you can't objectively view a players performance through your obvious bias.

He made some clangers as did others. I think you'll find that most unbiased commentators will put him in our best half dozen today. And rightly so.

Bontempelli should give Frawley half of his goal of the year prize

What a pathetic effort , had 2 chances to clear the ball and was completely useless and basically handed them the goal

If we get a top 5 pick for Frawley we will be overcompensated thats for sure

Frawley is a good defender, as he shown today.

He can defend. But he cannot do much else.

Average footballer, below average decision maker.

Dumber than his uncle and it shows in his decision making

WHY ANY BODY CARES IF HE GOES IS BEYOND ME those who want him to stay can have him

Clearly our best today. He didn't look like being beaten one-on-one either. He also offered great drive off half back and his kicking was excellent, especially his long kicking. The way he was revving the boys up at the start, tells me he's staying.

he was good today, seemed to have his spark back.... Im not sure he is staying though? But If he did stay, id play him of the half back line and keep Dunn at full back..

How many unrestricted free agents that have said: I will leave my decision if I stay or go till seasons end.Tthen re-signed with that club?

None that I can think off.

I am 99% sure he is gone at seasons end, same as all the others who have played this "waiting game"

I hope he stays. We have become a FA feeder club in recent times for obvious reasons. Now it's time for it to stop. We are on the improve and good loyal players like Dunn are showing the way.

If he goes I hope we get decent compensation or I will be [censored].

End of rant.

Don't disagree with any of this, but unlike others you are not allowing what we as supporters feel very uncomfortable about regarding his contract, with how he is actually playing.

I've been in the keep him camp until today I thought some of his lapses cost us the game and when the ball went through his legs it was embarrassing. Terlich got clean bowled too, how can that happen to AFL footballers.

Seems most of the negative comments are based around one moment... He dominated Jones today, pretty much handed him the sub vest and his drive from the back line was almost back to his best... Not many key position defenders, destroy there opponent while pulling in midfielder stats..

Clearly opinions here are skewed because he hasn't extended his contract... I get it.. Its the old push him away, so it doesn't hurt when he leaves... He will be missed, regardless of any opinion here...

Perfectly put. Despite your feeling on the contract situation, if you cant view his game objectively you just look silly.

  • 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.
